Alas, they did not, sending her into danger. We felt she did enough to make it into America's vote, but were also not completely sure they would feel the way we did. The news was less certain for Nailyah Serenity (8). Haven Madison (12) was fully expected to advance with her journey thus far, and that's just what happened. We loved her sound, but wanted her to really lose herself in the music to show us how much it means to her. She's another fan-favorite from throughout the season, but weren't sure she resonated quite as strongly, and she didn't, slipping into danger. We can't be mad about it, either, and in fact are pleased America is looking at the whole journey when making these choices.

Indeed it was, as he scored a spot in America's Top 10. That had us wondering if the fact he's been so beloved was enough to overcome an inconsistent night. Ryan kept going down the bottom of our list, next landing on Warren Peay (19). He was followed by Hannah Nicolaisen (18), who had a so-so night and also had to sing for her spot on the show. Michael Williams (17) was out next, and we knew he was on the edge of going out of the competition after a lackluster Sunday night performance. Luckily, she didn't need their comments to win America over, as she's been a fan-favorite since the beginning, easily taking the first spot in the Top 12. You'll see how they fared this week when we break down those performances further down.įirst to come out and receive the news was Wé Ani (6), the contestant Katy and Luke both short-changed with their comments last night, complaining about the results rather than providing her with any feedback. That way I can see who's the best and then see if you get it right with your votes - i.e., agree with me.Īmerican Idol 5th Judge: Katy Perry Disrespects One Contestant to Complain About Top 20 ResultsĪs a quick note, the numbers you see next to the contestants names below are the rankings we gave them in the Top 20 from Sunday night's performances.

The breakaway star of the night, though, was the "American Idol" fly, who managed to steal the spotlight in two different performances before Ryan Seacrest came out brandishing a broom to take care of some extermination business. But the voting audience is also definitely taking into consideration a contestant's story and their entire journey to this point, which was good news for a few finalists who didn't have their strongest outings. For the most part, the original songs were a good choice and were rewarded.

What did we learn with these results? We learned that America loves contestants who take chances. One of them dropped what may have been the strongest performance of the whole night - which makes you wonder how they wound up in the Bottom 10 to begin with?
