Wednesday night, the American Idol judges completed half of what they call their most difficult job. That would be deciding who advances to the semifinals and who heads home after advancing this deep into the competition.

Tonight, American Idol took its most promising Season 14 contestants to the House of Blues. The goal: Make them perform in front of a live crowd to see who’s capable of delivering a top-notch live performance and who isn’t. You could call it the M.K. Nobilette round. Or the C.J.

As it was, the hour ended and I was left wondering why anyone, I mean anyone…
