OK, no way the order of performance was left to chance on American Idol the last two nights.
Idol knew they had found special vocal talent in Joshua Ledet and Elise Testone.
Idol also knew they weren’t considered front-runners, and wanted to give them a spotlight in which to shine.
Shine they did, but will it be enough to get them voted into the Idol finals.
I’m not so sure, but Elise and Joshua need not fret. They’re assured wild card spots even if they aren’t among the public’s favorites.
Check back this evening. I’ll be live blogging throughout Idol, giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to each selection as it happens.
Meanwhile, I’ve separated the 25 singers into six categories.
And I think seven of the final 13 spots are pretty much certain.
Finals bound: Phillip Phillips, Heejun Han, Colton Dixon, Jessica Sanchez, Shannon Magrane
Should breeze, but might need wild card help: Elise Testone, Joshua Ledet
On the bubble: Jen Hirsh, Skylar Laine, Jeremy Rosado, Reed Grimm, Jermaine Jones, Erika Van Pelt, Hollie Cavanagh, Hallie Day
Will need wild card help and probably won’t get it: Haley Johnsen, Creighton Fraker, Chelsea Sorrell, Chase Likens
Should be going home: Eben Franckewitz, Deandre Brackensick
Homeward bound: Aaron Marcellus, Adam Brock, Brielle Von Hugel and, unfortunately, Baylie Brown.

pretty much agree, i wish shannon and brielle could combine. shannon is a good vocalist but has absolutely zero stage presence, while brielle is midly talented and commands the stage
