American Idol is down to its Top 12 and the competition just heated up with performances of songs from the John Lennon and Paul McCartney Library. But can the Top 12 handle the pressure?
After three decades of theme weeks and millions of votes, America has pared down the Top 24 to just 12 contenders to vie for the title of American Idol 1. David Cook 2. David Archuleta 3. Jason Castro 4. Brooke White 5. Syesha Mercado 6. David Hernandez
In the last performance for the guys before American Idol releases the Top 12, the men needed to take some chances with their '80s selections to secure their place in the final phase of the competition.
Halfway through the performances of the second week of the American Idol semifinals, I was beginning to wonder if the songs of the '70s were being wasted on the Top 10 men.
After two nights, 24 performances and 28 million votes, American Idol held its first elimination of the semifinals with no real surprises in the results.
The first week of American Idol's Top 24 is underway and the theme is the '60s. But can the Top 12 men take some older songs and make them their own?
I'm fairly new to the American Idol fad, so forgive me if I get a few things wrong. I thought the purpose of American Idol was to find untapped talent. But looking at the line up of the Top 12 men I'm not seeing a lot of freshness.
