Ok, so first up are the guys! I'll seperate the guys into 2 groups of 6 - 1 person from each group is going home. Group 1: Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Josh Gracin, Bo Bice, Chris Daughtry, Elliott Yamin Group 2: Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson, David Cook, David Archuleta, Jason Castro, Michael Johns Group 1 is up first. Clay Aiken...is safe. Josh Gracin is...safe. Elliott Yamin...will wait around. Chris Daughtry...is safe. Ruben Studdard...will wait around. So will Bo Bice. Now, a performance by Natasha Beddingfield! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0avYZDAHHtI

Elliott sang "If You Really Love Me" - Simon said that he potentially is one of this year's best singers. PMB agrees, he's safe! Ruben...Bo...Ruben sang "Superstar" and the judges went crazy - even later in the show, Simon went back to his performance, giving him a 10/10 for personality. Bo sang "Drift Away" and emerged as an early frontrunner of Season 4. The first male leaving the all-star competition is...Ruben Studdard.
Group 2 is up next. The 3 contestents in this group that went to the finals of their original season (Blake Lewis, David Cook, David Archuleta) are all safe. Michael Johns sang "Light My Fire" - the judges all love it and Simon notes him as one of the more consistent performers so far. Chris Richardson sang "I Don't Wanna Be" and while Randy & Paula loved it, Simon felt his voice was lost in the song. Jason Castro sang "Daydream" - Randy wasn't feelin this performance too much but Simon & Paula really liked it. The 2nd guy going home, the contestent that scored worst among the entire top 24 is...Chris Richardson.

Now for your top 12 girls...
I will again split the top 12 girls into 2 random groups of 6.
Group 1- Kelly Clarkson, Kimberly Locke, Jennifer Hudson, Vonzell Solomon, Kellie Pickler, Melinda Doolittle Group 2 - Tamyra Gray, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Katherine McPhee, Jordin Sparks, Brooke White
Group 1 is up 1st. Kelly Clarkson, Kimberly Locke, Jennifer Hudson and Vonzell Solomon are safe. That means either Kellie Pickler or Melinda Doolittle is going home. Melinda sang "Since You've Been Gone" - the judges loved it and Simon commented on how sincerely nice she is. Kellie sang "How Far" - the performance didn't get too much positive attention but the judges love her personality. The first female contestent going home is...Kellie Pickler.
Group 2 is up now. The 3 winners in this group (Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks) will all be in the top 20. Joining them will be Katherine McPhee. Tamyra Gray sang "And I Am Telling You..." and the judges LOVED it, as she emerged as THE early frontrunner of season 1. Brooke sang "Happy Together" and the judges were mixed about her song choice. Both Brooke & Tamyra missed their chances at going to their original finale - which one will continue trying for their 2nd chance? Tamyra Gray...is safe.

To sum up, the 4 semi-finalists leaving the competition are... 24. Chris Richardson 23. Kellie Pickler 22. Brooke White 21. Ruben Studdard think about their time on American Idol as the original Idol-send off song plays, Bad Day by Daniel Powter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7g6LenMQ5EI'll post the top 20 with performance clips soon or in the morning. Remember, don't send me votes until the clips are posted.

Wow, I didn't realize the Top 20 night was that awesome! 5 of the guys there made great "moments" especially two of them.

Yeah, it was fun to watch some of these especially with judges comments when I went to find the links. IMO, 3 guys and 4 girls were incredible.

So the votes are in...girls are up 1st...
We've already seen Idol winners Taylor Hicks & Ruben Studdard get cut but the 4 female winners remaining (Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks) are safe and moving on to the top 16.
Vonzell Solomon and Jennifer Hudson are also safe. That leaves Melinda Doolittle, Tamyra Gray, Kimberly Locke & Katherine McPhee hanging in danger. Take a rest: the guys are up now.

Yet again, a male contestent recieved the worst score and we are looking for that man. Sadly, it is either Clay Aiken, Bo Bice or David Cook. Clay sang Invisible, his 1st post-idol single, a top 20 CHR/Top 40 hit that propelled his album to the best Idol 1st week sales ever. Bo Bice sang "Whipping Post", the performance that the judges decleared the 1st "moment" of Season 4. David Cook sang "Everything I Do" in Hollywood week and although the performance was strong, Simon worried if he'd crumble without the security of the guitar. Bo is safe. The 1st contestent leaving us tonight, with the worst score of the entire top 20 is...David Cook.

As for the four girls on the chopping block, here we go. Melinda's performanced of "My Funny Valentine", recieved a standing ovation from Randy and was decleared "incredible" by Simon. Tamyra sang "Silent Night" to a great response at the Idol Christmas special. Kimberly Locke sang "Fall" on her return to the Idol stage during Season 7. Kat sang "All Is Fair In Love" but was met with resistence from the judges. The first girl leaving tonight is...Kimberly Locke. before we see another girl and anotgher guy leave, enjoy a performance by Leona Lewis! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJqPLBNRvQY

With 9 guys remaining in the competiton, 1 more will go now. That contestent is either Michael Johns, Jason Castro or Elliott Yamin. Michael sang "Go Your Own Way" and after being consistently praised, the judges were disappointed. Jason sang "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" and bored the judges. Elliott sang "Moody's Mood For Love" and got a standing o from Randy and while Simon praised his vocal, he told him he couldn't win the competition with songs like that. The 2nd guy leaving the competition is...Jason Castro.

Now we still have 3 girls in trouble: Melinda, Katherine & Tamyra. These girls are strangers to being in trouble so early in the competition - Katherine didn't go bottom 3 until top 10 week, Tamyra didnt go bottom until being eliminated final 4 week and Melinda survived in safety until final 3 week where she was cut. In the all-star Idol edition however, we lose Katherine McPhee in the top 20 round.
