American Idol now has just ten contestants remaining after the latest elimination show saw Alexis Grace ousted in a surprise result – and she received a double blow when the judges also passing up on the opportunity to save her. But wait a minute….I thought the show had been fixed for her to win?
After over 30 million votes were cast for this week’s show, Grace found herself in the bottom three alongside Michael Sarver and Allison Iraheta.
Sources are suggesting what many already suspected and rumours are rife that American Idol bosses have already chosen their final four contestants.
Considering there are still 11 singers left on the show, that’s not good news for those people that aren’t Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace.
The New York Daily News reports that an AI insider said not only have the judges already picked their final four, but added that they want either Danny Gokey or Alexis Grace to scoop the title, saying that they are the most marketable.
Alexis Grace is one of my favourite female singers from this years American Idol series. I loved the song choice of Dirty Diana for last night’s show and I think her gutsy performance was great.
Some of the judges weren’t just as impressed, Simon and Randy in particular but as the girls are already in a minority in this years top 13, I hope Alexis makes it through to the next stage!
Yes you read the title right! Last night the American Idol judges twisted proceedings a little and at the end of the wild card round announced that this year, they were actually going to allow thirteen contestants through to the live finals rather than the usual twelve.
Anoop Desai, Jasmine Murray, Megan Corkrey and Matt Giraud will now join Jorge Nunez, Scott MacIntyre, Lil Rounds, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace and Michael Sarver in next weeks first live show in the full size American Idol studio.
