So I was wrong about the Adam rule change. Interesting twist though. I think it's a mistake, and while I agree it was a crime that Daughtery got the boot a few years back it's part of what brings drama to the show. Now after every elimination we've got to go through another saga. Really just one more chance for Simon to be cruel.

I thought with Scott taking some of the grandma vote maybe Anoop might face his rightful fate and be gone. I was wrong. Poor jorge he's too good to go this quickly. But I guess at best he'd make three more weeks. I am surprised at Jasmine's departure this week. I guess she was more forgettable than i thought.

One thing i love about american idol is that it's really a study in mass psychology. A certain segment of the population will vote in a certain way. Sometimes two artists sharing the same demographic votes cant split them and cause a very good candidate to go leaving a lesser one with a more solitary hold on their demographic to advance. Right now we have way too many similar white guys. Michael may escape as he pulls down the rural/country demo. And i think Danny's just too talented to be worried yet. But if I were Matt or Kris I'd be a bit worried.

Megan gets the quirky vote. So she might pass all the way to six without having to sing. Lil is hugely talented and rightfully the only one who lay claim to the urban vote, she's golden for a while especially with the only other black candidate just eliminated. And of course America loves spunky 16 year olds and there's only one, allison gets a free pass for a few weeks as well.

My top 11 in order:

Adam
Lil
Danny
Matt
Alexis
Allison
Kris
Megan
Michael
Scott
Anoop
