Did the girl who sang Natural Woman and the platinum haired Lily make it through?

This is the one that shocked me the most last night. They let this guy, Andrew Garcia, go home because he fumbled his words. He's the one that sang Paula's "Straight Up". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pB3gAjivrY

From "genius" to zero in one night. That's too bad.

Naja, are you sure? I thought that it was him they were letting go but the guy (who looks a lot like him) that I was confusing him with was from Chicago, where the Andrew Garcia guy is from California (Moreno Valley - remember, his mom and dad used to be in a gang). The guy who looked a lot like Andrew Garcia was in that group that had so much controversy...one of the last shown on group night last night...and they told him not to beg (which he did because it was his last year). He is not the guy who sang the Paula song during the audition process.

You're right, Roxip! I just scanned through the show and I mixed Andrew up with the guy named Mark.

We figured that out. It was Mark, the guy who looks like Andrew that went home.

Mark and Andrew did resemble each other closely though - I really had to check where he was from (because I never remember names) to be sure. They were the same general body type, wore the same (fugly) glasses and had the same (again, IMO fugly) hairstyle...but Andrew is much more talented. I really didn't see Andrew's group number at all...I'm sure it was shown but it wasn't featured.

The one that really ticked me off was the girl who just quit just before the group audition and the others had to just make do without her. So many would have given anything for that second chance and she just threw it away.

Roxip, at this point point I can't tell any of them apart...LOL I really don't think I'll be able to pick a true favorite until they do the produced voting stage songs on stage, alone, with all the bells and whistles. I agree Allie, that made me sick. She left because she figured she would be sent home anyway and didn't want to be humiliated? C'mon. We almost all have some level of low self esteem, but if I had made it already twice past the judges like she had, I would figure I have "something" to offer and go for it.

From 46 to 24 - 12 girls and 12 guys - I cant keep them straight, I changed the channel!! They say there is a lot of girl talent and showed all these girls crying (individual)... I'll wait till I can figure it out... but the one BIG guy that his wife had a baby - he's one of the 12 guys!!

too much else on -- Lost and Olympics. I'm not sure I'll ever get around to tuning into Idol this season!

What's the point of putting them in those three rooms and then the next day doing more eliminations instead of doing it all at once? I fell asleep during the last part I was so bored.

I am just happy that Big Mike made it through. He is the only one that sticks in my mind when I try to remember the individual contestants. when I see them, I remember them, but as far as remembering them after the night is over, forget it.

The grumpy rocker chick leaving didn't make me feel bad at all. She was so bossy and unpleasant, and really, her singing was mediocre to me. I did feel sad for the girl with the paralyzed face. I really wish she was a better singer so she could have made it through.

Naja, Ellen is having her as a guest on her show sometime soon. Ellen really wanted her to stay on AI. (The young woman with the facial palsy, not the grumpy rocker chick)

What a waste of a night...and to think we get to do it again tonight...what was the point of a 2-hour show tonight when they could easily have done it tomorrow night. I'm getting a little tired of American Idol monopolizing our time like this...although I liked knowing more about the contestants but the way they are doing this is ridiculous. I'm almost glad Simon will be gone next year because I doubt it will be worth watching. They did encourage the girl with the facial paralysis to work hard and come back next year...I'm guessing that there were just too many other "better" girls this year in the competition (or girls that fit into the same category as she did) to put her through.

Isn't the girl with the facial paralysis the one that Simon said he did NOT agree with the decision to let her go?
