Here's the published listing for next week:

Tuesday 8-9.30pm: Top 10 boys perform
Wednesday 8-9.30pm: Top 10 girls perform
Thursday 8-10pm: FIVE boys and FIVE girls go through to the regular rounds.

As we actually had a top 24 not 20, I'm guessing they actually mean Top 12s, and SIX boys and SIX girls go through to the regular rounds.

Anyone seen confirmation of how many go through next week?

I have to admit that I am much impressed with j-lo and Steven. They have even forced Randy to step up to the plate. J-lo and Steve both exhibit a real compassion for the performers but they are also honest. There aren't any of the theatrics. Steven is just funny to watch. Kind of reminds me of what Keith Richards might be like sober.

I am a bit surprised the guy with the deep voice went through. Not sure if he has enough range to be a star performer. I see him as a great backup singer or part of a duet/group. Not a solo performer

Throughout the seasons I've watched a handful of shows each year. I couldn't stick with the show mainly because I thought the judges were lame (for a lack of a better word)and the contestants were,yup, lame. But I'll probably stick around till the end this time because I'm getting a huge kick out of Steven and Jennifer. The best thing that could have happened to Idol was Simon leaving.

Alledgedly the first ten finalists only will be revealed tomorrow night. Then the remaining fourteen will sing next week. Speculation has the judges picking two and vote results picking a third. We'll know soon enough.

Did anyone see Casey sitting with the boys last night? I didn't notice him at the end either when they were all on stage. I hope he's ok. He's one of my favs. It'd be terrible if he has to drop out.

I've never really been a fan of Jennifer Lopez's, but until last night, I was thinking she really wasn't so bad on this show. Then they aired that excruciatingly long music vid and that totally ruined it for me. Classic self promotion when the show should be about the contestants. So sorry J-Lo, I'm still not a fan.

Not a fan of top 13. They really should've stopped at 10!! :-)

I am re-watching a few of the shows... Kinda surprised but I am thinking Randy can judge. It seems as if he is the only one that is telling it like it is. Jennifer and Steven like everyone.

And Jennifer needs to stop interrupting Randy as he gives his view. Comeon Jen it is his turn.

Bon..I had said on the results thread that same thing about Randy. He is the only one of the judges that tells the singers the real truth. Some of them were so flat in the beginning of their songs and Steven & JLo loved them and Randy got scorned at when he brought it up. He is a softer Simon but truthful.

Steven is a really intuitive judge and has the best instincts out of the three. I love when he starts leaning in during a good performance like he's inhaling it lol. Interesting guy. Not mean-spirited. Some have gotten through that I don't think he favored. Think he's learning to button his lip, which is unfortunate.

I'm really disappointed that Ashthon made it. She was awful, but I think Randy wanted her in. Jovany and Lauren really should of made it. I also think Scotty isn't all that great either, but he was popular with the public. I'm wondering why 13 and not 14? I hope that they give one more a spot. I would love for Jovany to get a second chance.

IMO Jovany and Stefano were too similar to both make it in, and the judges seemed to prefer Stefano. Ashthon was the hottest girl in the group and she has a lot of spirit, which keeps people's attention...besides, (and I don't mean this negatively) was there another black woman in the competition at that point? I liked the other Lauren too but for some reason she didn't fit into what they wanted this year, nor did the voting public choose her.

I think Randy AND Jennifer wanted Ashthon in.

And yes, there was another "black girl" ... Tatynisa.

But Tatynisa didn't make the top 10. And she was horrible!

This is going to come across bad--but so what if a black girl didn't make it in the first time? And Jacob Lusk IS a black diva. LOL

There's a LOT of flava in this Top Ten. My fav is Thia and she gets nothing but dismissed on the forums for being "The Philipina one."

Naima did a good job on her wild card, so ok. But Lauren Turner shoulda had a shot. Wanna talk minorities? Try being a frumpy chubby woman with a killer voice who doesn't get a shot based on her looks. IMO

ITA with you Nyheat. I was shocked that Lauren T. didn't make it into the Top 13. She has a much better voice that Ashthon.

I'm with you on the Lauren T. assessment. That's exactly what I thought: even though she's a great singer, they didn't give her a shot because her looks don't fit the mold. Hope she finds success elsewhere.

Sorry I went on a bit of a rant there. Those Idol boards can really get you worked up. Back to normal now. :-)

I do think I'll be supporting more of the male contestants since I've given them more of a listen. I really like Paul!

I'm not disagreeing with you on Lauren T, but we've all watched Idol and we know they tend to cast "types" at times instead of talent.

And when I made the comment about the "black girl" I meant the people who were already in the top 10. If they hadn't put a woman of color (sorry, I'm really not trying to be racially insensitive here) through in the Wild Card section there would have been protests and upset people and (HORRORS) perhaps lost ratings and bad publicity. I really don't have a problem with either of the 2 women put through...they both have unique qualities ... they will either rise to the occasion or they will be voted out quickly. I do agree that Ashthon isn't the most likeable contestant, and she is arguably not nearly as talented as Lauren T, but she does fit in their cute young sassy mold and Idol has always liked that kind of singer.

It's fine. I've been getting way too much into it, which is why I've tried to avoid following this show til it hits Top 12. It's not really worth getting worked up over.

LOL...I agree. I have to remind myself that these people are never going to do anything for me (except hopefully entertain me!). But the best part of most of these shows is discussing them here on TVCH.

What I find interesting is that almost everyone here agrees that Ashthon shouldn't have been a wild card, and that there were others who sang better. It's rare that we are almost all in agreement, yes?

I think there were more painful cuts on the women's side and they are a weaker force for it, which is unfortunate. I think Kendra was a more interesting singer than the other two by far. But bygones I guess. Seems like the best of the men went though, no quibbles there. But the women either screwed up themselves (Rachel, Julie) or the American public screwed them (Lauren, Kendra) or the judges passed them over. Kinda sad to see. But oh well.
