Just getting ready for tonight! I hope that they do well. It has been a long time since we've seen a Kelly or Carrie.

Here are the rumored top 12 girl song choices, for those who like to know beforehand (from Buddytv). Feel free to ignore if you don't want to know. Hey Idol fans, we have the list of the songs the Top 12 girls will be performing, and in what order, thanks to Joe's Place Blog and Rickey.org. The taping was yesterday (Monday), and the performances will air Wednesday night, March 2. Here is the guys' set list for tonight, if you're curious. Here's what the girls will be singing on Wednesday: 1. Tatynisa Wilson - "Only Girl (in the world)" by Rihanna 2. Naima Adedapo - "Summertime" by George Gershwin 3. Kendra Chantelle - "Impossible" by Christina Aguilera 4. Rachel Zevita - "Criminal" by Fiona Apple 5. Karen Rodriguez - "Hero" (in Spanish and English) by Mariah Carey 6. Lauren Turner - "Seven Day Fool" by Etta James (Jully Black also did a cover recently) 7. Ashthon Jones - "Love All Over Me" by Monica 8. Julie Zorilla - "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson 9. Haley Reinhart - "Fallin" by Alicia Keys 10. Thia Megia - "Out Here On My Own" by Irene Cara 11. Lauren Alaina - "Turn On the Radio" by Reba McEntire 12. Pia Toscano - "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders Rumor has it the judges loved Pia Toscano, Lauren Alaina, and Lauren Turner, and that Karen Rodriguez did well but only got mediocre feedback. Rachel Zevita, Naima Adedapo. Ashthon Jones, and Julie Zorilla are rumored to have gotten negative feedback from the judges. Overall, I think there's a bit more variety in the guys' song choices, but a lot of these make sense for showing off vocal ability. It seems like a lot of ballads, and I'm surprised to see Haley Reinhart singing "Fallin'," as I wish that song could be banned from American Idol forever. I'm also surprised by Tatynisa Wilson's choice to sing "Only Girl (in the World)" because it seems like that song might not translate to a live performance very well. But they offered it as one of the songs in the group round, so what do I know? (Nothing. I know nothing.) I'm most excited to see Lauren Turner. She has really come out of the woodwork in the recent episodes of Idol, and I love her song choice. I think she will nail it. I also think Thia Megia chose a good song for this stage in the competition, and I think Lauren Alaina's song choice will be fun (a breath of fresh air amidst all the ballads).

Tatynisa - band was too loud, sounded like she was trying to sing to high a key. Very hard to listen to.

I agree with your assessment of the first 3 Sadiesmom, I am now on the last singer so I can tell you it does get much better.

Rachael, - interesting, but can't judge her, she can't run around and sing at the same time - last note not my favorite. out of breath too much Karen standard Diva - haven't had one of them on for years. Wonder if they still want that or if they are sticking her in the middle so people will forget her? Really sang on key, but it sounded like she was holding back for some reason - can't explain what I mean, but like some sound caught in her throat - not very technical, sorry.

Rachel was really, really, really bad. I haven't been thrilled so far with anyone. Karen just finished, not too bad.

I was bored silly, but am enjoying Lauren. I guess Karen was good, but she really did not impress me. lol
