With the completion of performances of the top 12 boys and top 12 girls, America’s votes will send 4 people home. 4 people going home at least means the filler will be somewhat more limited than it usually is.
Siobhan Magnus is safe. Haeley Vaughn is also safe. Michelle Delamor is safe, too. Katelyn Epperly is safe as well. That brings us down to Janell Wheeler or Katie Stevens. Randy does not have an opinion who will go. It’s the end of the road for Janell.
Paige Miles is safe. Lacey Brown is also safe. Lilly Scott is safe. Crystal Bowersox is safe as well. That brings us down to Ashley Rodriguez and Didi Benami. Didi is safe, so Ashley is going home.
Michael Lynche is safe. John Park is also safe. Aaron Kelly is safe. Todrick Hall is safe as well. That leaves Tim Urban and Joe Munoz, the guy who was cut to begin with and the guy who’s had no camera time. Kara would not say this is the right pair to choose from that group. Tim is safe and quite stunned. Joe has been eliminated.
Casey James is safe. Jermaine Sellers is also safe. Lee DeWyze is safe. Andrew Garcia is safe, too. That leaves Tyler Grady and Alex Lambert. Unlike the others, Simon does not wimp out. He thinks it’s over for Tyler. That would be correct. Tyler blames lack of constructive criticism during Hollywood week.
