American Idol Season 8: Top 13 Result
March 12, 2009 · Filed Under All Entries, Entertainment
Though none of those eliminated is my favorite, I was surprised to see Jorge Nunez go. I was expecting that he’ll have the whole Puerto Rico’s support on his Idol quest. He did made a bad pick. He may have made it for another round if he sang She’s Out of My Life.
Jasmine Murray is the other casualty of this week’s double elimination. At her young age, she’ll have a lot of time to polish her talent. I do not have any problem with her being serious or sentimental if that is her personality. I just feel something unnatural with her whenever she performs.
It seems that the judges will be having a power to veto the voters’ decision for this season. However, with the way votes are favoring the judges’ favorites (i.e. Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds), they may not be needing to use it after all. They will all advance to the next round together with Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta, Anoop Desai, Kris Allen, Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud, Megan Corkrey, Michael Sarver, and Scott McIntyre.
Next week, only one Idol hopeful will be walking down the road. If he gets saved, two will go on the following week.

Seems to me, this is the most boring season for AI, maybe because I really didn’t watch these kids during the semis.
I mean, Top 13? Doubled elminations? 4 Judges? Weird.
After watching the last week’s show, I would pick Grace and Giraud over Lambert or Gokey.
Seeing Nunez there on Jackson week, I was like, hey it’s the Menudo!

Hi K!
for the double elimination, i think the reason behind it was they were trying to catch up with the schedule since they decided to have 13 contestants.
i wasnt able to see the show before the top 36. i became an alexis-believer after hearing her during the top 36 and now after watching the back episodes (auditions & hollywood week), giraud is growing in on me. but i think matt’s edge of being justin-like might also become his disadvantage…
i never liked lambert from day 1.
