The guys of American Idol had better be glad that five of them are guaranteed to go through until the next round, because otherwise it would a mostly-girls club.
The 12 remaining girls on Idol performed in Hollywood for the first time last night, and they thoroughly outperformed the 13 guys the previous night. According to the rules this year, five girls and five guys will advance along with three others whom the judges pick.
Just as importantly, last night the judges were more judgmental, actually telling the singers what they liked and didn’t like about their performances, a much-needed change from Tuesday night’s rose-colored commentaries.
