I think we'll have some interesting surprises tonight. The judges seemed to be looking at the 50 they had left and really really focusing on an end-game strategy. They want people who have good voices and will be interesting for the competition. Of course, they can only control who goes in the top 24 - the "America" decides (yeah, if they aren't fudging votes first). Rumor is circulating that 19E wants a guy this year - preferably someone young so they can have their own male "Miley Cyrus". So far, the two male winners (Rueben and Taylor) have been so lackluster that the label has dropped them both. Only the women winners have really panned out - Kelly and Carrie, Fantasia so-so on Broadway and such - and Jordan is still too early to tell. Granted, they have Daughtry too - but he didn't win.
