Actually, I don't think Joanne even belonged in the top 24. If you'll recall, she was the last girl picked. She and a white girl were the last two seated at the end of the show to pick the top 24 and I actually preferred the other girl. The white girl that got cut was very gracious in defeat and as they were walking back to the elevator, Simon turned to Randy and Paula and said something like: "I think we made the wrong choice." I think they did too. No surprise to me that she was cut so soon.

No surprises in the other cuts either. Wasn't Colton the last guy picked? He probably shouldn't have been there as well.

Probably one more week of "easy" cuts before they start eliminating some genuinely talented people.
