4 Idol Veterans Eliminated

The Top 40 of American Idol Season 12 was revealed last Thursday. Before the revelation, there were 28 boys and 24 girls left fighting for their Top 40 spot. First three eliminated persons revealed from the girls including ARIEL SPRAGUE from season 11 and LAUREN MINK also from last season. They cannot continue their journey for this season. Stephanie Schimel and Rachel Hale competed for the last spot for the Top 20 Girls and Rachel (The Most Happy Contestant Ever) was chosen for the spot. 

The Boys has to be the most difficult elimination I guess because eight people have to go and leave the competition. Unlike the girls elimination the sing-off was first done before calling the eight eliminated contestants. The sing-off is between Adam Sanders and Josh Holiday who had his pants splits during his performance. It is indeed a great performance of an "American Idol Song?" Geogia On My Mind. That performance leads Adam Sanders packing together with DAVID LEATHERS JR. who is visibly disappointed and shattered. The other contestants whose journey ends in Hollywood are DEVAN JONES from last year's Vegas Round, Will White, Marvin Calderon etc..

The Misfits

Hollywood Week Group Round (Janelle Arthur, Angela Miller, Kez Ban and Breana Steer) singing Be My Baby by the Ronettes. It's ironic because Janelle Arthur was eliminated last year with the same song. But that was last year I think it's her year now as she made it to the Top 40 according to rumors.

The Swagettes

Hollywood Week Group Rounds (Candice Glover, Melinda Ademi, Denise Jackson and Kamaria Ousley)
singing HIT EM UP STYLE. Very nice group.

Eliminated: Matheus Fernandes

Many were shocked when Matheus Fernandes got eliminated during the solo round of Hollywood week. I personally was a fan of him because I admire his courage. Despite of his height problem he has managed to make it to the Day 2 of Hollywood round and nailed it. You may remember Matheus as one of the finalists of the Glee Project. He was the Top 8 of the 2011 season.

Top 40: Devin Velez

Watch out for Devin Velez if he can make it through to the next round. He is a stand out last Wednesday when he sings What a Wonderful World. The judges are all impressed and said that he was born to sing. 

Here is a video of Devin singing Wrap Me In Your Arms.

Top 40: Gurpreet Singh Sarin

Watch out for Gurpreet Singh Sarin as he advances to the top 40. He is also known as THE TURBANATOR because of his interchanging turban. I think he has the most light voice in the competition and people like him not because of his voice but his personality and style. Here is a video of him singing John Legend's Ordinary People. 


Top 40: Bryant Tadeo

Watch out for Bryant Tadeo ,a Filipino-American contestant if he can make it through to the next round. He is one of the rumored top 40 contestants of AI. Here is a video of him performing a Kings of Leon hit song Use Somebody.

Watch out for Melinda Ademi this coming Wednesday. She is one of the rumored Top 40 contestants. You may remember her as the partner of THIA MEGIA in Vegas round in season 10. Thia went through but Melinda got eliminated. Watch out for their rendition of a Beetles' classic.
