I just watched my tape of this past week's performances. If I hadn't been on the road and had been watching the shows live, I probably would have voted for Anwar on Monday, and Jessica on Tuesday. The runners-up would have been Anthony and Scott among the boys, and Nadia among the girls. And I want Mikalah to leave the show at the earliest possible opportunity.
(I'm not bothered by Nikko's departure. I mean, I had him tied with Bo for fourth place in a field of eight...)
Anyway. I think this year's incarnation of the semifinals went pretty well. This is the one phase of the season they tinker with every year, and -- in my opinion -- invariably the least interesting part of the season. This time around was much more painless than last time, not to mention an episode shorter. Yay!
Now on to the best part: the finals. And this time around, there'll be no guest judges, making me very happy indeed. My one remaining wish-list item is that they'll have no nights devoted to the songs of a single artist, but I haven't heard anything about that one way or the other. I guess we'll find out.
