From the thousands, they became hundred, then 32, and now only 17 remain, after facing the audition, the boot camp, and the judges on their homes, the top 17 will be performing live next week. So before anything happens, I ranked the contestants from each category, starting from my favorite, to my least favorite. All things written here are my opinion, and I hope I don't get any haters.
GIRLS (Mentored by Simon Cowell)
- Melanie Amaro - since the day she auditioned, she has always been one of my favorites. She deserves to be in the top 17 and I know she will be in the top 12. The last performances by her were best, and the following will be the best-est, and better than best-est.
- Rachel Crow - who would forget about this little girl's personality? She's the youngest contestant of the show, and I'm sure she will make it to the top 12. However, I wanna see her perform more jolly, and not the way she performed the Backstreet Boys song.
- Drew Ryniewicz - her rendition of "Baby" is better than Justin Bieber's original, and that's why this girl is really likable. She picks a song, thinks, and then turns it around, and I wanna see more of her in the following weeks.
- Tiah Tolliver - she's also awesome, however, I didn't expect her to be in the top 17, however, she's also likable, but she has to lessen her confidence because it kinda annoys me, and I think it annoys other people too.
- Simone Battle - the most unexpected person to be in the top 17, but let's see if she'll justify her place in the top 17 in the following weeks.
DESERVING BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT: Kaitlyn Koch
BOYS (Mentored by LA Reid)
- Phillip Lomax - I like hearing his voice, and I like how he's sure of what he's doing. His genre may be too not in the season, but who knows? He might just change everything, and make us like jazz/blues in his own way. He will be in the top 12, and I'm sure that nobody will stop the music for him.
- Marcus Canty - I never knew that he was a contestant until the Judges' homes part of the show, and he really hit me. The awesomeness of his voice would take him somewhere in this competition and surely, that's somewhere between the top 3 and top 7.
- Chris Rene - yes, he was on rehab, and surely, girls will be on rehab when they go crazy for him as he sings his way into their hearts. Go Chris Rene! I've got nothing more to say about him.
- Brian Bradley - awesome rapping kid, but that's kind of usual, so he was the only unexpected person to be in the top 17 among the boys. Let's (If nobody agrees then "I") just hope that he'll himself worthy of staying.
DESERVING BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT: Brennin Hunt
OVER 30's (Mentored by Nicole Scherzinger)
- Stacy Francis - I know everybody knew that she'll be on the top of my list, well who wouldn't put her on the top of the list when she's the best performer to exist yet? Stacy Francis struggled in her life, and now it's her time. She surely has a spot in the finale for me, and I'm sure she's now smiling in the Purple Rain.
- Leroy Bell - the young-looking 50-year0old guy doesn't only have the looks, but as well as the voice. This sort-of young man will do everything just to get to the place he wants.
- Josh Krajcik - he has wow factors, but I'm not really sure if he'll win the competition, his genre is not common, but some people would love it.
- Dexter Haygood - I don't want haters, but I was really disappointed when Nicole picked him instead of picking one of the other four. That's all I can say, because I'm really disappointed.
DESERVING BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT: Tiger Budbill, James Kenney
GROUPS (Mentored by Paula Abdul)
- InTENsity - are you sure this group was made up of eliminated contestants from other categories? Well, they are, but they're AWESOME!!! I like the way they chose their first group song, and I know their names will all be known soon in the music industry.
- The Stereo Hogzz - they have their own way of delivering their songs that would really get audience, that may be the reason why Paula chose them to be in the top 17!
- Brewer Boys - didn't expect that they will make it, but I like them, because their performances are cool, and there is just something in them that others don't have.
- Lakoda Rayne - I like them, and that's all I'm gonna say because I don't wanna say anything more negative.
DESERVING BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT: The Anser
