I could also call this post “Who I Want in the Top 20” but I’ll try hard to not just put all my favorites through to the next round. As discussed in previous posts (like this one), there have been great performances this season already. In spite of the judges making the goofy decision to keep Alyssa Raghu instead of her “friend” Julia Davo, who could have been a perfectly quirky addition to the top 24, Alyssa is already gone and along with her a few others who definitely should’ve have had a chance to sing for America’s vote. But alas, the judges do what they want and I’m sure they have their reasons. The top 24 performed last weekend and this weekend (Sunday and Monday night) we’ll all find out together who got enough votes to stick around. Here are the current contestants:

Abi Carter
Triston Harper
Odell Bunton Jr.
Hailey Mia
Jennifer Jeffries
Jordan Anthony
Nya
Blake Proehl
KB
Jack Blocker
Roman Collins
Mia Matthews
McKenna Breinholt
Emmy Russell
Will Moseley
Ajii
Kayko
Kennedy Reid
Elleigh Marie
KBlocks
Jayna Elise
Julia Gagnon
Mackenzie Sol
Quintavious Johnson

BUT WHO GETS ELIMINATED?

A solid list of entertainers there, don’t you think? But 4 will be sent home in the next two episodes. If I get these right you owe me a 7-11 slushy! Besides one who is clearly out of his or her league, it’s already a difficult thing to send any of these performers home. But rules are rules. Here are my guesses for elimination…

Blake – Seems like a really great guy but there’s too much for him to be taught (last episode he didn’t know how to raise the mic stand) and he’s already severely outmatched vocally.

KBlocks – Quirky, yes. But her fashion does her no favors and her singing voice is not pleasant enough for a large scale career.

Elleigh Marie – Who?

Roman – This will be the biggest surprise elimination. He’s got a soulful voice and he’s an entertainer, but his goofball fans didn’t vote enough!
