Crap. Marie-Pierre, Katelyn Dawn, Martin Kerr, Gary Morrisette, Omar Lunan, and Oliver Pigott, GONE !!! First of all, I wasn’t a fan of Gary or Martin at all. But the rest of ’em, i loved !
Marie-Pierre: One of my favorites. I really loved the tone of her voice.
Katelyn Dawn: I thought she was in it to win it.
Martin Kerr: Like Zack said, ” I believe that you’re not the next Idol”
Gary Morrisette: [No Comment]
Omar Lunan: Not one of my favoritesm but COULD HE EVER SING !!
Oliver Pigott: Liked him better than Sebastian.
As for the Top 10, Earl and Mith, in my opinion, should not be there. In their place should have been Marie-Pierre and Katelyn. Oh Well .. hopefully they are smart enough to try out again next year.
