We're still irate over the fact that Tatiana del Toro was named to this season's Wild Card round, but we'll get to that in a moment.
First, let's celebrate the fact that America got it right. We agree with all three finalists voted through to the next round:
- Lil Rounds
- Scott MacIntyre
- Jorge Nuñez
Lil Rounds and Jorge Nunez are American Idol finalists. Congrats!
Following this announcement, Ryan Seacrest explained to viewers that the judges had selected eight singers that they believed deserved a second chance to audition for the finals.
The inclusion of del Toro is nothing short of infuriating. The show is clearly hoping for yet another emotional breakdown from the contestant, as it aims for ratings and drama, as opposed to actual singing talent. For shame.
Here's the list of Wild Card contestants scheduled to perform tonight:
- Von Smith
- Anoop Desai
- Jesse Langseth
- Jasmine Murray
- Matt Giraud
- Ricky Braddy
- Megan Joy Corkrey
- Tatiana del Toro

I can not believe they put Tatiana back on the block for selection and not the contestant from Bowie, MD...
Let me tell you that the integrity of the show is at sake... regardless of how many great singers you ultimately select... the spoiler is another "Sinjaha"..(excuse the spelling) in the mix... being voted on as a joke while those more talented are being dropped from the roles....
You are resting on the morals of Jennifer, Clay, Kelley, etc... But for real... the show has been losing its integrity since last season.....
That being said... I would hope that you did not lessen the chance of someone as talented as the contestant from Bowie... for Tatiana....
You judges are the JOKE...if you did… You promised the most exciting contest this year.. and I am already doubting if that is in fact what you will end up with given what you did last night… America did much better then you four!

I think puddlescited is completely wrong! Tatiana has a wierd and strange personality but her voice and her tallent is fierce! I think it takes a lot for someone to get up on a stage and be judged on a National level. When you say the judges are "the JOKE"..YOu are clueless to what you are talking about. Its AMERICA that is deciding now! I challenge you to strive to become the next American Idol.
