American Idol 8 Top 13 - Result

First elimination for the final 13 happened. As what Simon said the other night, two of the hopefuls will be eliminated that is... if... (here is the twist) they decided not to save them using the "Judges Veto".

Judges Veto - as Ryan Seacrest explains, is the power of all the judges to save a contestant who got the lowest number of viewers vote to be booted off the show, if they thought that this contestant deserve a second chance. In return, two contestant will be eliminated on the next elimination night.

This "Veto" only applies before top 5 and can only be used once in the show, and the decision should be unanimous. - interesting - but I found it bias :).

Anyway the show started with a (of course) group number. Songs from Jackson 5. Well I felt like they are all lip sync-ing. It's a clean presentation since they didn't move a lot. Glad to see Scott walking around with some guide from other contestant.

After a short break, Seacrest start to delivered who will be the first to be eliminated. On the top couch row, Michael Sarver, Allison Iraheta, Matt Giraud and Kris Allen was informed to be safe. Leaving Jasmin Murray and my crush Meagan Corkrey who was asked to stand at the center stage. This gives us the message that these two received the lowest votes and was in danger to head back home.

Seacrest then inform Meagan that she is safe. Jasmine was ask to sing again while the judges deliberates if they will decide to use their veto to save her. After the performance, Randy told Jasmine: "Sorry baby, but this is not going to work", a clear message that she is booted off.

After Kanye West presentation, the elimination continued.

On the below couch, Seacrest called Anoop and Jorge at the center stage while the rest was told to be safe. This includes Scott McIntyre, Alexis Grace, Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds.

Kelly Clarson perform her new single "My Life Would Suck Without You" before Ryan continued to deliver who received the lowest vote between Anoop and Jorge.

Anoop was announced to be safe leaving Jorge at the stage who performed "Never Can Say Goodbye" once again. I was hoping for him to be spared for elimination since he got lots of potential when an unfriendly Simon says 'NO" to him.

Okay there, I was not a biggest fan of the eliminated contestants, but I was really shock that they let Jorge to go. I mean.. why of all those people who have some down moment on the presentation night.. why Jorge? They can booted Allison whom I was picked to be eliminated together with Jasmine. But I just realized that they will probably save some girls from elimination since the show were infest by lots of boys this season.. Oh well for Jasmine, who was barely made it to top 13... her time was over. She just made it because of "being commercialize" as claimed by Kara(who?) which didn't help her much.
