Overall, happy with who was chosen. Talent was amazing this year, so there were tough decisions.

Clint is one of the best voices in the history of AI (the TV show, not the forum). His rendition of "Superstition" was the best I've ever heard. For him not to be voted through after singing like that?? Well, he dug a deep hole when he kicked that kid out of his group. He's also totally phony with his emotions. It's amazing that the viewing public sees through that and pushes the button for someone else.

I was MORE shocked when they didn't ask him to sing for a spot. But I think it's possible they figured if he couldn't get through with the singing he did, he would never make it so what's the use.

Likability is what is going to get you promoted at this level. But the judges could have saved him... they didn't. Another shock. But overall, the guy choices were good.

The SHOCKER was that Kendra wasn't chosen, and the Latina Sensation that made Top 10 over Kendra was quite surprising.
