I don’t think anyone was overly surprised to find out that Lil Rounds was voted through last night, but it sure was nice to find out that we will be seeing much more of her on American Idol. I liked the way American Idol told us that lil-rounds made it through. Instead of making her stand up with two, three, four other contestants. All they did was make Lil rounds stand up and Ryan Seacrest told her congratulations you have made it through. I don’t think that any contestant who stood up next to Lil and was told that one of them was through and one of them wasn’t would believe that they were through.

I think that Lil was also pretty confident that she had done enough to make it through to the top 12. She didn’t seem too nervous and she sure did enough to deserve it. Other contestants from group three who were voted through were Scott Macintyre and Jorge Nunez.

Lil is pretty pumped that she is through

So we now know 9 of the 12 contestants who will be competing in the top 12 on American idol this year. They are: Lil Rounds, Scott Macintyre, Jorge Nunez, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta.
