Amanda Overmyer Makes Final 12 On American Idol

Much as I suspected Amanda Overmyer continued on to make the final 12 American Idol contestants. Unfortunately the other Hoosier, Luke Menard was put back on the bus to Indiana. If you have read my other post this wasn't exactly a shocker. I was surprised to see Asia’h Epperson go home, I thought she was a lock for the top 8. It just goes to show you never know how the voting will go on American Idol. Danny Noriega and Katy Malloy's departure didnt come as much of a surpise to me. Both were just fair performers compared to the others.
Final 12 finalists that move into the next round of American Idol:

Amanda Overmyer Nails It

Simon's reaction to Amanda Overmyer's renditon of Joan Jett's popular song "I Hate Myself For Loving You" was " You nailed It!" all three judges on this weeks American Idol believed it was the type of song she should be singing and she did it well. Finally an Indiana American Idol shines. With that type of performance Amanda Overmyer can overcome the recent scandals with her DUI as well as her unusual hair style. Overall the entire cast of female American Idol finalists did a much better job last night. I personally think they put the men to shame. Brooke White had a second nice performance this week singing "Love Is A Battle Field". The so called ringer Carly Smithson also did a very nice job with her version of "I Drove All Night". In general I feel these were the top 3 from last night but the American Idol voters will let me know for sure tonight. Which American Idol female do you think did the best last night?
