Here is how I rank them 1-17 as of now. I know they get down to 12 the first week but does anyone know if it has to be 3 from each group in the final 12?

#1 Josh Krajcik
#2 Malanie Amaro (what was up with that set up?)
#3 Leroy Bell
#4 Drew Ryniewicz
#5 Lakoda Rayne
#6 Chris Rene
#7 Stacey Francis
#8 Marcus Canty
#9 Rachel Crow
#10 Phillip Lomax
#11 The Stereo Hogzz
#12 Intensity
#13 Tiah Tolliver
#14 Dexter Haygood
#15 The Brewer Boys
#16 Simone Battle
#17 Brian Astro Bradley (Please go home in week 1)

I don't care for any from 13 down and really 10 down could have been better choices in my opinion who were sent home/

How does everyone else see it right now?

#2 Malanie Amaro (what was up with that set up?)

Current conspiracy theory has Simon trying to drum up a couple of hundred thousand sympathy votes. (As if the other judges were going to freely let him have one more bite at the apple...)

Haha, very true! I mean everyone knows she is one of the top overall let alone the girls. This is the trick up his sleeve LA Reid was talking about. lol

Keep:
Josh Krajcik
Chris Rene
Rachel Crow
The Stereo Hogzz
Drew Ryniewicz

Maybe:
Malanie Amaro
Phillip Lomax
Simone Battle
Marcus Canty
Lakoda Rayne
Stacey Francis
Leroy Bell

Dismiss
Brian Bradley
Dexter Haygood
Tiah Tolliver
The Brewer Boys
Intensity

Looks like I have my bottom five picked out ahead of time.

I think it will be like The Voice so each Judge has the same no. Bc you know it's all about the judges here

If it is this way the 5 who should go

Stacey Francis, Tiah, Simone, Brewers, Marcus

Will go

Josh, Simone, Tiah, Lakoda Rayne, Phillip

eta how it works?

Not sure yet how the voting thing will go... whether it's acts eliminated from each category or from the whole pool. So I'll list them by category in order.

If there's a To Go list, take bottom two off of the Girls and bottom one from each other category.

Girls (crowded at the top four, Simone should go)
1. Drew
2. Tiah
3. Melanie
4. Rachel
5. Simone

Boys (top two here are among the best)
1. Phillip
2. Marcus
3. Astro
4. Chris

Over 30 (top two here are among the best)
1. Leroy
2. Josh
3. Dexter
4. Stacey

Groups (all weak except the first)
1. Stereo Hogzz
2. The Brewer Boys
3. Lakoda Rain
4. InTENsity

Doing by category, I saw somewhere that it could be a final 13 not 12 so I think one from each group will go home this week.

Girls

#1 Melanie Amaro
#2 Drew Ryniewicz (either of the top 2 could win it all)
#3 Rachel Crow
#4 Tiah Tolliver (would have loved the girls list if Jazlyn and Catlyn had been in over Simone and Tiah)
#5 Simone Battle (bottom 2 are a huge drop from the top 3)

Boys

#1 Chris Rene (I'm not too crazy about any selected, I liked a couple sent home better)
#2 Marcus Canty
#3 Phillip Lomax (Tim Cyphers and Skyler Anderson would have been in my final 4 list)
#4 Astro (didn't think he should be here, hope he goes first)

Over 30

#1 Josh Krajcik
#2 Leroy Bell (Top 2 are excellent and could win it all)
#3 Dexter Haygood (wish Tiger had made it)
#4 Stacey Francis (Had her way above Dexter before I found out about her history) (wish Elaine or Krista would have made it)

Groups

#1 Lakoda Rayne (not crazy about any group but I see potential here at least)
#2 Stereo Hogzz
#3 Intensity (wish The Answer would have made it instead)
#4 Brewer Boys (can't believe 4 Shore didn't make it, they were by a large margin tops on my group list.)

Should go

I am putting 5 even though I think it might be 4.

Astro - Brewer Boys - Stacey Francis - Simone Battle - Tiah Tolliver

Will go

Astro - Intensity - Dexter Haygood - Simone Battle - Tiah Tolliver

If it is 4 girls then Simone Battle goes and Tiah stays on both lists.

Of course this could change after there performances but I don't think much will change.
