I watched both of this week's episodes last night. I think I'm pretty happy with the top 24 this year - they all seem to be strong at this point, even though I hadn't seen some of them before last night. Hopefully they all stay that way. I'm ecstatic that the cowboy didn't make it, but nervous that he might be the last-minute addition to the live shows...but I'm hoping that spot goes to David Leathers, Jr. That kid is amazing, and it still shocks me that he's 17 - he looks 12. I really like Phil Phillips - even though he has a different style, he reminds me of Andrew Garcia in that he has the ability to really make every song his own. Again, I hope he keeps it up - Andrew did not and I think that's ultimately why he didn't go any further than he did. I was upset that Lauren Gray didn't make it through, but maybe she'll come back next year.
