Who made it to the Wild Card round of American Idol?
Posted on March 5th, 2009 by Calvin | Viewed 39 times
Right after Ryan announced the last of the Top 3 in the 3rd group, the judges talked among themselves on who among the contestants will belong to the Wild Card round and another shot at the Final 12.
The judges only chose 8 who will be on the Wild Card round:
- Von Smith
- Jasmine Murray
- Ricky Braddy
- Megan Corkrey
- Tatiana del Toro
- Matt Giraud
- Jesse Langseth
- Anoop Desai
So who did they miss? I don’t agree on Jasmine, there are other contestants who performed better than her. Ju’not, Felicia or any one of those blonde girls.
From the Wild Card round, the judges will choose 3 contestants who will advance so there will be no help from the audience this time.
So who do you think will advance?
I’m 90% sure 2 spots will go to Matt and Anoop. Last is a toss up between Von, Ricky or Megan but I hope they’ll give it to a girl.

I want Megan to be one.
calvin: apir! pareho tayo gusto ko rin makasama si megan.
I have such mixed feelings on this. I am happy that Megan, Jasmine, Anoop, and Matt made it in. They all deserved second chances. But VON SMITH? What were they thinking? He doesn’t appeal to the audience at all, plus his voice is over the top and annoying. And Jesse, OH NO. I mean, she’s okay, but other girls deserved it way more than Jesse’s over-confident ass. Like Mishavonna Henson or Ann Marie Boskovich. Ann Marie’s top 36 performance wasn’t outstanding, but she sang it well and her auditions and Hollywood performances were great. I also feel they should have given Jackie Tohn another chance-people love her, and not many people like Von or Jesse. And Tatiana? She’t got a nice voice, I’m not gonna lie, but she’s annoying as hell and might be one of the show’s most hated contestants ever. Bottom line-people like Ann Marie, Mishavonna, and Jackie deserved it more than Jesse or Von. Ricky Braddy is okay but he has no star appeal, he’s boring, and overall does not have the star package. I’m really disappointed.
Calvin: yeah I feel you. There are some poor choices here in the Wild Card round but it wouldn’t matter, 2 of the spots will go to Anoop and Matt. Tatiana was back to her annoying self last night and it’s really hard to watch Von perform with his large mouth and exaggerated facial expressions but he got a good voice if you’re just going to listen.
can the judges choose 3 boys? i’m rooting for anoop, matt and ricky braddy. i CANNOT stand jesse langseth! she reminds me of a red head angelina jolie but more annoying
calvin: it’s possible but there are too many boys on the show already that it may lose male viewers. hehehe. are you talking about tatiana?
it’s true that von smith is annoying but he has a voice that’s why he was included in the wild card. i agree with anoop and matt. but im hoping for ricky braddy… he was soo good and i think the main reason he didn’t get it was because he didn’t have enough air time. daya nga e. the people didn’t know him. it’s like he just showed up on the first group’s performance.
calvin: braddy is like another kris allen. I don’t think they’ll put him through.
hay naku… gusto ko na ishare sayo yung nangyari… unexpected. but at the last minute, na predict ko na… hehe… but you’re right about braddy.
hahaha. i know what you mean. i’m writing about it now.
