Damn You Matt Metzger
Matt being part of American Idol is forcing Erin and me to learn entirely too much about this show.
We both watched the show last night and found out how wrong we were about the process. Matt was not one of the final eight. He was one of the final 32. So only two of the eight Matt was in were chosen to go on to the next round. And then they do that again three more times to decide on a final eight. Matt was not one of the two chosen by viewers to go on to the next round. He let a sixteen year old beat him.
But wait! There’s more!
As Stephanie has patiently explained to my n00bish self, there are “wild cards”. After the top eight are chosen over the next 3 weeks, the judges pick eight more people to perform one more time. From those chosen eight, the judges nominate four to join the other eight, making a new top twelve. Sheesh!
So Matt’s not finished. The judges seem to like him, and Steph thinks he’ll make it to the top twelve. And she’s an expert, so listen to her.
Now I have to talk about this all again in four weeks when Matt (maybe) comes back on the show.
