Alexis Grace is in the TOP 12

Alexis Grace is the only female contestant to have made it to the top twelve last night. Not really a shocker when you consider how she was the judges' darling the night before. However it's awful to see all those talented singers being eliminated in a single week after they've been through all that struggle and media hype in Hollywood. Couldn't the producers let us enjoy our favorites for a few more weeks before the inevitably headed home?
Alexis Grace sang Never Loved a man by Aretha Franklin. You can watch the video of her performance below. The judges loved it.



I remember Alexis from her audition. She's the mother of a young child, a baby rather and he fiancé is away. He's in the Army but not in Iraq or Afghanistan. She was only 19 when she audition so I'm guessing her fiancé is not much older than she is. For some reason I can't stop thinking about Juno...

Anoop Desai for example has entire web sites dedicated to him, you can even read his thesis online and see photos and videos of his pre-idol performances. Likewise, Tatiana del Toro had a really huge fan base of people who like the drama that she brings to the show. It turns out that she can actually sing and that's why she made it to the top 36. But who's going to bring the drama now that she's gone?

So Alexis Grace apparently listened to the judges advice and dirtied up a bit to land a place in the top 12. As long as she's not the first one eliminated from it. I wonder if she did also take Kara's advice to go and have sex with her fiancé. Actually, no, I don't need to know that...

Since this year has been labeled the year of the guys, read the year of the white guys, I wonder which female will outlast them all and land at least in the top 3? Many people who used to be labeled as contenders like Ann Marie Boskovitch or even Jackie Thon, the crazy lady are now gone! Maybe it's going to be Taylor Vaifanua, the judge's teen crush for season 8.

Others to join Alexis are Michael Sarver and Danny Gokey. Nine more contestants will be joining them in the following weeks.
