Here is a little roundup of your 8 wild card contestants tonight:
1. Ricky Braddy, the guy who nobody had ever heard of before the first group of 12 performed. He arguably had the best performance of the night but fell by the wayside (probably due to his lack of screen time up to that point).
2. Megan Corkrey, the cute single mom with tats running down her arm. She did an impeccable imitation of Bjork singing "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" (that's right, dat) in her first audition.
Check out Bjork's version here (press play on Track 16):
Megan (she jumps around the song, but check out the 2nd verse):
3. Tatiana Nicole Del Toro
, who is psycho. It's my opinion that she was only asked back so that we can watch her get rejected and break down on live TV one last time.
4. Anoop Desai , the kid from NC who everyone freaked out about when he didn't make the Top 12 from Group 1.
5. Matt Giraud, the "bluesy" singer who Paula and Kara love but did an absolutely horrible version of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" in Group 2.
Sorry about the bad video:
6. Jesse Langseth, the giant-mouthed girl from MN whose been busted for a DUI and loves songs from the early 80s.
7. Jasmine Murray, who was Miss Mississippi Outstanding Teen in 2007 and did a horrible job with "Love Song" in Week 1 despite the judges' extremely high hopes.
8. Von Smith, the internet singing sensation who was just booted from Group 3 despite the decent rendition of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell duet.
Thoughts? Predictions?

YES! Thanks for that lovely side-by-side comparison of Nathaniel and crazy stalker. They are one in the same!
"He likes food and dreams and whispers... his favorite movie is Short Circuit... and Fried Green Tomatoes."
All I have to say is that Lil Rounds is going to win and you could serve dinner for eight on her behind--which makes me her biggest fan!
How dare you say that my girlfriend, Jesse (who I think is super annoying, but super talented) has a big mouth. I mean, have you seen Von sing? And you think Jesse's mouth is big. How dare you.
Death to Tatiana.
Jesse's mouth is this big.
Tatiana... really... that's all i can say...
Von Smith has a giant mouth!
You are not kidding!!!!!!
Jesse has a huge mouth!!!
This is far and away the best American Idol episode in weeks.
will - i totally agree - this has been a great episode, especially the part where tatiana looked as though she was about to crap her pants during her interview.
There is a conspiracy afoot. Anoop might be loveable, but he did not have one of the 3 best performances tonight. And yet, it feels like it's a lock he'll be going through.
Uh oh. We're going to have to figure out how to work this.
i am ecstatic. for once i feel like the judges got it all right. let's all do the corkrey!!!
Matty, I was just talking about the enormity of Von's mouth. I couldn't agree more. And for such a little head...
I am a little annoyed that the judges are changing the rules mid-race and making it the final 13....but thank GOD Tatiana is done!
Tatiana is out? Oh no!!! Now I'll have to rethink this. Maybe N Mitchell?
