Five Guys Sent Through To American Idol 2013 Top 20

Don’t let the above picture fool you. All of those guys were cut and sent home this week on American Idol 12! There were a stack of surprising cuts and eliminations during the Las Vegas Sudden Death round on Thursday night and it seems production is doing everything it can to send through the worst of the males to make cannon fodder for the girls. After all, it is the “year for a girl to win” blah blah blah that we’ve heard over and over as the guys continue to dominate the finales.

So while Johnny Keyser, Jimmy Smith, Kevin Harris, Chris Watson, and JDA were sent home on Thursday there were still five guys sent through to the American Idol 2013 Top 20. Here are their performances. Watch them again and see if you agree with the judges’ decisions or was it like Randy complained during the night, we’re forgetting about vocals and just going by performance.

Charlie Askew performs “Rocketman”

Curtis Finch Jr. performs “Superstar”

Devin Velez performs “Listen”

Elijah Liu performs “Talking to the Moon”

Paul Jolley performs “Tonight, I Wanna Cry”
