The "American Idol" Top 13 have been announced. America got it right! We are going to have an action-packed season. With the the new Wild Card, judges brought back six singers to sing one last time. The guys and girls sang amazingly, making this the hardest decision yet. The final outcome made a huge impact on the "Idol" stage.

The evening started with Ryan Seacrest letting a few girls and guy know that they were safe. Scotty McCreery was our first guy to make his way to the couch (Way to go Scotty). As the night continued, we were reminded how well the contestants did this week. Hopefully, America got the guys and gals we wanted (Did your favorites make it?).

There is something so diverse about Americans' votes. People may vote for the same person but their reasons could be completely different. The same can be said for why people choose not to vote for any of the contestants. At the end, we watch as America gets her say.

After America's votes came in tonight, the guys and gals who were left were at the mercy of the judges. Six contestants got the chance to sing again, but in the end, the judges chose their favorites.

Our "American Idol" Season 10 Guys are: Casey Abrams, James Durbin, Jacob Lusk, Scotty McCreery, and Paul McDonald. Stefano Langone is the Wild Card (Way to go!)
