Tonight is the big night we will finally meet the American Idol Top 12 (6 girls and 6 guys). Unfortunately it’s the end of the dream for other four contestants – two girls and two guys – who will be voted off the competition on the results show Thursday night (March 11).

So who is going to get the boot tonight?? It’s a tough call! The competition is even tougher for the guys but based on performance and popularity, we think Aaron Kelly and Alex Lambert will be sent packing. They are both super cute and they have amazing voices but they failed to deliver memorable performances. The same can be said about dark horse Lee Dewyze.

The girls who should be saying goodbye to the competition tonight are Paige Miles and Lacey Brown. Why? Paige had two horrible performances in the past couple of weeks. Even through, the judges say she has the best voice, Paige was not able to show she has what it takes. While Lacey has a sweet voice but we don’t want two singers who sound exactly the same in the Top 12. So we want to keep Didi Benami!

Unfortunately, I think Katie Stevens is probably going to be voted off instead of Lacey because the judges have been way too harsh with her. The standards were set way too high for Katie and Andrew Garcia and they are cracking under the pressure. We want to keep them! They are the most talented of the Top 24.
