Introducing: The American Idol Final... 13!
Matt Richenthal at .American Idol didn't go the route of The Bachelor last night; no finalist was named, only to be replaced by a fellow contestant minutes later.
But the show did come up with a surprise for viewers: an additional singer was added to the customary dozen finalists.
Indeed, at the end of last night's Wild Card round, the judges - not the fans - decided that a trio of new finalists simply weren't enough.
There, Jasmine Murray, Megan Joy Corkrey, Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai were all named to the finals. They join the following crooners there:
- Alexis Grace
- Michael Sarver
- Danny Gokey
- Jorge Nunez
- Scott MacIntyre
- Lil Rounds
- Allison Iraheta
- Adam Lambert
- Kris Allen
Kris Allen and Megan Joy Corkrey are two of 13 - yes, 13! - American Idol finalists this season.
