Following last night's Wild Card round on American Idol, a few of the finalists sat down with Entertainment Weekly.

They were were asked about the show's unexpected twist, as a baker's dozen now comprises the final round, as opposed to the typical number of 12 contestant vying for the top prize.

Here's what each had to say about the surprise:

Lil Rounds: I'm excited! I think we made a little history here tonight.

Danny Gokey: I think American Idol did it right. When it got down to [Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai], how the heck do you split those two people up?

Who is your favorite American Idol finalist?

Adam Lambert: I think it's really exciting, because I think both Anoop and Matt are incredibly talented, and I'm glad they're both part of the crew this year. It was a surprise - we had no idea. Our mouths just dropped open.

Matt Giraud: This is a bad bunch, man. Some of these cats are so talented. I'm just honored to be considered. That's how I feel right now.

Scott MacIntyre: That threw me for a loop. How are they going to fit that in the schedule? I'm waiting to find that out.
