By Gil Kaufman Haeley Vaughn on “American Idol” on Thursday Photo: Fox In some ways, the first two weeks of this year’s “American Idol” semifinals have felt a lot like an extension of the brutal Hollywood Week: a painful but necessary mass culling of the herd in order to get to the good stuff. Four more singers went down Thursday night (March 4), including Michelle Delamor, Jermaine Sellers, Haeley Vaughn and John Park.

It was unclear until the show aired whether the recently hospitalized singer would even make it to the show. By James Montgomery Crystal Bowersox on “American Idol” on Wednesday Photo: Fox A day after she was hospitalized with what “American Idol” producers would only describe as “medical issues” and after a full day of drama about whether she’d even show up for Wednesday night’s (March 3) “Idol” telecast , Crystal Bowersox not only performed, she brought the house down. And, in the process, she may have established herself as the girl to beat in season nine. At the opening of the show, as host Ryan Seacrest was introducing the 10 remaining female contestants, he paused, put his arm around Bowersox and asked her how she was feeling.

But booted contestant wasn’t planning to change for them either: ‘I probably would’ve just stuck to my guns.’ By Katie Byrne Tyler Grady on “American Idol” Photo: Fox While Tyler Grady made a lasting impression with his retro “American Idol” audition in Boston, he virtually went missing from the stage during Hollywood Week. That disappearing act might have marked the end for the 20-year-old from Nazareth, Pennsylvania — who was kicked off “Idol” on Thursday along with Ashley Rodriguez , Janell Wheeler and Joe Muñoz . Before he reprised his performance of the Guess Who’s “American Woman,” he had some choice words for the judges: “I like all the judges, and I’ve really had a great time with them, but I feel like I didn’t really get much constructive criticism during Hollywood Week, and what they told me was a little too late.” When we caught up with him Friday (February 26), Grady defended those controversial comments and his ’70s-rocker style.

Season-nine semifinalists’ rocky live debut has ‘Idol’ experts and fans concerned. By Gil Kaufman Tim Urban Photo: FOX The early semifinal rounds of “American Idol” are always difficult. You are bound to have some early hopefuls falling victim to first-time-on-TV jitters, a few dark horses soaring before an eventual crash and a handful of singers proving they were lucky to have gotten there in the first place. But after the first two nights of mostly panned performance, veteran “Idol” watchers woke up Thursday (February 25) wondering, “Is this the worst top 24 ever?” The answer is easy for Dave Della Terza, webmaster of the long-running “Idol”-bashing blog VoteForTheWorst.com , which encourages “Idol” watchers to purposely stuff the box with votes for the weakest contestants.
