We just watched American Idol Season 8 first performance night and honestly, it was a disappointment. We had high hopes for our faves in the first group but they didn't give any memorable performances.

The American Idol Top 36 contestants were grouped into 3, each singing weekly. Only 3 of them will get through each week - 1 girl and boy with the highest votes, then, 1 more based on the # of votes. The last 3 will be picked from the Wildcard round. Interesting, huh?

Well, scroll down if you want to know who got eliminated on the first performance night of American Idol.

Group 1

Alexis Grace did pretty well. She was the only female who got positive comments from the judges. We loved her, too.
I think Ann Marie did good, too. But it wasn't enough to get her through... for now.
Casey, Jackie and Stevie sucked. Really. What were they thinking?!
Tatiana was lovely! But she's all demure, which I was kinda expecting. Me and Mai were disappointed to see that side of her 'coz we miss the crazy Tatiana. Yeah, I know. That is even crazier.

The guys did way better than the gurls. Anoop was so lovable! Me and Mai were watching him sing "Angel of Mine" like we're teenage girls drooling over Sanjaya. Okay, not a good comparison but, hey, Mai has a big crush on Anoop. Well... hope he makes it to the Wildcard round. Oopss.
Brent was... wait, did he perform? Who is he? Yeah, forgettable.
Danny Gokey - no surprise there. He was last to perform and he did well. I was kinda on the edge of my seat 'coz he sang "Hero" by Mariah Carey. I'm like, David Cook the 2nd?! Yeah, kinda looked like he was trying to be like David, which made me a li'l irritated.
Michael Sarver is one of my faves but I don't know why he chose to sing a song ("I Don't Want To Be") like that when he's supposed to show off his vocals. Argh. Made me root for Anoop this time.
Ricky was surprisingly okay. Didn't see him featured during the auditions but he was actually good... but no personality.
Stephen made another mistake. Never choose a Michael Jackson song if you can't sing like him. Sheesh. They never learn.

THE VERDICT
You wanna know the results of last night's votes?
(After the jump...)

So, Alexis Grace is in, along with Michael Sarver and Danny Gokey.
No surprises there. Well, I would've wanted Anoop to get through over Michael but he was just beaten by 20,00 votes.

I hope Anoop makes it to the Wildcard round and he joins the Final 12.
Or Mai will throw a fit... hehehe.

Here are next week's performers:

I'm not really expecting anything great from this group but we'll see. I think a guy will win again this season.
