After the “Hollywood Week” and Las Vegas performance rounds, “Idol” judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler narrowed the field from 42 contestants to 24 semifinalists on Wednesday’s installment of the Fox singing competition, but they apparently cut too many.
At the end of the episode, “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest revealed in a voiceover that “the judges felt compelled to reinstate another guy.” He teased that either Jermaine Jones, Johnny Keyser, Richie Law or David Leathers Jr. would be among the male semifinalists next week.
“You did a great job, and you got so far,” Lopez told a weeping Jones after he was dismissed on a stage surrounded by bubbling water at the Wynn Las Vegas resort.
The semifinalists unveiled Wednesday were: Deandre Brackensick, Adam Brock, Hollie Cavanaugh, Hallie Day, Eben Franckewitz, Skylar Laine, Chase Likens, Shannon Magrane, Aaron Marcellus and Jeremy Rosado.
The semifinalists announced Tuesday were: Baylie Brown, Colton Dixon, Creighton Fraker, Reed Grimm, Heejun Han, Jen Hirsh, Haley Johnsen, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez, Chelsea Sorrell, Elise Testone, Erika Van Pelt and Brielle Von Hugel.

American Idol Season 11 top 25

"The Voice" amps up the star power for Season 2
(Reuters) - The stars of television singing contest "The Voice" on Friday promised more celebrity and top talent in their upcoming season as they compete fiercely with rival "American Idol," the most-viewed program on TV.
"It is a very tired format," Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, one of the program's star mentors, said about singing contests, "but in a way, this is a very fresh way of doing it."
The show grew into a surprise hit for television network NBC in 2011 with a format in which the panel of stars -- Levine, Christina Aguilera, country singer Blake Shelton and hip-hop star Cee Lo Green -- also take on contestants as their proteges and help them as the compete against others.
For season two, which premieres on February 5 and will compete for viewers with "American Idol," the show's producers added new celebrities who will work as advisors with the star mentors.
Levine will be joined by Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke, Green will have Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Ne-Yo, Aguilera will get assists from Jewel and Lionel Richie while Shelton recruited wife Miranda Lambert and Kelly Clarkson for his team.
"I chose Miranda and Kelly because they both survived reality television shows," Shelton told reporters at an annual gathering of TV critics. "I just wanted somebody who could talk to them (the contestants) about what they were going through."
While "The Voice" became a surprise hit for NBC, executive producer Mark Burnett admitted it may not have lived up to some of its early forecasts.
Last year's winner Javier Colon released an album, "Come Through For You," which peaked at No. 134 on the Billboard 200 album chart, not reaching the success of early "Idol" winners such as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.
"We can't control the record industry, it's impossible," said Levine, "People are going to go through what they go through, some of it's going to be positive, some negative. You can't be there every single step of the way."
Despite Colon's inability to reach the top of pop music charts, the judges said they were confident they could find the next big talent on the new season of "The Voice."
"I trust the show more than I trust the record industry at this point," said Levine.

Maasinhon Trio takes on controversies
MANILA, Philippines – Less than a week after being declared “Pilipinas Got Talent 3” winners, Andrew Sanchez, Licinio Lolo and Bonifacio Salubre a.k.a.the Maasinhon Trio find themselves at the receiving end of criticisms.
Asked to address this issue, Lolo told Bulletin Entertainment and other members of the media in an interview on Thursday, “Para sa amin, siguro opinyon nila yun. Sa amin naman, kasi marami namang sumusuporta sa amin. Alam namin ‘yon. Kasi sa amin alam namin na todo-suporta ang mga tao sa amin [sa Southern Leyte].” He also maintained, “yung 12 finalists po [ay] deserving lahat yun eh.”
For his part, Salubre said, “Sa ‘min lang yung feeling namin siguro [yung mga nag-comment against us ay] mga supporters ‘to sa kabila.”
On people’s comment that “PGT” should change their title to “Pilipinas Got Singing Talent” – given that singers have been declared from the first season up to now – Lolo replied, laughing, “Hindi naman namin kasalanan yun eh.”
Also present during the interview was business unit head for TV production Alou Almaden, who stressed that "PGT" winners have always been determined by the most number of text and online votes.
“We didn’t miss naman on reminding the people it’s texting and online voting. The grand winner will be based on the total number of text votes. Every gap yun eh, the hosts and the judges [say it]. So it’s really up to the public. If they favor somebody, they really just have to vote,” she said, adding that she’s “proud” of all the finalists.
“So it’s really up to the public, the voting public, kasi may ‘public’ na magco-comment lang eh pero hindi naman boboto ‘di ba? Sinong gusto niyong ilagay? Saka it’s the rule eh worldwide. Nobody’s exempted, no country is exempted to that rule na text and online [voting] lang talaga ‘to.
“So given all these elements, yung public talaga… kailangang irespeto eh, ‘di ba, whatever the outcome is,” Almaden explained.
In another part of the interview, she mentioned, “But again it’s not enough that you comment or you scream. You have to vote.”
The TV exec also offered her personal take on the “Pilipinas Got Singing Talent” comment.
“Kasi ang Pinoy… when we talk of talent kasi sa Pilipinas, mostly singing eh ‘di ba? Kasi how do we compare dun sa mga acrobats, sa mga gymnastics… Aminin ko talaga what the other contestants did na non-singing, talagang amaze na amaze ako. And they’re not professionals,” said she, but also opined that the talent of Filipinos in other aspects are evolving.
“Kasi yung industriya, ano nga naman ang venue for other talents outside singing or acting? Wala tayong masyadong venue eh,” she added.
On the same evening of the “PGT 3” finals night, one of its hosts Luis Manzano posted on his Twitter account that finalist El Gamma Penumbre “will always be my grand winner fr[om] season 3.” Asked to react on this, Almaden said, “As a unit head, probably I would not have agreed [with what Luis did], pero he has always been like that. He has been consistent from day one, very outspoken talaga.
“Again ano, for everyone who made their comments on social networks or kung saan man, I respect all your comments and all your take. Even that of Luis, probably. Pero kasi Twitter is a personal ano rin naman talaga eh. And Luis, from day one [and] even long before ‘PGT,’ talaga namang nagga-ganyan siya eh. Personality na niya yun,” she explained.
The Maasinhon Trio are also being compared to the APO Hiking Society, but Salubre said, “Iba sila eh. Talagang magagaling sila.”
Lolo shared this sentiment, adding, "Siguro kasi trio [rin] naman kami eh. Kaya na-compare kami. Pero ang APO, para sa amin, idol na idol namin sila. Talented talaga [sila].”
The Maasinhon Trio are set to return on Monday to Leyte where a victory party will be held to celebrate their triumph. Almaden said that part of the trio’s contact is to make an album, but she’s yet to discuss this aspect with Sony Music. Sony apparently handles all the winners of the "Got Talent" franchise.
Meanwhile, the trio expressed willingness to settle in Manila for good should the opportunity to further their singing career here arises.
