Ok, I saw Wednesday's episode, which was the first episode I had seen out of the last few. Can someone explain what happened after the group auditions? Did those that made it through perform twice more, or did they do 1 more solo performance and 2 cuts have been made since then?

Anyway, I haven't heard Jessica sing, really, but I liked her personality. Is she good?

I find Mario overrated, but I've only seen his performance in the group episode (he was all over the place there).

What happened to the kid whose mom passed out early on? I thought he was good, but I didn't see him in Wednesday's episode.

keening vocals and a song selection of tremulous grace,
thrills with authenticity and emotion..." - Entertainment Weekly
