Before season 12, Idol has been facing a lot of changes. After one year of judging, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler decided to end cooperation with the show but Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest stayed.
So, current season's judging panel consists of music manager Randy Jackson and singers: Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban. It's always bittersweet with those things. You like old 'gang' and know what to expect but on the other hand, it's fun to see and learn about new faces. Mariah and Nicki received most attention because of their disagreements but media forgot to mention how super awesome guy Keith is! You can see how passionate he is about music and how he's always grooving, smiling and moving. And he's so respectful and polite. Love him!
Another positive surprise. Nicki's comments. We know Nicki is got her own unique style and everything so many of us were a bit sceptical about her, but she does an amazing job! Her comments are on point, critical yet compassion and not too brutal. Meanwhile Mariah is always 'oh darlin' (with a fake fabulous british accent)... it got to the point where I was so annoyed by her that I stopped listening to her comments.
Moving on to contestants. Top twenty still coexist with half girls and half guys. I think that's just silly and Idol should change that. I know they want to have mixed company but on that note, someone better (girl or guy) is deprived of the opportunity.
It was clear from beginning that this year belongs to the girls! Since last girl (Jordin Sparks) won was 6 years ago so it's about time for some women power! And we've got, not only one but four amazing singers already! I think this top 4 is the best we've ever seen! I honestly have no idea which of those girls is going to win!
Top 3 should be known by now but because judges didn't used save vote, all 4 girls are still here. Next week two girls are going home and final two'll be revealed!

| Candice, Angie, Kree, Amber |
First we have 23 years old Candice Glover. Amazing open vocal. She can sing anything! I was quite surprised that she was in a bottom two this week but I'm sure she'll give it her all next week to redeem herself.

18 years old Angie Miller. I love her most because you know I'm a rock soul like her. Another amazing voice and I have no doubt in my mint that she'll rock on even when the show is done! Love her, I think she's got a lot to offer and she's artist already.

Kree Harrison. 22 years old girl from Texas who can sing country, pop, soul. Her presence is so beautiful and effortless. I think she's top as well, people conect with her and she's got a good chance to be in a final.

And 18 years old Amber Holcomb. She's grown the most through the show yet she's been in a bottom two a few times. I think she was the underdog throughout whole competition but fought her way back and I'm happy that she's still in the game. Last two weeks Amber looked confident and attacked big songs yet I've got a feeling that she's the next girl leaving Idol, because her votes are just not as high as they should be.

My fingers are crossed for Angie and I think she's got a good chance to win it! Which of these girls do YOU think is going to win? Amber, Candice, Kree or Angie?
