I was having a mix feeling with the result. There're actually quite a few of my favourites in this group, so it's kind of difficult for me to choose, but base on the performance on that night, I have to say the 3 who should go through are Alexis, Danny and Ricky. It is unfortunate that Ricky didn't go through, mainly because he had almost zero airtime during audition and Hollywood week, so audiences are not familiar with him, as compare to Michael. Anyway, I really really hope that he has a chance during the wildcard week cos seriously I think he is the best during that night's performance.
I also hope that Anoop gets a 2nd chance at the wildcard week, he is unique and he can actually sing quite well. Anyway, I think his chance of getting through is high because he has a huge, huge fanbase behind him.
