‘American Idol’ Recap: Feb. 12 Highlights Semifinalists Revealed
While we don’t see full performances from our Top 30, we do see each of them sit down in a director’s chair facing the judges head-on in what looks the most stressful job interview on earth. It’s nice of the judges to take the time to speak with each hopeful individually, but we genuinely can’t imagine a more nightmarish scenario. At least when the judges keep it short and sweet, you know that the contestant has been cut; it’s when they tease them, slow down their speech, hedge, and cut to commercial that we know they’ve really made it. See: Spencer Lloyd.

We saw a number of contestants get cut because of their phenomenally bad decision to go with an original song. You guys. Don’t you know to give the people what they want? More covers of Adele! More covers of “Royals!” Males singing songs from female artists, like Maurice Townsend singing Miley Cyrus‘s “Wrecking Ball!” Females singing songs from male artists, like Austin Wolfe singing “Radioactive!”

But we digress.

The episode was fairly straightforward and progressed by rote, right up until Jessica Meuse and Jesse Roach were forced into an impromptu a capella sing-off for the judges; they were told that they were quite similar and that there could be only one. In the battle of Jess v. Jess, it went to Meuse.

Because the judges love to torture people, they had Leah Guerrero and Andrina Brogden interview together. Without even being given a chance to sing off against each other, the judges cut Leah. We’re not too sure why they would have made the choice to have them in the room together! It seemed super cruel.

American Idol ended on a cliffhanger with CJ Harris and Casey Thrasher sitting in front of the judges together. Given the opportunity to sing off against each other for a spot, they delivered some powerful off-the-cuff performances. We wonder who will make it! Our money’s on CJ we’re just not sure about the hype surrounding Casey!

Khloe Kardashian: Her Valentine’s Day Plans Revealed

Khloe is living proof that you don’t need a significant other to enjoy Valentine’s Day! The reality star knows exactly how she wants to spend the special day — and it doesn’t involve a guy, an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

2013 was a rough year for Khloe Kardashian, who took on much of the blame for her painful split from Lamar Odom. But now the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is “determined to find love again,” and she plans to celebrate Valentine’s Day by spending time with some special people and “treating herself like a princess.” Good for her!

Khloe Kardashian’s Valentine’s Day Plans — What She’s Doing Without Lamar Odom

Khloe is not letting her much publicized divorce from Lamar get the best of her! After being down in the dumps over her failed marriage, the reality star is now keeping her heart open for new possibilities.

Khloe Won’t Diss Lamar On ‘KUWTK’Take Our Poll

“Khloe is determined to find love again. She doesn’t want to stay in a negative place and is working on forgiving herself and Lamar for everything that went wrong,” a friend of the Kardashian family tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

“She still truly loves Lamar, and doesn’t regret getting married to him,” the source adds. “She is convinced that everything happens for a reason and that if she stays loving and open, she will meet the right person. She is just taking care of herself and spending quality time with family and the little ones.”

Khloe is also making Valentine’s Day plans. Nothing can stop her from turning her negative situation into something positive!

“For Valentine’s Day she wants to be with her family and close friends. Valentine’s for her is about love, not necessarily romantic love. She’s all about loving herself right now, and treating herself like a princess, instead of waiting for a guy to do it,” the friend says.

Way to go, Khloe!
