DIVERSITY DAY: I say it often, but it's as true as a matter of both voting and talent this week -- none of the four people sent home tonight had yet demonstrated the talent sufficient to become The Next American Idol.

Next week, though, will be a bloodbath of democracy -- taking the pool from 16 down to 12 means each singer has only a 75% chance of survival, tough odds they won't see again until it's May and we're down to the final four.

In the meantime, we can debate the relative douchiness of Danny Gokey's unawaited return to the Idol stage versus twenty people lip-syncing "I Gotta Feeling" without the L'chaim!, and whether there's any possible pattern to these week's evictions.
