RJ Helton Advances In ‘American Idol’ Wild Card

RJ Helton was last night’s wild card that moved on to the finals in ‘American Idol’. Helton definitely showed the most improvement from his previous performance, though is likely a longshot to move very far in the competition. From here on in, all ‘America Idol’ episodes will air live. Two contestants will get the boot each week. Given how it is nearly impossible for a solo male pop star to have much success in the U.S., if Simon Cowell is smart, look for him to steer the voters to send Tamyra Gray and Christina Christian to battle it out in the finals.
