American Idol, The Day After: Vegas Rounds, Night 3 Dish

By | Reality Rocks – Thu, Feb 28, 2013 5:46 PM EST

Last night, 10 more of this season's "American Idol" girls competed in Vegas, and let's face it: Zoanette Johnson stole the show. I am sure there are many people out there who hated on her wild Lion King tour de force, but my "The Day After" co-host Matt Whitfield and I were not among the haters. We loved Zoanette.

We also loved many other girls' Vegas performances last night...but unfortunately, due to this show's infuriating gender quotas and an uneven division of talent between last night's crop and the contestants who competed last week, some real strong contenders had to go home way too early. (Jett Hermano, cough.)

Watch us talk about all this and more, and feel free to weigh in with your own opinions in the comments section below. And all hail the Lion Queen!
