It’s the ciiiiiirrrrrrrcle of liiiiiiife! Yes, folks, as one player advances in TVLine.com’s American Idol All-Time Greatest Performance Bracket Tournament, another one is left for dead in a ditch (metaphorically speaking). And today, the brutal choices in front of you could make you want to crawl under the couch and turn to dust. Melinda vs. J.Hud? Allison vs. Carrie? It’s not right, and it’s not okay, but it’s the only way we can narrow our single-elimination, 64-player tourney down to eight quarterfinalists. (For the uninitiated, every day around 1:00 p.m. ET over the next few weeks, we’ll launch a new set of duels to the death, so be sure to keep coming back and making sure your favorites advance.)
