Eleven semi-finalists were revealed on tonight’s show: Michael Simeon, Loren Lott, Adam Ezegelian, Lovey James, Adanna Duru, Clark Beckham, Daniel Seavey, Tyanna Jones, Rayvon Owen, Shannon Berthiaume, and Jax. Above is the number of positive versus negative tweets posted about these contestants tonight.
Adam Ezegelian is by far the most controversial pick, with only a 57% overall sentiment and a high number of negative opinions (roughly 25% of tweets were negative). The frizzy hair, schlub-cum-rocker sang “Here I Go Again”, and it was not overwhelmingly popular:
Adam? Seriously? Remember that rocker who won last year? Where is he? #idol @JLo @HarryConnickJR @KeithUrban

Yeah I’m still not sold on Adam E. #idol — Rebekah (@hanson_gurl) February 19, 2015
But clearly not everyone thought so
Okay I adore the top 24 so far. Basically perfection. @Jax @AdamEzegelian @ClarkBeckham @shaeberthiaume @lorensharice @michaelsimeon

Clark Beckham, who I thought was pretty good, seemed to be unpopular by the numbers, with 60% overall sentiment and about 19% negative tweets:
I feel like Clark is trying to be Phillip Phillips 2.0. but it doesn’t really work #idol — Stacey (@youreahater) February 14, 2015
However, I think sentiment-determining algorithm was tricked a little, by tweets like this:
I LOVE CLARK I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM PUNCH ME IN THE FACE BECAUSE I CAN’T HANDLE IT #idol

I wouldn’t worry about Clark at this point.
On the girl’s side, Lovey James was not a hit at all:
Lovey is doing too much to the wrong song. #Idol — Stevie not Steebie (@StevieSoFetch_) February 19, 2015
I’m sorry but Lovey’s voice was like nails on a chalkboard to me #Idol

At 60% overall sentiment, and almost 20% negative tweets, I’m not sure the judges made the right pick. Adanna Daru was much more popular, but still seems to suffer from a low number of people talking about her.
@yestvcanada yes she’s good! i felt every single word of that song!! #idolonyes @adannaduru
