Yes, that's my son http://www.usatoday.com/story/idolchatter/2013/02/07/american-idol-solo-round-semifinalist-guys/1900769/

Thursday, American Idol cut 43 hopeful guys down to 20 semifinalists.

Wait, make that 28.

A last-minute twist on the Thursday's episode revealed that the last semifinalist cuts won't be made until next week, after the women have had their turn in the spotlight.

But we've seen a few that we can say are probably safe.

Chief among them: Charlie Askew, the wild-haired, self-admittedly socially awkward kid, who seems to be the kind of quirky fast learner that thrives in the early performance rounds each year. Askew gave a self-effacing intro to his version of Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know, then showed a level of poise and presence that turns awkward kids into stars. And when Nicki Minaj started talking to him, he didn't sound awkward at all. 

Charlie is pretty freaking awesome. Seriously, how you don't just explode out of pride is beyond me Smiley

You don't need to watch live unless you want to vote, and voting will begin in March...

Hmm...If one were to read into this, one might surmise that Charlie has made it into the final 12.

I'll just leave it at that, as I wouldn't want to get you into trouble now. Smiley

Yes, that's my son He told me they forgot to feed them *again* since early that morning. He blames low blood sugar on what he called a sub-par performance; shaking, etc... They cut about a minute of him working the crowd after his song - just as Randy Jackson looked down and started talking, Charlie turned his back and got the crowd engaged again to which the judge replied to his back "ok, soak it in...". Good grief, he told me that after tonight he doesn't care what the judges think since it's up for public votes from this point forward. He's on a mission, like Bilbo or something... What a fun man he has become, and he emulates Freddie Mercury's showmanship, as you can easily see. Smiley

Yes, that's my son @JohnAskew: Stage presence isn't something that's easily come by, and he's got it. A lot of the performers on these shows are obviously not sure what to do with their body in front of an audience, but he's a natural.

It's annoying to hear somebody like Randy ragging on the showmanship, but that's mostly because record exec types don't like performers who are better on stage. They prefer performers who's talent can be captured entirely in audio and distilled into an album blurb.

When the season ends, we need a C9 interview. Tongue Out

That's a 100k summer job an 18 year old. Help a young musician singer out... Wink I just wish he'd been able to play his Stratocaster and wear his rainbow psychedelic bell-bottoms.
