Last night new father Adam Brock from Washington, Pa., was crying in front of the judges as he awaited his fate. Tonight, he had tears of joy after being told he made it into the top 24. Make that many tears of joy. He welled up showing the judges a photo of his baby, then had more tears streaming while talking to his family back home.

Jeremy Rosado, 19, who auditioned in Savannah is up next. The judges gave him a standing ovation after his solo performance and then gave him the news that he made it into the top 24. “All throughout Hollywood week, I watched you,” said Jennifer Lopez. “You were always there cheering everyone on, and I thought 'what a nice boy.' ” It didn’t hurt that he delivered solid performances in group and solo rounds.
