No one this season so far.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I noticed that in this top 12, everyone fits into some type of category &#8212; the R&#038;B\/diva singers (LaToya, Jennifer, Fantasia), the pop stars (Diana, Jasmine, Camile, Leah), and then the rest. It totally seems like the judges want to manipulate the audience into voting for a certain &#8220;type&#8221; of performer. <\/p>\n<p>I do think it&#8217;s cool that 2 filipinos made it into the top 12 though.
