Top 24 Revealed!

Here we go.

Adam Brock is in. And he's very, VERY emotional about it. Like, uncomfortably emotional. Also, three words he used to describe what he has to do in life. "I have to sing." Either that's fuzzy math or he's actually saying "I hafta sing."

Jeremy Rosado (the big young kid that Jenny from the Block said was a nice kid) should definitely be through. And he is. I'm happy about that. I like when they seem to be genuinely nice.

Shannon Magrane (the tall girl with baseball dad) will probably go through. I don't know. She may have overstayed her welcome. She has a pretty voice and is pretty (which shouldn't matter, but does), but I don't really see her being able to do a lot of variety. She's through. And she does some kind of crazy dance with all of her limbs.

Scott Dangerfield, who apparently auditioned last year and then pulled himself out. He was obviously not memorable this year because this is the first I've seen of him. He's not in this year and is kind of rude about it. "It is what it is." Well, of course it is what is. If it wasn't what it is, it wouldn't be what it is. Of course that depends on what your definition of "it" is.

Rejection pile.

Skylar Lane (the girl that reminds the judges of Reba) is up. I like her. She's not the best performer I've ever seen, but she seems to have a lot of potential. She's through. She'll be interesting to watch.

Hallie Day is in (the girl with white blonde hair)

Chase Likens (I have nothing distinguishing sorry) is in.

Aaron Marcellus (black guy with horn rim glasses) is in.

DeAndre Brackensick (the guy with looooooong blonde girly hair), he reminds me of Jason Castro. And Paul just said the same thing without having read what I typed. HA! DeAndre Makemesick is his new name. And he's in. Paul vetoes that name. We'll see.

Jermaine Jones (gentle giant) is awesome. He's so sweet and gentle and good-natured. His voice is unique, and perhaps too unique for Idol. Because Idol tends to spew out pop bubble-gum superstars. Minus Ms. Underwood of course. Randy tells him he's the most different artist they've had in a while, but he's too uniquely talented so he's going home. This has got to be the saddest elimination on American Idol. Jermaine is just so sad.

Ariel Sprague (little black girl), Shelby Tweeten (nondescript blonde), Hollie Cavanagh (girl with white blond hair). Incidentally, Hollie auditioned last year, cried her way into Hollywood and then got eliminated somewhere along the way. But no one is mentioning that. Strange. Out of those three, I would take Ariel. But the other two are fine too. Hollie is in. Cool. I guess.

The last two contestants are Eben (Justin Bieber's little brother) and David Leathers (the "17" year old kid). So either way Annoying will be in. Eben is in. His new name is Jebenieber.

So that's it.

HAHAHA! Paul is doing his favorites and just paused on Creighton. He said, "I don't know anything about him, but I think he's going to win. He fits the profile." The profile: white guy with a guitar. I will say, the odds are against the girls winning. Again.

Oh good! They're going to add another guy back in to make a top 13. The choices are Jermaine, The Cowboy, Johnny Keyser, and David Leathers. My guess is it's actually between Jermaine and David. I for one will be praying that the Cowboy will never be heard from again.
