    Well, it's actually gonna be Top 25, because another guy will be added for the 1st live show on Tuesday.
    In my opinion, this might be the most talented group that the show has ever assembled.
    Jen Hirsh & Joshua Ledet are 2 to watch, but there is just so much talent, that we'll just have to see how it all pans out.
    Because I'm partial to the ladies, these girls are already on my fav list: Shannon Magrane, Skylar Laine, Baylie Brown, Hallie Day & Jen Hirsh.
    But the guys also have some interesting characters to watch(and maybe root for): Creighton Fraker, Phillip Phillips, Reed Grimm, Heejun Han, Eben Franckewitz & Jeremy Rosado.
    There are also some contestants who may be a bit irritating, but I'll leave that alone for now. The whole thing should be fun though!:clap:


    The Top 24(minus the mystery guy)

    Joe Magrane was a MLB pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals & his daughter, Shannon, made the Top 24. Here's her audition, rather "awkward" at one point: Shannon Magrane's Audition

    There were some very good & not so good performances from the top 24. This is my prediction for the 13 who make it (I hope I'm wrong on a couple of 'em):
    (in no particular order)
    Elise Testone
    Brielle Von Hugel
    Hollie Cavanagh
    Jessica Sanchez
    Jen Hirsh
    Shannon Magrane
    Skylar Laine
    Phillip Phillips
    Deandre Brackensick
    Colton Dixon
    Joshua Ledet
    Jeremy Rosado
    Eben Franckewitz

    Ernest must be a pretty big guy to have a whole show taking place inside of him.

    Ok, shoot me, I misspelled "earnest"! That's what sometimes happens at 2:00 AM & you rush to get something done & go to sleep.
    On the plus side, I did get 10 out of 13 right in my predictions, happily wrong on Erica Van Pelt not making it, 'cause she did & rather shocked that Jen Hirsh didn't make it.

    Then perhaps we should shoot you instead of a half-assed attempt at a thread in 2:00 AM & you rush to get something done & go to sleep.

    My being a Christian, I won't give you a comment on your comment, but it seems to me that you need to go on your merry way. If there is no interest on this topic from people on this board, which there seems to be none, I could live with that.

    Yeah- American Idol is dumb and so is their audience. And for that matter, so is

    Ya, well, whatever. Have you ever watched it? It's a reality show, just like tons of the other ones on TV. It has produced many great performers through the years. By the way, from what I was told, the actor who played "Ernest"(who died recently), was actually a genius. So I was told.

    While I don't particularly enjoy the show I have to admit that it gives some people with real talent exposure that they may not have a chance of getting any other way.

    I enjoy listening to Kelly Clarkson. Jennifer Hudson has an amazing voice. I didn't even know that Katherine McPhee from the new TV series "Smash" was a former contestant, but I've been amazed by her voice, and I'm not particularly a county music fan, but I can't deny Carrie Underwood's talent either.

    Well compared to you, Ernest is a genius. But that does not change the fact that the show is dumb.

    Oooh a personal insult! I'm soo offended! Maybe I should go cry to a Mod? Nah, that's alright, I'd rather be considered dumb than classless.

    Oh, I get it now (see you're right, I'm not all that bright), you're a Bill Maher wanna be! Advice - don't quit your day job.

    I have no plans to quit my day job- I get overpaid to do nothing all day in my own office. Think I'll go look up some porn now.

    Josh Ledet is from the town I live in. I wish him luck in winning the show,but really I could care less. My wife watches the show,but it's just not my cup of tea.

    I think Josh Ledet is one of the most promising contestants on the show. If he (hopefully) progresses, he could do very well, maybe even winning it.
