American Idol Top 24 - Guys

Todrick Hall - 24 from Texas, writer/actor/dancer - "Since You Been Gone"
Different, a little too showy for me but he was a good performer. I do agree with Simon on the whole...he's a dancer that can kind of sing.

Aaron Kelly - 16 from Pennsylvania, high school student - "Here Comes Goodbye"
Karaoke-ish. I didn't like David Arch and I'm not a fan of Aaron either. It's something about high school guys. It could be his low self-confidence.

Jermaine Sellers - 27 from Illionis, church singer - "Get Here"
His voice is so high at times that it hurts my ears. He tries so hard to be soulful but is a screecher...

Tim Urban - 20 from Texas - "Apologize"
A little breathy at times but I actually like Tim even though the judges were a little harsh on him. I think the ladies will keep him around for a little while.

Joe Munoz - 20 from California, college student - "You and I Both"
I actually really liked Joe as a singer. He's no Danny Gokey but he has great stage presence and seems to be a really genuine guy.

Tyler Grady - 20 from Pennslyvania, college student - "American Woman"
Well if anyone does drugs on American Idol, I'd guess it was Tyler. I think he really wants to be a rocker/performer but I don't see him lasting too long.

Lee Dewyze - 23 from Illionis, paint sales - "Chasing Cars"
Lee might be my crush...okay who am i kidding? Lee IS my American Idol 2010 crush! He's rugged, he's raspy and he's definitely my type! HOLL to the ER! He's got some vocal work to do but hopefully he'll stick around just for me to lust after if nothing else. YEAH, I typed this then listened to the judges give bad reviews THEN SIMON GAVE HIM PRAISE!!! WHOO HOOO!!!

John Park - 21 from Illionis, college student - "God Bless The Child"
Boo. I liked John at times throughout Hollywood week but I'm not a fan anymore. He seemed really boring to me. The first performance that I fast forwarded through the last half of it.

Michael Lynche - 26 from Florida, personal trainer - "This Love"
I've loved Big Mike since I saw his first audition. He's definitely one of my favs and I love his attitude and spirit. He's definitely an entertainer. He has to make it into the Top 10 because I'm already looking forward to the concert!

Alex Lambert - 19 from Texas, high school student - "Wonderful World"
Is he trying to grow a mullet? He's a cute guy but the hair has got to go! I like his tone and the raspy voice once again but he's got some work to do.

Casey James - 27 from Texas, musician - "Heaven"
Love him! Super cute personality as well as just a cute guy overall. I like his voice and just about any guy with a guitar steals my heart.

Andrew Garcia - 24 from California, musician and dad - "Sugar We're Going Down"
I go back and forth on Andrew. I think he's really talented but it's hard for me to watch him at times. I think he's got great potential but he didn't impress me much tonight.

Here are my picks for the guys tonight. They are in top, middle, bottom but random once you get to those categories.

American Idol Top 24 - Girls

Paige Miles - 24 from Florida, preschool teacher - "It's All Right Now"
Too much "ooooohhhh" and "hhhhhaaaaa" for me. I do give her props for being the first one out. She started off okay. Simon thinks she's got the best voice but I'm not too sure!

Ashley Rodriguez - 22 from Mass., student - "Happy"
Very pretty girl. She was a little breathy into the mic. I love the Leona Lewis song but I think she tried to over-sing the song. I definitely think she can do better if she has the opportunity to stick around for a few more weeks.

Janell Wheeler - 24 from Florida, wine sales rep - "What About Love"
Bad song choice. Has potential. Not much else to say...

Lilly Scott - 20 from Colorado - "Fixing A Hole"
I really like her voice. She's definitely different but I can see her doing some pretty cool stuff with different songs.

Katelyn Epperly - 19 from Iowa, student - "Oh Darling"
I think she's super cute and has a voice I love. She's a little old-school and a little rocker rebel and a little country all wrapped up into one.

Haeley Vaughn - 16 from Colorado, high school student - "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
I loved Haeley in the beginning but tonight was just bad. She was screeching throughout the entire song. The outfit was bad. The guitar playing looked fake. Poor girl, I hope she gets a chance to redeem herself next week.

Lacey Brown - 24 from Texas, church event coordinator, second time in Hollywood - "Landslide"
I want to like Lacey but I just didn't. The pitch was up and down and it just didn't work for me. I liked parts of her performance then a second later it hurt my head! I think she couldn't have done much better with a different song.

Michelle Delamor - 22 from Florida, sales associate - "Fallin'"
Love the song, like Michelle. I've said this a lot but I think she's got great potential.

DiDi Benami - 23 from Tennessee, waitress - "The Way I Am"
Probably my favorite voice out of all the girls. Her voice is so natural. She wasn't perfect tonight but I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her.

Siobhan Magnus - 19 from Mass, glass blower (i didn't realize that was a real job) - "Wicked Gain"
It was actually a little scary for me. I've never actually liked the song so maybe it's just me.

Crystal Bowersox - 24 from Ohio, musician and mom - "Hand In My Pocket"
She's competing with DiDi for my favorite voice. She's also crazy talented with the guitar/harmonica duo. I like her carefree personality and spirit.

There's almost too many people to even begin to really talk about them in detail. i'll be able to write more as we get less people but here's to a beginning on American Idol 2010! These are in random order but I did put them in a top 6 and bottom 6.

Katie Stevens - 17 from Connecticut, high school student - "Feelin' Good"
She did well. She seemed like one of the most comfortable on the stage. She actually took the mic and moved around. I thought she did better than the judges did.

There's almost too many people to even begin to really talk about them in detail. i'll be able to write more as we get less people but here's to a beginning on American Idol 2010! I did rank them in a top 4, middle 4 and bottom 4 but within those categories it's all random. It's just the beginning so I still think anyone could go!
