My Top 24

So tonight's American Idol was a "cliff-hanger". Will JLo stand and deliver (the bad news)? Who will make the top 24? Was that really Bono's little brother as a guest contributor? I'll add in tonight's commentary in a different color...

Here are my predictions for the top 24:
Boys:

1. Tim Halpern
2. James Durban
3. Jacob Lusk
4. Jovany Bareto
5. Jun Bug Gamboa (one right!)
6. John Wayne (sad to see him leave)
7. Colton Dixon (what! they're crazy!)
8. Chris Medina (one wrong!)
9. Robbie Rosen
10. Paul McDonald (another one right!)
11. Scotty
12. Jerome B or Jordan D. (we'll call it a 1/2 point)

Girls: this was much more difficult. I really only got to 8, then just added a few odd guesses.

1. Lauren T.
2. Pia Toscana
3. Haley Reinhart
4. Julie Zorilla
5. LaKeisha (nope!)
6. Ashton Jones (yep!)
7. Lauren Alaina
8. Thia Megia
9. Sophia Sorai (not even considered)
10. Hollie (nope!)
11. Naiema (yep!)
12. Young dark, curly-haired girl that's like 16. (that was Rachel Zorita)

Stay tuned tomorrow to see how I did...Then I'll predict my top 3 boys and girls.

So the only real upset for me was Colton Dixon. Maybe he's just a little too much like Chris Allen that won last year and they're looking for more "variety". I hope he comes back next year and blows them all away! But hey, I did okayand guessed 17 1/2 out of 24 correctly. 73%

My early faves (top 3 boys and girls)...

Tim Halperin, Robbie Rosen and Paul McDonald (in that order)

Julie Zorilla, Ashton Jones and Lauren Alaina (also in that order).

We'll see in the weeks to come how my choices pan out!
