Okay, thanks

If you want to see who's in the top 25, to actually see what they look like go to americanidol.com, like dan i couldent wait. I have to say, i havent seen half of them before and i have been watching since the start.

I'll start watching this properly tonight I think, I don't like auditions on American Idol at all so I can't wait for tonight! I think I'll hold out and watch to see who gets through, it's gonna be a struggle though!

Supposedly some of the guys in the top 24 haven't even been shown singing yet.

[CassetteFinger]

Really, well thats not good for them then. It's usually the people who get no air time, which means they dont get a fan base till the top 25, which usually go in the top 25. I remeber sabrina last year, she was so much better than hayley yet she went in the top 16 and hayley got through but sabrina had no air time at all while hayley did. Thats what i think anyway, you need airtime to also get far.

So the live shows start next week, can't wait! I haven't really been watching it much so far, I can't get into the audition stages.

[CassetteFinger]

Im so glad Cat deeley aint doing it either this year. She ruined it last year.

[Wasted]

Yeah, her little slots were really pointless and ruined the flow of the show.

[Spike]

Yeah i'm glad Cat Deeley isn't doing it this year, she just spoilt it last year.

Totally agree, there's people who haven't even made the top 24 that got loads of air time.I know there's featured stories but it's a bit of a joke dedicating so much time to those people.

I'm really happy that Cat's not doing it this year,those little slots were just annoying and wasted far too much time.I only want to hear them sing and the judges comments.

[GiRTh]

I'm glad Cat isnt on it too.

My favourites so far are David Archuleta,Danny Noriega, Chikezie Eze,Ramiele Malubay,Brooke White and Asia’h Epperson

[Billy]

Mines are David A, Alaina Whitaker & Kady Malloy

[xDramatick]

From the girls, I like Kady Malloy, Ramiele Malubay, Amanda Overmyer, Carly Smithson and Alaina Whitaker.
I have to say that Ramiele is my favourite though.

From the boys, I like Colton Berry, David Cook, Michael Johns and Jason Yeager.
However, Michael Johns is by FAR my favourite from the guys.

I'm glad they got rid of that JeremiahJosiahJeremyJosephJohnJackJoanna whatever that guy's name was =|

[MarkWaldorf]

I missed a few shows. What happened to London and that woman with the ill daughter? I didn't see them in the top 12 girls.

Josiah seemed a bit of a mixed up kid.I would've liked to see him make the top 24 though.Some of his songs on myspace are really good.
