Dade Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Courtesy of: ZAP2IT 'American Idol': Top 24 contestants leaked By Andrea Reiher January 18, 2010 7:26 AM "American Idol's" Hollywood Week is essentially over -- which means the Top 24 has been chosen. Do not keep reading if you don't want to be spoiled because most names have leaked. Between Joe's Place blog, Vote for the Worst and MJ's Big Blog, it seems there are 20 of the Top 24 out there already, all of the boys and eight of the girls. We've only seen a few of the Top 24 so far, but the ones we have seen have their audition city after their names (Ben Honeycutt we may not have actually seen in Atlanta, but that's where he auditioned). Top 24 Boys Lee DeWyze David Duke Andrew Garcia Christopher "Chris" Golightly Tyler Grady (Boston) Benjamin Honeycutt (Atlanta) Casey James Aaron Kelly Alexander Lambert Michael Lynche John Park Jermaine Sellers (Atlanta) Girls Lacey Brown Michelle Delamor Katelyn Epperly Ashley Rodriguez (Boston) Lillian "Lilly" Scott Katie Stevens (Boston) Haeley Vaughn Janell Wheeler What do you guys think? We're frankly surprised Tyler Grady is in the Top 24 and we're disappointed not to see Mallorie Haley's name in the girls column, though she still could be since that's not the complete list. It's exciting to watch the auditions now, knowing who to look out for, right? ........................................... Will be interesting to see if this is correct or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotbb9 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks for the info! I wish I could remember the names of the people I liked from last week's shows. This list will be way more useful to me in Hollywood week. ETA: I remembered the guy who I liked more than anyone else that auditioned! (male or female) Tyler Grady...I really, really loved him and his audition. I will for sure be voting for him and I hope he makes it to the finals.

itsnotbb9 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Tyler and Katelyn are my favorites so far. I kinda think Ashley is already over-rated. (no offense, King!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuskie Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 There is one interesting top 24 twist I have heard - one of the 24 you did not see during auditions. That is because they will be the first AI contestant to compete live without having to go through the audition process. Out of all the Disney's Hollywood Studios guests to win the daily American Idol Experience, this person was the one chosen to bypass auditions and proceed directly to Hollywood. Fuskie Who notes this was the first year of the American Idol Experience so it will be interesting to see how the other 23 Idol wannabees treat this person...

Fuskie Who notes this was the first year of the American Idol Experience so it will be interesting to see how the other 23 Idol wannabees treat this person... Interesting! I hadn't heard that. I thought they were picking one person to bypass the lines and first auditions to proceed directly to Randy, Simon and Kara's audition but that they still had to try out for them to make it to Hollywood (which would pretty much seem to be a foregone conclusion anyway!). It will be interesting to see which one it is. Will have to do more digging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeCiMom Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Doesn't make sense to me. Why would they would disqualify someone for a confidentiality agreement when the information was already out there? Heck, kayo was able to post about most of the final 24 back on the 22nd.

Fuskie Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well, I reserve the right to have the details wrong - it was a year ago that I read the story - but we will see. I would think that if it was just to bypass the screening process, we would have seen it or had it mentioned during this stage of the auditions. I guess some of us will be surprised. :-) Fuskie Who notes the guy was booted from the top 24 because the father was quoted by the local newspaper, which confirmed and lent legitimacy to the rumors...

kayo Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Who notes the guy was booted from the top 24 because the father was quoted by the local newspaper, which confirmed and lent legitimacy to the rumors... Yes, Fuskie is right. The difference is that the father personally confirmed that his son was in the top 24. The other spoilers were probably based on friends or family telling friends, telling friends who posted it online, with no way to find the original person who leaked the info. AND family members not backing up the rumored info to the local newspaper! Waaay stupid to do and it really is too bad for him. I'm sure his dad probably didn't know the stipulations and feels terrible about it now. Regarding the list posted- I've updated and changed it a few times because a few of the "spoilers" turned out to be false (Ben) and at least one of them got the last name of the person wrong.

itsnotbb9 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I am so happy to see Andrew Garcia's name on that list! I thought his audition last night was the best of the night. I also saw a couple of his videos on youtube and I think he's really good, I hope he makes Top 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsnotbb9 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I totally agree- love his voice...and his kid is a cutie too! He is cute, isn't he? I really love his style and the way he dresses. And I didn't even notice at the time but he's from Moreno Valley, Ca - which is where I went to high school; that totally gave me more reason to root for him now.
