This week, the Top 24 remaining contestants performed on the American Idol stage. Some of it was surprisingly amazing! And some of it… we horrendous. Tonight, Ryan Seacrest will announce who is going on to the Top 12. Here are our picks. And ahead, we have a special GIF to remember those who hopefully won’t make it through…
OUR TOP 12 DREAM TEAM:
Ashthon Jones – Not our favorite but adorable and peppy.
Robbie Rosen – Anyone who looks like one of the Sweathogs from Welcome Back Kotter gets an automatic pass in our book.
Paul McDonald – Loved him in the bookshop in Notting Hill, still love him.
Pia Toscano – Kinda boring and bland but pretty and bland.
Brett Loewenstern – I would never deny myself the second-hand embarrassment that Bretty delivers in spades because I enjoy aural torture. (That sounds exactly as nasty as it should sound.)
Thia Megia – Wasn’t really a fan but enjoyed her performance last night.
Clint Jun Gamboa – He’s good. He’s a d*ck, but he’s good.
Jovany Barreto – He is also on my Top 12 list of men who should bear my children, but that’s because I want to give birth to a singing Italian seahorse.
Naima Adedapo – My favorite girl in the competition! Sob story and all, rooting for her. And loving those LSD tablecloth gowns.
Lauren Alaina – Note a huge fan, but she’ll definitely
Kendra Chantelle – She’s like a white Taylor Dayne!
Jacob Lusk – Do we even need to say anything??? JACOB LUSK NEEDS TO WIN THIS WHOLE THING BECAUSE HE IS A GIFT SENT TO US BY GOD IN A GIFT-BASKET FULL OF ANGELS.
See the eliminated up ahead with my reasonings… and let me know if you agree or disagree!
Karen Rodriguez – How do you say “Too much Latin flavor” in actual Latin?
Haley Reinhart – MY LEAST FAVORITE. I realllllllly dislike this girl.
Julie Zorrilla – Julie is very pretty. And if I were the casting director of Slumdog Millionaire 2, she’d have the job. But I’m not. And that isn’t even a real movie. Just don’t think she’s good enough for top 12.
Lauren Turner – Reminds me too much of me doing karaoke, and I don’t think I could take an entire season of that.
James Durbin – Oh dear. Listen, I respect the guy, he’s overcome a lot, etc. etc. But there is just no excuse that can justify his chimp screams for the show. Lambert would pepper a performance with maybe one or two, on top of fabulous vocals. This guy is just aight, and 100 percent chimp scream.
Rachel Zevita – I kind of love her because she’s so obviously insane. But there’s just no way
Scotty McCreery – Can’t even believe he’s gotten this far.
Stefano Langone – There can only be two hot beefy sausage rolls in this competition pal. Step aside.
Ta-Tynisa Wilson – While I love people with hyphens in their first name, sadly Ta-Tynisa
Tim Halperin – Sucks. Forgettable. Lincoln beard. The end.
Casey Abrams – Casey’s not the worst, but I just can’t see the highest kid from high school making it further than Top 24.
Jordan Dorsey – Handsome, charming, etc etc etc. Just not the best singer of the bunch.
So, what do you think? Any glaring problems here? Let me know in the comments! I know you will.
