It's American Idol Season Again



What do you think of the new judges panel? I for one loved them during the kinder, gentler auditions this season, but Steven and Jennifer are looking a little weak in the (semi) live judging. Randy, however seems to be stepping up to the Simon slot.


In any case this season's talent pool has been strong, as every blogger and commentator has pointed out. During last week's two sing -offs, I noticed something else about them. It was apparent to me in the performances of Robbie Rosen and Jacok Lusk, that the contestants are getting good advice. Bother of these over the top performers were nicely toned down. Jacob gave an especially beautiful performance.


Here are your AI 10 Top 13 with my very rough predictions:


Ashton Jones (13th place)
Casey Abrams (top 3)
Hailey Reinhart (11th place)
James Durbin (5th place)
Jacob Lusk (6th place)
Karen Rodriquez (10th place)
Lauren Alaina (top 3)
Naima Adedapo (12th place)
Paul McDonald (4th place)
Pia Toscano (8th place)
Scotty McCreery (7th place)
Stefano Langone (top 3)
Thia Megia (9th place)


That was alphabetical. Here they are in order of leaving:

Ashton Jones
Naima Adedapo (I love her, but America won't)
Haley Reinhart (so forgettable)
Karen Rodriquez (forgettable)
Thia Megia (a little freaky)
Pia Toscano
Scotty McGreery
Jacob Lusk
James Durbin
Paul McDonald
Lauren, Stefano, Casey (in no order yet)

I may be wrong about Pia, Scotty, and Stefano, under rating the first two and over rating the last. Here is a link to mj's big blog, the repository for all things AI, and her power list.
