Top 12 Predictions
Here are my complete top 12 predictions:
Guys: Chris Sligh Sanjaya Malakar Chris Richardson Brandon Rogers Phil Stacey Sundance Head Women: Melinda Doolittle Lakisha Jones Jordin Sparks Antontella Barba Stephanie Edwards Leslie Hunt Somehow I think Glockson is just too mediocre. I think I'm just being hopeful though and I expect Edwards won't make it . Stacey I think is a darkhorse but ok for some reason his price is much higher on WSEX than I would have guessed. Blake Lewis might make it, I just don't know how good he is. If he finds a way to sing hip, fun songs that also incorporate some of his beatboxing in a positive way, I think he has a great shot to advance. Here are the ones who have very little chance to make the top 12: Paul Kim (not good) Rudy Cardenas (also not very good) AJ Tabaldo (actually thought he was ok in his short clip and reminds me a bit of RJ Helton from season 1, but don't see him being good enough to overcome his lack of cameratime) Nicole Tranquillo (lol, probably +ev bet that she goes in the first week) Sabrina Sloan (sacrificial lamb) Alaina Alexander (see above) Anyway these are just my opinions. I think Jared has outside chance to make top 24 depending on some things. I mean if Gideon wasn't such a freak weirdo last year he would have made it for certain, and Jared sounds very good and is definitely not seeming like a freak weirdo. Also I really like Nicholas Pedro but feel that he has no chance. I hope Sundance doesn't make it, I just don't like him very much, and also felt his "bodyguard" comment at the end of the last show was in very poor taste. But he's one of those "different interesting guys" that make it even if they have a subpar week or two, aka Scott Savol. Below are my mortal locks to make the top 12: Chris Sligh Lakisha Jones Melinda Doolittle and I personally believe Sanjaya Malakar will make it for sure, but the above 3 I think are well over 90%. Not so certain about anyone else really. Anyway that's all, everyone else respond or post your own opinions on final 12 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: Top 12 Predictions
I've never bet on this before but I've been watching all the audition tapes and researching on the forums and here is my top 12 in order of confidence...
Guys: Chris Sligh Brandon Rogers Sanjaya Malakar Sundance Head (he's from the SOUTH) Jared Cotter Richardson Not to sure on the last 2, I think Cotter will be a big surprise and I was split on Richardson/Lewis for 6th because Richardson seems to have a decent following on the idolforums... EDIT: Blake Lewis has the highest # of posts in his name. Girls: Melinda Doolittle Lakisha Jones Antonella Barba Gina Glocksen Amy Krebs Alaina Alexander (Although many ppl have her going out early Simon really loved her in her first audition and I've read that she was sick during hollywood week so that may account for her voice) I agree with curtains that Sligh Jones and Doolittle are virtual locks for the top 12 but I think Sanjaya and Rogers are close behind... |

Re: Top 12 Predictions
If I had to pick now:
Sundance Sanjaya Blake Chris S. Chris R. Brandon Lakisha Melinda Antonella Jordin Leslie Nicole [ QUOTE ] Somehow I think Glockson is just too mediocre. [/ QUOTE ] Interesting thing about her that I recently read is she tried out twice THIS YEAR. First time she didn't even make it to Hollywood, then she travelled to another city and now she's in the Top 24. I agree I think she's just average and her personality bugs me for some reason. |

Re: Top 12 Predictions
Chris Sligh
Sanjaya Sundance Brandon Rogers Blake Nic Pedro Doolittle Lakisha Stephanie Edwards Gina Glockson Haley Scarnato Amy Krebs With the females I am largely going just on singing talent, but I wouldn't be surprised to see others get through initially on looks and some aspect of their personality that might come out. When I get past the top 6 or 7 contenders it is hard to predict who among the herd will shine and capture people's hearts. The first to go in my opinion will be: AJ Phil Rudy & Paul Leslie Alaina Nicole & Jordin |

Here are my complete top 12 predictions: Guys: Chris Sligh Sanjaya Malakar Chris Richardson Brandon Rogers Phil Stacey Sundance Head Women: Melinda Doolittle Lakisha Jones Jordin Sparks Antontella Barba Stephanie Edwards Leslie Hunt [/ QUOTE ] These were exactly my picks as well. I think Phil Stacey, Jordin Sparks, Leslie Hunt, and Stephanie Edwards have good value right now, if not to win, at least to sell later for some profit.

[/ QUOTE ] In addition to this, it is also her third year trying out. She bugs me as well. I bought a little for value but plan to sell it off in a couple weeks. Although I am not a fan of hers, I have to admit that I absolutely loved the song she sang when they showed her clip in Hollywood. That said, I think she has talent but just isn't consistent. |

Re: Top 12 Predictions
I think Gina might end up annoying the audience and lose her chance at widespread support.

Re: Top 12 Predictions
I'm also reading that they might throw in a twist and do a Top 13 this year instead of 12. It would be unbalanced (extra spot would be a wildcard) but in a way it makes sense if they can get an extra week out of this competition for ratings and extra money from sponsors, etc. Who knows???

Re: Top 12 Predictions
The only locks on the male side IMO are Sligh and Sundance to make the top6 in men.
Sundance even though he sucked at Hollywood, knows how to play a crowd well and will get votes. On the woman only Barba and Doolittle are locks for the top 6 |

Richardson Sligh Stacey Malakar Head Cotter could sneak in, but I seriously doubt it. Barba Scarnato Sparks Jones Not Alexander/Glocksen Not Alexander/Glocksen |
