FOX's "American Idol" (Season 16)

[remake]

I really hope Lauren Gray comes back next year.

Not happy Heejun was put through! Can't stand his singing. You can clearly hear his accent while he sings and I find it irritating. I think they only put him through for diversity and comic relief. Clearly not for singing talent, but that's just my opinion.

I'm happy that Heejun is through. I thought the black guy (don't remember his name) was horrible. Why'd he get through? Yawn.

Phillip Phillips
Heejun Han
Joshua Ledet
Reed Grimm
Colton Dixon

So far no one that I have liked has gotten cut either which is a good thing. Lets see how tomorrow goes and I can round out my personal favorites. Got Em!!

I can see why you like Phillip, Reed and Colton their style is very similar to that guy you liked on X-Factor though I would say they are all better singers than he was.

I think Jen Hirsch is also pretty good though I can see her making an early exit like Pia did. I also like Shannon Magrane.

[remake]

LIKES:

Hollie Cavanagh
Shannon Magrane
Baylie Brown
Chelsea Sorrell
Phillip Phillips

SHOULD BE VOTED OFF FIRST:

Brielle Von Hugel
Creighton Fraker
Joshua Ledet

I disagree! I think he is a great singer and one of my favorites. Got Em!!

Ummm which dude from X-Factor are u talking about? Maybe u are talking about Josh Kracjik? If so I can see it a little bit. Kracjik has way more soul than these guys though and Im not so sure that they are all better singers than he was either. Got Em!!

Not Josh Kracjik, the guy who sang the homey what ya trippin on song, can't remember his name. He was your favorite. The guys I mentioned all have that slight soul, pop vibe.

I wouldnt say that Colton has that type of style as he seems more of a rocker/pop rock but maybe the other two. Phillip Phillips however sings much deeper than Chris Rene with that growl type style. I do want to hear them sing more and singing full live songs will give us a better idea of what kind of singers they really are. Got Em!!

AMERICAN IDOL HERE ARE THE TOP 24 - YouTube

They're bringing back ANOTHER guy but NOT another FEMALE? I f#cking hate this show. They just want another male to win.

I think this is the first season where I like all but one girl in the Top 12. I could care less about the guys. Hope they all go home.

WE NEED ANOTHER FEMALE WINNER THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was the big shock they kept advertising in the previews?

I disagree. I think the guys are much better than the girls. That doesnt mean a girl cant win but overall I feel the guys are stronger. Rounding out my list of favorites include DeAndre Brackensick. Dont have a girl favorite but that could change as last year I hated Haley at first but then loved her after a couple of live performances. I think either Jermaine Jones or Johnny Keyser will get chosen for the final 13. Got Em!!

It's definitely Johnny Keyser. There's no other reason he'd be with that group of 3 who made the Top 40.

If a male wins for the fifth year in a row, I say get rid of J. Lo and add another male judge so they all can pick and favor the girls. Well, I don't know about Randy Jackson's sexuality, it looks like he gets a little too excited sometimes when certain guys sing.

The funny thing is wouldnt that be messed up if Keyser makes it and he couldnt even get past group round and didnt have to perform a final song by the water? I think they made a mistake letting him go so early though so I can dig it. Got Em!!

If they bring him back they should bring Lauren Gray back. I bet the stupid judges will use their save on a male contestant this year. I'm calling it now.

As far as the girls go I don't really have a favorite at the moment. But for the guys there are so many that I like. My favorites in no particular order are:

Adam Brock (aka white chocolate)
Creighton Fraker
Deandre Brackensick (aka the lost Debarge)
Reed Grimm (this dude may be the most talented, but is not the best singer)
Joshua Ledet
Phillip Phillips (fun to watch)
Heejun Han

I totally agree with you Czar. As I stated earlier, there are so many guys that IMHO right now appear to be stronger than the girls. Don't get me wrong, there are strong female singers in the group but it is just hard to really identify who the favorite(s) are. It's just an opinion...

As for DeAndre Brackensick, I don't remember him from last year but unless he messed up in the final qualifying song, he should have made the top 24 a year ago. That dude has a great voice.

Man u really got sumthin against guy singer dont u? I treat them equally. I just go by talent. I couldnt careless if a male or female wins as along as its someone that deserves it. I think the judges will use their save on the first artist that deserves it whether it be male or female. Got Em!!

Yea there are some talented females but I cant find a favorite either. Leaning towards Skylar and maybe Jessica Sanchez. Well see how it goes. As for DeAndre he is a beast and maybe did deserve a spot last year but the talent was through the roof last year so its understandable. Got Em!!

Oh, I wasn't sure if that was it since it didn't sound that exciting to me I thought in the preview they had sounds of people screaming sounded like someone was hurt/fainting or something or got into a big fight. I thought I heard Randy freaking out and stuff.
