Bunny: Many are saying we have the most impressive Top 24 on American Idol yet. Without looking back specifically at each season to compare, I would have to agree it’s pretty strong.
And now it’s time to go on record with some top 12 predictions. We’ve listed below those we’d like to see in that group. As the performance shows begin next week, we’ll be posting our predictions of who will go home, and who should go home. However, since we haven’t seen some of the top 24 in the early rounds at all, it’s impossible to do that at this point.
That said, here's who I'd like to see in the top 12:
Guys:
David Archuleta
Robbie Carrico
David Cook
Chikezie Eze
David Hernandez
Michael Johns
Girls:
Kristy Lee Cook
Asia’h Epperson
Ramiele Malubay
Syesha Mercado
Carly Smithson
Brooke White
I will admit that my choices for the guys are heavily biased toward those we’ve seen or heard from already. In other words, I’ve listed no men whom we don’t know at least something about! I’m sure this list would be different if I were making it after we saw them all perform. In the case of the girls, some got more screen time than others, but we’ve seen all of them at least briefly.
Burke: It looks to me like it’s a strong year for the girls, but that could change. Here is my desired top 12:
Guys:
Robbie Carrico
Chikezie Eze
David Hernandez
Michael Johns
Luke Menard
Jason Yeager
Girls:
Joanne Borgella
Asia’h Epperson
Ramiele Malubay
Syesha Mercado
Carly Smithson
Brooke White
Bunny: It looks like you are a proponent of minimal confusion, since you’ve eliminated two of the Davids and one of the Jasons.
Burke: That wasn’t my plan, but since it worked out that way, less confusion is always good!
Bunny: Here are the Prognosticats, carefully contemplating their choices, which are old folded-up business cards, each with a contestant’s name.
Prognosticats: We, unfettered by having to consider such crucial criteria as singing ability and face time, predict that the following will be the American Idol Top 12. And we want that tuna now.
Guys:
Colton Berry
Jason Castro
Michael Johns
Luke Menard
Danny Noriega
Jason Yeager
Girls:
Amy Davis
Asia’h Epperson
Kady Malloy
Syesha Mercado
Amanda Overmyer
Carly Smithson
Bunny: We’ll meet you in front of the TV on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. Eastern for the first performance show!
