So, who are they? What are my opinions on them? Who am I definitely going to be pulling for from the start? Read and find out...
Okay, that was a really over-the-top Ryan Seacrest thing to say. I guess I'll organize it alphabetically by first name, since that seems easiest.
Adam Lasher
I honestly cannot remember a thing about this dude. Probably not a good sign....
Amelia Eisenhauer
The ninja fiddler. She's funny, can sing well, and connects well with fans. She's one of my favorites.
Avalon Young
Entertaining klutzy tomboy waitress with a pretty good voice, but not quite superstar level.
CJ Johnson
He's pretty good(as he should be, being a professional musician), but he's not that "final Idol" great. He's actually just kind of boring.
Dalton Rapattoni
Dallas chill-rocker dude; part of Chicken Noodle Soup's feud with Envy on Group Night. One of the guys who has a real shot at winning.
Emily Brooke
Blonde teen with a pretty good voice, but there's simply too many talented teenagers for them all to get through. She'll probably miss that cut.
Gianna Isabella
Her mom was a pop star in the 80's and is now micromanaging every aspect of her daughter's career. If Mom would just leave, she might have a chance. Unless that happens, I don't think she'll get very far.
James VIII
Someone please explain how he even got to Hollywood, much less this far.
Jeneve Rose Mitchell
She's this year's Casey Abrams; you have no idea what she's going to do beforehand, or even while she's onstage, but after it's over you shake your head in puzzlement and say, "That.....was bizarre. But it kinda worked. I don't think I really liked it much, but I want to see more." Besides, you don't see people play cello while singing very often, especially if they're remixed country hits.
Jenn Blosil
Still too....whatever indefinable character traits to follow; all the way since auditions.
Jenna Renae
She's a little boring and forgettable, but her voice is good, and she plays piano well. She's just not instantly-recognizable; which is a big problem at this juncture of the competition.
Jordan Sasser
I don't quite understand what the judges see in this guy.
Kory Wheeler
His voice is all right, but he's just so forgettable...
LaPorsha Renae
Her hair is AWFUL. Her voice isn't very pleasant to listen to. At all. But she'll likely get black votes.
Lee Jean
One of this season's friendly teens, of which there's a lot. His style is laid-back, but really interesting. Definitely one of the top guys this season.
MacKenzie Bourg
Poor guy's got to be getting all kinds of teased about his name. Mostly known for his medley of judges' songs during auditions.
Manny Torres
Funny dude. Has a decent voice; may get a good ways through because of his personality.
Olivia Rox
She just has stage presence. That's hard to judge or quantify, but she has it. She looks comfortable performing and has fun doing it. And she can sing and play guitar! Really hoping she does well.
Shelbie Z
Annoying. Talkative. Strong-willed. Can't sing well enough to justify everything else.
Sonika Vaid
Really loved her audition, but the Group Night antics as part of Envy took major points away.
Stephany Negrete
I don't really remember her at all, but she was part of the group Envy, so that's not a good sign.
Thomas Stringfellow
His voice is awful, but there's an unusual quality to his performances that's interesting enough that he got this far. Might get the female teenage voting bloc, if Mackenzie doesn't.
Trent Harmon
The R&B farmer who caught mono during Hollywood Week. Hoping he does well.
Tristan McIntosh
Funny, awkward teenager from Nashville; she and Amelia go to the same high school. Known from auditions as the military daughter; she does well at interacting with fans, too.
Of the guys, I want Dalton, Lee Jean, Mackenzie and Trent to do well, of the girls, I'm cheering for Amelia, Avalon, Jenna, Jeneve, Olivia and Tristan.
