Comments on: Spoilers/Rumors – List of the Top 24 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/spoilersrumors-list-of-the-top-24.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Soapbox0916 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/spoilersrumors-list-of-the-top-24.htm/comment-page-3/#comment-97572 Soapbox0916 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:29:30 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/spoilersrumors-list-of-the-top-24.htm#comment-97572 Purplesmile, it is only my personal speculation that a potential name confusion of a kind of unusual name such as Colton combined with several other factors would be a reason for cutting someone. I am guessing that if Swon was indeed cut, I am also guessing that he would be borderline, and that several small things combined could make a difference. It is only my speculation. I realize that there are three Davids in the spoiler, but David is a common name, and TPTB must have liked them enough to compensate for that. For instance, Kim Caldwell and K-Lo looked nothing alike. "Chris Rich" and Chris Sligh looked very different from one another. I personally would have no trouble telling apart the Coltons, but I am speculating TPTB would think the casual viewer would be confused. Not enough of a reason by itself, but I think it could have been a contributing factor.

The only other time in AI history that I have been this bummed about a contestant not making the semi-finals was in Season 3 when George Huff did not make the original semi-finals and from what I have heard, he was not an original alternate either. I think it is the only time that I actually contacted AI to complain, and I complained that Huff should have been in the semi-finals. I know I was not the only complaining either. Then the next thing I knew, a semi-finalist got kicked out due to being arrested (I think), and Huff was his replacement. Huff wound up being the last man in competition and fifth overall that year. I was right about Huff that year and I believe I am right about Swon too. TPTB have messed up before.

So I will post what was in my local paper today and from friends.....He is an 18 year old from Fishersville, Virginia with an acting/musical background. He audutioned in Charleston and was only showned receiving his "golden ticket" at the end of the show.

No one stands out from the pack. I know there pimping this season like it's the best season ever, but last season there were some memorable auditions, when I saw the top 24 list, I remembered everyone. I still a little apprehensive about this group, once the top 24 sing live for the first time, I think people's opinion about this season is going to change fast and wheres the diversity in this group, oh I forgot they aren't doing that anymore.
