The wonderful Joes Place has begun compiling spoilers over at Joe’s Place Blog, and some Hollywood contestants have already been spoiled!
I have always been a spoiler addict. Just last season I remember seeing Crystal performing a cover of Ray Lamontagne before the season even started and I had an instant favorite. I’ve chosen 4 interesting contestants to highlight for now, but there is even more spoilage at joesplace!
Brandon Parsons
AI Experience winner. Has a very deep, powerful voice. Vocals remind me a bit of Eddie Vedder, but he seems to be more of a balladeer. He reminds me a bit of Clay Aiken, and if the AI stylists get a hold of him and polish him up like Clay he could go far.

I Pray- original song

Caleb Hawley
The dreaded WGWG!! This guy is actually pretty talented. He has a sweet sounding voice, but he might not have enough vocal power for the show. Excellent guitar player, and certainly has the look that could attract a large following
Other Side of It All-original song
I Wish- Stevie Wonder cover

A lot has been said so far from the judges and Nigel about the country voices this season. Meagan has a definite country sound, and the power and vocal control to do well on the show. She has a fairly versatile voice as well, as I could see her sing something jazzy, bluesy, or even some straight up pop like her Poker Face cover.

Sarina Joi Crow
One of the dreaded 15 year olds!! Definitely has one of the youngest sounding voices of anyone I’ve ever heard on idol, but it could have matured since these videos were taken. Good power but has control issues at times. Could blossom on the show, or flame out I think. She definitely seems bubbly and cute enough to make the show if her vocals hold up in Hollywood.
