double snap!
I loved the last guy, the guy with dreads, and the cute 17 year old that just smiles. As you can see, I am HORRIBLE with names...
Have to agree those two seemed like the best.
Danny Noriega has made the votefortheworst.com list. So I guess he is the one they are going to try to keep as long as possible to make fun of.
They actually like him! They are pulling for Ramiele and Danny.
AMERICAN IDOL - IDOLBEAT
Alex Lushington, Our Local American Idol (Relatively Speaking!)
We have 3 American Idol contestants from the state of Florida this year. Pretty good odds for an idol to be from Florida! Robbie Carrico calls Melbourne home, Syesha Mercado and Ramiele Malubay are from the Miami area. But Douglasville, Georgia is actually the closest to the Panhandle (5 hours!) and that is where Alexandrea Lushington hails from. If you recall, I met her at the Atlanta Auditions and made a prediction she would be in the top 24!
At 16, she is the youngest of the contestants. She has had the least amount of camera time of all the girls shown on American Idol. Why? The answer could be because she is being kept a secret, the way Jordin was kept under cover in the early part of the season last year, she is just there as a non-threatening distraction to the chosen one or she is the least TV Reality Show Star Material!
Before you make your guess, let me fill you in on her background. She started singing in her grandfathers church at the age of 2! She appeared as an Apollo Kid at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. She performed on Showtime at the Apollo and on Star Search when she was 11. Not only is she an accomplished singer but she plays the piano too.
Give up? Me too! You will have to wait and find out with the rest of the 30 million viewers! Here are the top 24 American Idol contestants of Season 7:
Top 12 Girls:
Amy Davis: Former swim suit model from Indiana this years Haley.
Amanda Overmeyer: Respiratory nurse also from Indiana. Said to be the rocker girl.
Ramiele Malubay: From Miramar, Florida. A Filipino powerhouse in a little package!
Joanne Borgella: Another pretty model, for plus size women. Won a contest called Mo Niques Fat Chance.
Kristy Lee Cook: One of several contestants who have had a failed record deal. She is the most athletic of the group.
Kady Malloy: Has had some indie success with Amie Street (she was the one who did the Britney Spears imitation.)
Alexandrea Lushington: A young Melinda Doolittle, who is only 16! Was on Star Search when she was 11. Hails from Douglasville, Georgia.
Brooke White: Carole King made hip! Plays keyboard, also has a couple of cds. Calls Arizona home.
Alaina Whitaker: a 16 year old who thinks she is the next Carrie Underwood!
Syesha Mercado: From Florida, she has been in many commercials and was on the show The One.
Carly Smithson: From Ireland originally, has had a major record deal, which flopped. Has been said she is The Chosen One by American Idol to win.
Asiah Epperson: Her father passed away right before her audition. Has a rich, breathy voice.
Top 12 Guys:
David Cook: One of the many rocker guys this season, from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
ColtonBerry: A theater guy expect high drama!
Robbie Carrico: From Melbourne, Florida, his claim to fame is that he was in the boy band Boyz-N-Girls United. Former boyfriend of Britney Spears.
Garrett Haley: 17, Ohio native, Leif Garrett and Peter Frampton rolled into one, said to have a high pitched voice.
Jason Yeager: Was on the show Making the Band. His mom is a Gospel singer.
Luke Menard: An acappella singer in the band Chapter 6. Orlando Bloom look-a-like.
David Hernandez: Has nice range the Rudy Cardenas of Season 7, from Arizona.
Michael Johns: 29, one of the favored ones! Has had a record deal, played in the band the Rising and comes from the land down under!
Chikeze Eze: Only African American guy, from California. Loves Soap Operas and admires Michael Jacksons moves, and voice.
David Archuleta: 17, Winner of Star Search when he was 12, from Salt Lake City.
Jason Castro: Dreadlocks! One of several guys who havent had any camera time yet.

The dreadlocks kid was my favorite. Definitely marketable. And I hope to god they do NOT try to make him over.
Vote for the worst or not...straightner hair boy is a big favorite at Sam's school.
I guess they didn't have that quaint Mother/daughter chat by the flaming fireplace.
