Tyler is just an exact copycat of the overrated Justin Guarini. He has a huge fanbase of teen and tween girls and will knock out a lot of deserving people.

Shutup, go home. I personally think he’s a badass.
Quote
Is Charity in the top 24? Some sites have her listed as top 24. Yours shows her cut in 48/50. Which is right?
Quote
Oh dear! Vanessa Wolfe,where are U?

Quote
OMG!!!! Jennifer Hirsh was cut!!!! I loved her 10 seconds of audition so much I looked her up on Youtube and found the full song!! I can’t believe she was cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quote
I’m seeing only 8 girls in the top 24. Who are girls # 9,10,11,12? ANd When’ll we know? I thot hollywood wk was done yesterday!
Quote
JP, can you please clarify the situation on Ben Honeycutt? At IDF they are saying that his status is not confirmed. Do you know anything?
Quote
It is confirmed. He is in top 24.
Quote
We don’t just pull names out of hats. We need to try to figure it out. it takes time.
Quote
Thanks ever so! ^_^
Quote
Thanks jp. appreciate everything ur doin
Quote
MJ’sBigBlog has a link to Joe’s. Rickey.org has a link to Joe’s. Idolbloglive.com has a link to Joe’s. Even those nasty fiends at VFTW have a link to Joe’s. I guess we know who’s in charge this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if MasterClassLady herself was lurking here too! Kudos Joe’s Place. This was the best Idol site last season, and people remember.
Quote
Joe, have you heard anything about Mallorie Haley? I hope she makes it.
Quote
I have not heard anything about Mallorie Haley…yet.
Quote
Mallorie has been cut.
Quote
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quote
Joe,
Thanks for all you are doing! I see you removed Maddy Curtis from the top 24 – is that because it is unconfirmed, or because she was cut – thanks so much!
Quote
Just don’t have enough proof, yet.
Quote
Thanks for letting me know!
Quote
Now it says Maddy Curtis was cut in Hollywood. Can you confirm this?
Quote
What does it mean by “Cut at top 50/chairs”?
Quote
i was wondering if it has been confirmed weather or not Jeffrey David goldford was eliminated…if so thats crap he is awsome
Quote
The “Chair” episode is where the top 50 go to the mansion and ride up the elevator one at a time, sit in the wooden chair and are told if they made the top[ 24 or not. It is the Chair episode, or the Green Mile episode.
Quote
Yes. She was cut on Wed. of Hollywood week. Her Mom was passing some false rumors, but I can now confirm that she was cut.
Quote
So is Ben Honeycutt confirmed or not?
Quote
Ok, thanks for confirming that. : )
Quote
any info about Jessica Furney getting the boot or making it in the top 24
Quote
She was cut in Hollywood
Quote
thanks for confirmin joe
i was rooting for her =( oh well
Quote
haven’t been following spoilers that much this year, so sorry if the answer to this question is obvious~, but did leneshe not make it to hollywood this year? i don’t see her listed.
Quote
It’s a shame that Luke Shaffer was cut. After hearing his awesome songs on his Myspace page and then listening to the links of Aaron Kelly and Michael Lynche, I think a mistake was made by the judges
Quote
What Is the difference between being cut at top 50/chairs, or being cut at just top 50? does chairs mean they did a sing off? and does cut at top 50 mean they were cut directly in the judges mansion? wht is the differance? Im so sad Carmen and Angela are out. how could the judges do that to poor Angela again? Have they no heart?
Quote
Didn’t Cody Sheldon (from season
make it to Hollywood this year? I know he didn’t make it to the top 24, but he made it at least to Hollywood. So, shouldn’t his name be up there?
Quote
There is a mistake on John Park’s myspace. That is not his myspace, but another John Park’s (a rapper).
Quote
Cody Sheldon did NOT make it to Hollywood this year.
Quote
Two names i was looking out for this year are Jamar Rogers and Lenesha Young.
could have sworn i saw a pic or something of Jamar trying out this year- any news on either of them?
Quote
sad to see michael castro gone again
Quote
Jamar dropped out of the competition right before going to see the judges.
Quote
Sorry jp to nag you, but could u plz answer the question i posted on this page? thx!!!
Quote
AZZ, it is the same thing. Some people call it the top 50, some call it chairs, and some call it the Green Mile. It is all the same.
Quote
Maddie Penrose is a Senior at Murray High School and lives in Murray. Cut at Green Mile.
Quote
i thought joe munoz was rumored to be in the top 24
Quote
i thought joe munoz was rumored to be in the top 24
Quote
He is. Joe Munoz is Jose Munoz
Quote
This states that Michael Lynche has been cut from the Top 24 because his father told a local newspaper that his son was in the top 24 which was a breach of contract where contestants and their families are not to tell anyone until the show airs. Link:

What’s the latest update on Savannah Low?
Quote
Ashley Anderson: Here’s the top 24: http://www.joesplaceblog.com/american-idol-9-contestant-listing/
Quote
yipee!
Quote
I “hope” you’re wrong as I do not see Hope Johnson anywhere on your lists and she definately was selected to Hollywood and should have gone through to at least the top 50 in my opinion.
Quote
I’m never wrong…lol. Jk, but the top 24 is 100% confirmed and correct
Quote
sure sorry Derek Klena appears to have been cut and wasn’t even shown! Seen him on stage and he is awsome.
Quote
I am SOOOO happy that Mary Powers didn’t make it. That idiot was incredibly grating. She just wanted to control everybody. She thought because she was older she had some “in” with the judges and the older crowd. She loved to hear herself talk and really poured it on thick for the cameras. She just came across bitchy and loud…and while I know it’s a show that is set up by producers, where there’s smoke there’s fire. Just like I didn’t fall for the whole “humble” story of Katharine McPhee. The producers couldn’t hide her snobby “I’m to good to even bother trying” crap. I’m not really into this season, but after watching Mary Powers’ audition I just followed along to watch her fall. Glorious.
