Sounds like there may have been a last minute contestant swap. Tim Urban in and Chris Golightly out? Crazy, if true. He WAS in initially. We will see for sure in a couple of hours….
I thought I would bring the spoiler list to the top of the page, as by tonight we will see a few make it, and by tomorrow night, we will have all of the top 24 contestants revealed. (For those of you that follow my site, you already have had them revealed for weeks now, though, lol). Anyway, I would love to know who you think is nearly guaranteed a spot in the top 10, and who will be the first four to go?
My thinking is the ONLY contestant guarantee a spot in the top 10 at this point is Andrew Garcia. Yes, he wasn’t the only one pimped, but he has the goods to back it up. He is the only one that was talked about after Hollywood round one.
I think that there has been pretty equal time for most of the contestants this year, which is actually pretty refreshing. The only ones to receive little to no screen time up until this point are Michelle Delamor, Paige Miles, and Jose Munoz. Will this hurt their chances? Odds are, that yes, it will. Last year’s winner, Kris Allen got little screen time prior to the top 24, but was included in the most popular group last year, White Chocolate, in Hollywood. This had fans take notice. I would like to refrain from picking a bottom 4 until I see if they actually show all of the top 24 tonight. With a 2 hour spectacular, they have the time.
What are your thoughts?

Does anyone read these posts? Or do y’all just come here to chat? Am I wasting my time with the posts? Please Comment if you actually read this stuff
Yay I like Tim more than Orphan boy or whatever he likes to be called! I don’t think Tim will make it very far, but he’s a goodlooking guy with a nice voice. I just never really liked Chris.
Angela Martin was robbed this year..her last year.. She is MUCH more talented than quite a few of the girls who made it.. Haeley sounds AWFUL every time she sings and she makes it? Really… Angela would have made it pretty far if they actually would have put her in the top 24..she was likable and a great singer..
Oh, my heart with Angela…
she’s much much much better than Janell wheller..
why is there no sing off for them both..?
head to head since audition, Angela is way ahead…
I would have rather seen Thaddeus Johnson take Orphan’s spot. That kid has serious talent and was flawless throughout auditions. So sad to see him go.
