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….

    Devon Jones made it past round 1 in L.A. There is a video of it on Fox 11 L.A.

    That Devon kid is a plant as well I beleive. He has the same vocal coach as David Archuleta and apparently he was “referred” to Idol from this guy. I think he was probably sequestered or something. We’ll see how far he gets. He’s got the whole “from rags to riches” story line. Eliza Siep is FOR SURE a plant on the show. Her look, sound, story was saught after by the producers for some time now. I’d be surprised if we don’t see her in hollywood / hell week. and Jamar Rogers is of course on the show again, even though he wasn’t as good as he thinks he is. He just might win this year. Looks like they are going for more R&B artists and Indie / London sounds. l.e. adele, duffy.

    Hey I think there going to try to have a girl win it this year
