Hey -- it's K.C.!  I made some predictions before the Hollywood rounds began!  Tonight the 24 finalists were revealed.  Let's see how I did in my predictions!  I just scrolled through Monday's predictions and noted if the contestant was a finalist or gone!

Here we go:

From Philly:  I loved Chris Watson!  He was the really cute African-American guy with dreds.  He sang "Follow Me."   GONE!   Also loved Brooke White!  The nanny.  FINALIST!   And even though we didn't see him in the audition rounds.... look for T.J. Simmons!  He was the FOX43 Hampton Roads Idol a couple of years ago.  He was also the Richmond Idol one year and the Iraq Soldier Idol one year. He didn't make it to Hollywood any of those times, but he went to the Philly auditions on his own and made it to Hollywood!  Be on the lookout for T.J. Simmons!  GONE!

From Dallas:   Props to Zpia!  She was the backup singer that sang 'Give Me One Reason.'   GONE!   Also in Dallas -- Kady Malloy.  She did the impersonation of Britney Spears and sounded just like her.  But when she sang as Katie, she was awesome. FINALIST!

From San Diego:  Perrie Cataldo is a sentimental favorite.  He was the single dad who's little one fell asleep on him during the interview.  He sang 'I Can Love You Like That.'  GONE!!!     I also love Michael Johns -- the Aussie who sang 'I've Been Lovin' you Too Long.'  FINALIST!      And then there's Carly Smithson from Ireland.  She had an amazing voice.  She was the girl who was disqualified in season 5 for not having a visa. FINALIST!!

From Charleston:  I'm looking for Jeffrey to go pretty far.  He was 1/2 of the brother/sister team that got through.  They were very fun and made for good t.v.  But he had the stronger voice and personality.   GONE!   I also liked London Weidberg.  Tall blonde girl with a wonderful voice.  We saw her walking on the beach with her mom talking about the death of her father.  GONE!!!

From Omaha:  I loved the arm-wrestler chick.  She sang a country song and I really think she can do it in Hollywood.  GONE!!   Also Leo.  He was the last contestant we saw in Omaha.  He sang a Donny Hathaway song.  Loved his voice.  GONE!!

From Miami:  Robbie Carrico! Robbie Carrico! Robbie Carrico!  Did I mention Robbie Carrico?  He was the ex-boy bander who had the long hair under the black hat.  He made it through and got attacked by his family and friends with silly string when he came out of the audition.  I really loved him!  FINALIST!!!     And Suzanne Toon -- she was the single mom with the little girl!   GONE!!  And last from Miami, I like Syesha Mercado.  She had the story about her dad recovering -- he was on camera with her and had a hard time talking.  I really liked her audition, too!  FINALIST!!!!!

From Atlanta:  I know you remember Asia'h Epperson!  Her dad died 2 days before the audition.  She sang 'How Do I' with such heart. Great voice, great performance.  FINALIST!!!!      Then there was Alexandrea.  She was just 16 years old and sang 'My Funny Valentine'.  Really mature voice.  FINALIST!!!!     And finally in Atlanta, I really liked Amanda.  The biker/nurse with the kicking hair!  She sang Janice Joplin's 'Mean Woman'.  LOVED HER!  Total Package!  FINALIST!!!!

From the Best of the Rest Episode:   JoAnn was the plus-sized model who sang a Celine Dion song.  Again total package!  FINALIST!!!!    And last but not least!  Chikezie!  He auditioned last season but Randy apparently 'wasn't feelin' it dawg,' and he didn't make it through.  This year all the judges were feeling it and so was I  He sang Luther as good as Luther!   FINALIST!!!!!

That's it!  I didn't do too badly!!!  I am pretty pleased considering I didn't even see some of the ones that made it into the top 24.  How did you guys do??
