American Idol Top 36 Revealed

A few things at the close of the American Idol auditions.

1. 36 people is a lot. I’m curious how they’ll whittle that down. I think they’re doing a more Season 1 / Australian Idol approach this year, right, with a wild card night and everything?
2. Most of the ones I like made it through. But then, THIRTY-SIX of them made it through. So basically, the only ones I liked that didn’t get through were the punk-rock chick from LA who got cut last week (and whose band I’ve already looked up - Go Betty Go) and Jamar Rogers. I also kinda liked Cody Sheldon, but more because he looks interesting than because he has a great voice.
3. Ones I really like: Danny Gokey, Anoop Desai, Alexis Grace, Joanna Pasitti, Lil Rounds, Adam Lampert, and Michael Sarver. I’m sure there will be others once I get to know them better.
4. OMG, they let Tatiana through. She does have a good voice, I’ll admit, but possibly the most annoying person I’ve ever seen in my life.
5. OMG, they let alter-ego guy through? I may have lost whatever respect I ever had for the show. Wait, I don’t really have any respect for…never mind.
6. But there is a nice variety of people this year. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
7. I want to marry Danny Gokey. And I’m pretty much not even kidding.
