Okay, are you ready to go for the gold? Who is going to be the new American Idol? You have from now until next Tuesday to join the American Idol Fantasy League. If you missed last night's show, or just want to do more research into the top 24 contestants, click here to go to the American Idol website. So far they have posted interviews with each of the top 24, and here's a website that has video clips of most of the Top 24 singing!
Here is what you need to do to get started:
1. Pick the eight of the top 24 contestants that you think have the best chance of going all the way.
2. Rank the contestants 8 through 1, with 8 being the one you think will be the American Idol. Rank in order of confidence, 8 highest, 7 next, all the way down to one.
3. Post your top 8 as a comment to this blog (if you want everyone to see your picks), or email your top 8 to brettgustaveson@yahoo.com (if you want no one to see your picks).
That's it until the top 24 begins next Tuesday. Simple Enough, right?
You want to get the most points possible. Here's how the points are awarded:
- Every time one of your top 8 advance to the next week, you get the points of your ranking times the number of week they made it through. For example: The person I ranked a "6" made it through week one, I get 6 points. If he makes it through week 2 I get 12 points (6 x 2). If he makes it through week 3, I get 18 points (6 x 3). Get it?
- As we get to the eliminations on Wednesdays, you will get 10 points for correctly guessing who will get eliminated that week.
- If your 8-point person is crowned the new American Idol, you get a bonus 50 points!
By the way, we will post information on the top 24 as soon as it becomes available.

But we haven't heard all of the top 24 perform! How are we supposed to pick?
I'm hoping that we will be able to see them all perform via the American Idol website or YouTube. Hold tight for a couple of days and let's see if we can find something.
Okay, well, apparently I only did part of what the game is. Since I'm a loser, I wrote down ten people instead of eight. Then I didn't rank them (computer was off and I didn't remember that part!). I don't think I am capable of ranking them right now...and I reserve the right to change my listing once I hear them all sing. I'm basing this list off of the ones I've heard so far:
LADIES:
- Brook White (does she seem a little bit LDS to anyone else?)
- Syesha Mercado
- Asia'h Epperson
- Caryl Smithson
- Ramiele Malubay
Okay, so that's going to make it more than just eight contestants...so right now I'm claiming the inability to count.
GUYS
- Danny Norriega (he totally reminds me of a boy Jessica Alba for some reason)
- David Cook (Kasia, you should do your hair like his)
- Michael Johns
- David Archuleta
So, there is my top NINE. I don't know who to remove from my list. Maybe I'll update this once I see them all perform...and rank them. As it is, I have no idea right now!
They always say "This year of AI has better talent than the previous years." or something like that...and i never believe them. But I really think this year they have a lot more talented people. Not that they are more talented than the super talented were in the other years - just a larger number of them.
Anyway, there's my loser answers, since I chose nine and they aren't ranked...and I reserve the right to change it once I hear the others!
OK, this is CHRISTINE'S list, Dave wants to do his own.
