I'm sort of suprised that nobody has started a thread before now, but given that we are down to the Top 24, which will then be taken down to the Final 12, I was just wondering who else was watching this year, and what the thoughts are about the contestants. At this point, have you been able to place names with faces?

My personal favorites so far:

Women: Mandisa (she is some kind of serious awesome), Ayla (so tall), Paris, Lisa and Kat. The rest - meh! They were boring, boring, boring on Tuesday night.

Men: Chris, Elliott, Patrick and Ace (sooooo hot). And of course, Taylor. He is so weird, with the twitching, and has such an amazing voice, and that white hair! So NOT American Idol, and I absolutely love him! On another site, his nickname is Gray Charles. Hee!!

Most disappointing: Kellie Pickler and Sway. Although I adore saying Kellie's name, I was not at all happy with her performance. And Sway? I think that he has the most beautiful voice, but what was he thinking with the falsetto song choice? YUK!

First that should go: Bobby and Brenna. I find them to be the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.
