I can't believe they put Tatiana through, she gets on my nerves every time!!! And yeah...it's pretty surprising Lenesha and that girl who sang "FootPrints In The Sand" didn't make it!! The judges loved them!

I don't think this list is 99% accurate because I just went to AmericanIdol.com and they posted pics and profiles of every contestant going to Hollywood and there is no Nick Western or Nate McGee go check it out!

Anoop!!!! YAY!! Loved the video you guys posted of him. Don't really remember any of the others by name. Perhaps I don't find this as important as I should. I have to re-examine my priorities.

Nate McGee is listed as Nathaniel Marshall on the Hollywood part of the AI site (in upstate New York).

It seems the N's are not in the list of contestants, so that's Idol's mistake, not ours.

Wait. No Cody? How is this possible? So far he's one of the few people who seemed interesting and who I actually remember from the auditions.

I was surprised no Cody there (Danny Noriega potential). Felicia Barton was interesting, I guess she cracked in Hollywood. Right now the most popular among idol fans are Adam Lambert, Sequoia (built in fan base), Danny Gokey, and Von Smith (VFTW!). Tatiana! wow, irritating but VFTW potential.

Dave, I'm wondering, there is so much on this list that contridicted what you and JoesPlace have been saying. What was it about this one source that changed your minds? just curious.

Can't tell you that, sorry :)

But just know that it was more than enough to change our minds.

I hope jo plant-a paCHEAT-ee gets a triple dose of the "bronchitis" she got when she got kicked out of Annie

Taylor Vaifanua, reminds me of someone who would have been on Kids Incorporated back in the day...or Rags To Riches. She is not bad...just a plant which is why I dislike her.
