While we all love Tatiana, Nick, etc, let's remember that some other people may eventually win the VFTW love too. We do have to vote for 3 people in the semifinals. VFTW dark horse Kristen McNamara yodeled on Nashville Star. Yeah... It's interesting. Also interesting to see that even back then, the judges were insulting her on her style. Tons of VFTW potential, but she's being overshadowed right now. Guess we'll see what happens in the future.
A list of the top 36 was just sent to us via e-mail. How reliable is this list? It looks like it! We've talked to JoesPlace and done some more research and we're all pretty sure this is right. Thanks to JP for helping us out with this, we make a good team. So here you go, without further ado, more likely than not, your top 36 (click read more for the list). That's a pretty big spoiler!

JoesPlace did a top 50 update for today and it looks like Von Smith and Kristen McNamara made it to the top 50. Kristen is the one with the gigantic fake boobs and Von is the queeny guy above. They could both have a lot of VFTW potential, so we'll see what happens.
For those of you joining us for today’s season premiere of American Idol, let us catch you up. We’ve been doing our research for the past few months to bring you the skinny on the plants of American Idol 8. Here’s a who’s who of the usual suspects who will be competing for your votes this year, along with some wilted plants who didn’t make it. Use this like a scorecard so you can check off the forest as the plants appear on the show.
Plants Who Are in the Top 50
Name: Brent Keith Smith
Audition City: Unknown
Why He’s a Plant: He’s already came in sixth place on Nashville Star 2, had music videos played on CMT, and sang the theme song to the movie Dale. That’s a super plant if you ask us.
Picture from Kristen McNamara's Facebook. Now this would have been an awesome top 3 this past year. Loving it. Idol voters never get it right!
