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.

 


American Idol 8 Auditions are Already Filled with Plants

Looks like Idol hasn't learned a thing. Auditions for American Idol 8 are underway, and although the contestants have not yet made it to the celebrity judge round, we've found many plants who have auditioned this year thanks to JoesPlace and some additional detective Worsters. So be on the lookout for these people. We're hoping by spoiling them early, we can help ruin their chances and get some non-plants on the show this year.

  • Plantiest of all is Raquel Houghton (pictured left), Dane Cook's ex-girlfriend, and former member of the band The Valli Girls that was signed to Sony/BMG.
  • Almost as planty... Joanna Pacitti, who was signed to A&M Records to release songs on the Legally Blonde soundtrack and a CD for Mattel's My Scene, and then signed under Geffen Records to release her single "Let it Slide".
  • Lara Johnston, daughter of Doobie Brothers' singer Tom Johnston, who appeared on MTV's "Rock the Cradle".
  • Harley Sumabat, who previously was on the show "Can You Duet?"

We'll keep you updated on all the plants we can find. Seriously, producers. Let's not ruin the show with has beens again this year. Thanks in advance.
