What do you think of this list? Anyone missing that you wish would have made it? And who's the most likely VFTW pick from those we know so far?

EDITED TO UPDATE ON 1/24: Looks like Colton Dixon is in, Clayton whateverhisnameis is out. Ugh.

The Idol Pad has its first top 24 spoilers out for the season, so here are some of the people who made it to the point that you'll be able to vote for them. There will also apparently be a fill top 24 list released tonight after the special Sunday show.

The females that are in the top 24 so far:

1. Baylie Brown (from AI season 6)
2. Shannon Magrane (the tall 15 year old)
3. Elise Testone (we saw her briefly in the first episode)
4. Haley Johnsen (we haven't seen her yet)

The males that are in the top 24 so far:

1. Heejun Han (VFTW Victory!)
2. Reed Grimm (spazzy Family Matters guy)
3. Eben Franckewitz

Edited to Add: MJ's Big Blog had a few more spoilers. Adam Brock, Adam Lee Decker, Hallie Day, and Aaron Marcellus Sanders are in the top 24. Scott Dangerfield and David Leathers were cut (NOOOO!!!)

Here is Wendy Taylor of this year's top 42 singing half naked at some Renaissance fair. We know she's not someone who should be singing in that outfit, but let's ignore that. How's the voice? Sorry... we can't ignore that she shouldn't be singing in that outfit. If she's the same Wendy Taylor who made it to Hollywood last year, she's a single mom with 3 kids and she auditioned as a tribute to some girl who had brain cancer. Way to ramp up the sob stories. But at least she seems like she'll say whatever the hell she thinks, so she may just be someone we'll really enjoy.

Alex Borja is one of the American Idol 11 top 42 contestants from Tijuana (he must be living in the U.S. as well to try out for the show). How do we know? He announced in Spanish that he was the only Mexican in the top 40 and then posted a copy of the paycheck he got from American Idol. This leads us to think there's no way he's going to be allowed into the voting rounds. But we'll see.

Here's a video of Alex singing at Starbucks. He doesn't look too intelligent, which, is probably true since he posts pictures of his AI paycheck online. He also loves to post pictures of himself shirtless. So we'll see what happens and if he makes it any further.

What do you think of this guy?
