JoesPlace has updated her top 36 list to include Kendall Beard, Felicia Barton, and Adam Lambert, as well as the previously spoiled Lil Rounds. JP is more reliable than the list we got via e-mail of course, so we'll say she's probably right. Felicia Barton is on this list, while she's not on the other one.
Edit: And just after we post this, we're now sure Felicia is not on the list. She's not in the top 36. Probably so some plant like Joanna could be.
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!

So what do you think? So much VFTW potential here!
It's our first top 36 spoiler of the season. We just received an anonymous tip that Lil Rounds definitely makes the top 36. That means viewers will have a chance to vote her in to the top 12 or not. This seems pretty plausible, as Lil was overly pimped in the audition episode, so this spoiler seems like it'll be correct. If you have any more tips for us out there, send us an e-mail and let us know.
Another person JoesPlace added to the top 50 list the other day was Lil Rounds. Rumor has it that she was one of only 2 people to get a standing ovation in Hollywood and that she is the third person singing in this commercial. Sadly "Lil" is not a shortened name for Little (as in Lil Kim or Lil Mama), it's just short for Lillian. Hopefully she'll have some personality, because so far she seems a little boring.
