Reed Grimm is a frontrunner for the VFTW vote, and these pictures just help his cause.

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!!!)

We're going to start bringing you previews of the American Idol 11 contestants who are getting reactions out of us. First up is Reed Grimm from Elsworth, WI. He's the lead singer and drummer of a band called Shoeless Revolution. His sister won a Dream Ticket at the American Idol Experience in Disney World and gave him the ticket. Reed cites his influences on his Facebook as The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Bobby McFerrin. We've had enough of the first two on Idol, but it'd be a VFTW victory to hear someone sing Don't Worry Be Happy. He already chooses songs like I Wanna Sex You Up for concerts and The Family Matters Theme for his Idol audition, so there's some Worster potential here. He's also AI10 contestant Caleb Hawley's cousin. Reed could be a lot of irreverent fun or he could be a douche who takes the competition too seriously, so it's up in the air whether he'd be fun for us. He does play a guitar, so we've got WGWG #5 potential here. He's already posing shirtless to get frauen votes and he's the first toilet pic of the new season. What do you think of this guy so far?
