Steven Tyler performed the National Anthem before the Patriots/Ravens game today. Though performed is probably too nice of a world. Murdered. Destroyed. Shat upon. Those are better. This guy is judging people's singing - and we love it. Don't ever change, Steven.

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!!!)

Sometimes people live in a tent in the woods because they love the great outdoors. And sometimes people live in a tent because they are a big drunk, like Amy Brumfield. Idol exploited Amy as someone who has fallen on tough financial times. Maybe she has this money problem from paying all the fines for being arrested at least six times in the past seven years, including multiple arrests involving booze. One particularly VFTW arrest was when Amy got busted in 2010 for being so intoxicated that she peed herself in a Baskin Robbins!

Hey Amy, stop spending money on hideous tattoos and booze, take a bath, get a job and start paying rent like everyone else.

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.
