The Dictionary of the Plants of American Idol 8... So Far
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 Hollywood Spoilers Keep Coming In - David Osmond Definitely Out
We keep getting spoilers from our dedicated readers, so thanks! If you have any information you can share with us, please do. We will keep your name anonymous.
We've gotten word from even more sources that David Osmond was definitely cut in Hollywood for singing terribly. It isn't looking good for him! Some early standouts we're hearing about are a pianist named Stephen Fowler, last year's Hollywood contestant Angela Martin, a goth guy named Adam, and a guy named Ju'Not that Paula has the hots for.
Also, we've been hearing from multiple sources that there will be more than a top 24 this year. It's rumored that there is a top 36 instead. Sounds like it might be a giant group to hide some plants in? Guess we'll see what happens. A top 36 could be interesting.
Edited to Add: UPDATE. Sharon Wilbur was cut during Hollywood. Yay! And Ju'Not's full name is Ju'Not Joyner. Apparently Ju'Not was the "star" of Hollywood. Also, Adam seems to be openly gay.
More AI8 Hollywood Spoilers- The Osmond is Out?
We've heard some more American Idol 8 Hollywood round spoilers from two seemingly credible sources. It seems that:
- David Osmond may have been cut during the first round in Hollywood. We hope so, this would be hilariously awesome! Rumors are that the guy was being incredibly cocky, so it could make for entertaining television. The Bikini Girl from the preview we posted was also cut immediately in Hollywood (not a shock).
- The following people were cut in Hollywood: Anna Kaelin (Gaspy's vocal coach's daughter), a girl named Rose (maybe her).
- The following people were cut, but not sure at what point: Heather Elmer, Skyler Holman, Loren Allred.
- The judges have a favorite this year named Taylor. Could it be Taylor Graves?
If you have any more info for us, please let us know by sending us an e-mail. We promise to keep the information anonymous.
David Archuleta and David Osmond Together on Stage
The Osmonds had a Christmas concert last night, and little David Archuleta was there to sing with future American Idol 8 Hollywood superplant David Osmond. Maybe Gaspy will give the Osmond tips on how to wheeze and bashfully laugh every time the judges fawn over you. Either way, if the Osmond makes the top 24 this year, the show is officially done for.
American Idol 8 Hollywood Contestant Spoilers Continue
We found even more Hollywood contestant spoilers over at MJ's Big Blog (via King Julien at IdolForums). Although there are tons of plants (CUT IT OUT, IDOL), one of the contestants is an even bigger plant than Joanna Pacitti (hard to imagine, right?) We have no idea how these contestants have fared so far, but they all made it to at least Hollywood. Again, if you know anything about these people, please let us know.
- David Osmond (pictured left, and yes, he's Donny and Marie's nephew) who already has connections, has a sob story too, because he had Wesy Nile Virus and now has MS. MJ reports that Americanidoldavidosmond.com and Davidosmondamericanidol.com are already registered. What the fuck?
- Jackie Tohn is an actress that has appeared on shows like The Sopranos, Veronica Mars, and Angel. She also released an EP in 2005.
- Danni Roundtree was Miss New York, USA 2008.
- We also have husband and wife Tom Korbee and Jen Korbee, Tatiana Nicole Del Toro, Michael Sarver, Nate Marshall, and Lacey Brown.
We received a pretty fun tip yesterday and we wanted to share it today before the Salt Lake City auditions. Some fun info for you:
Looks like everyone knows everyone in Utah, huh? So even though David Osmond is cut in Hollywood, Taylor Vaifanua still makes it to at least the top 50. She's interweaved into a few webs there, so she's pretty planty. Guess we'll see what happens as the episode airs tonight.
