American Idol Prediction
Sports analysts make predictions at the beginning of the season based upon players they have seen play and teams that are fairly consistent from year to year. Usually they do pretty terribly. No joke. Do you know how many people picked the Giants to win the Super Bowl at the beginning of the NFL season? 0, and that includes Eli Manning and Michael Strahan.
That being said, from the first episode of American Idol I watched I have wanted to be on the show. But not as a singer. I know how I sing and would prefer to spare myself the embarassment. No, I would love to be on the show as a judge. I tend to say things while performers are singing that judges agree with (especially Simon). I also picked Taylor Hicks to win the whole show after seeing his first audition (prior to Hollywood week). And I have people that can back that up.
All that being said, having only seen but a few minutes of a few singers (I don't think I have heard everyone in the top 24), I am going out on a limb to predict the Top 7. This is based purely on what I heard in the auditions (or didn't hear). I also put out a disclaimer that this is based purely on talent and we all saw last season that people will put Sanjaya's through over more talented people. Having acknowledged that fundamental flaw. Here are my picks for the Top 7 (in no order other than women first and men second):
Asia'h Epperson
Carly Smithson
Brooke White
Syesha Mercado
David Archueletta
Michael Johns
Robbie Carrico
Dark Horses:
JoAnne Borgella
Ramiele Malbay
I was more impressed with what I heard from the ladies. Most of the guys sounded alike and nothing all that new. People don't realize there is already 1 Chris Doughtrey and frankly, I don't think we need any more.
We will see how I do and I will change things up as I hear more people sing. But you saw it here the day the Top 24 were announced.
Finally, my surprise moment was when the last 2 males were seated and Simon gave Kyle a heart felt congratulations and telling him that he believed Kyle deserved to make the Top 24 (though not over Colton, probably over David H.).
