Lots of spoilers are out for season 7 in the usual spoiler spots. They are in Hollywood this week. Hollywood weeks are supposed to be very different. There is something called a "fast forward" now where some people get to skip a couple of steps in the process. Over at Idol forums, someone is posting the names (and some photos) of the people making it through.

Here is an article from earlier in the month that explains some of the changes. Such as--They get to play an instrument during the auditions, and there will be very few celebrity "mentors". NY post article with Nigel

The thing you mentioned about being able to play an instrument during auditions was tried on Canadian Idol last season. They also had the option of playing an instrument in some top ten performances as well.

Oh, Naja, I was just coming here to post that blog as well. I want to discuss this whole thing. Are the judges recruiting talent or are they just lucking into having these people audition for them? I thought that Fantasia's brother and Anthony's girlfriend auditioned with them, but I can be mistaken. So that either means they are settling ofr seconds this year or these people have improved since the first audition. I guess Sligh must be more successful than I know for his brother to audition.

Ketchup, I just created a "The Auditions" thread. Where we can talk about those who are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame on TV. I sure hope "Sex" doesn't try out. Again!

Stacey, from what I've heard, unless she's really bad, she probably won't be shown. Which would be a good thing, yes?

lol she really is good but didn't make it, she tried out in Omaha and she said that it was very obvious that they were looking for guys at that time. She said there was a girl there that sang that knocked everyone out they ALL were saying we should all just go home and that girl didn't make it! I love American Idol and I watch all the shows but I could do with out these goofy audition shows.

I heard today that there are a lot of people this year who have already had record deals and been dropped from their label. Nothing new or newsworthy there, just the facts! LOL!

The thing I don't get about American Idol spoilers, Is how can anyone say someone is allready the winner when they are still auditioning? Is the Fans votes not real? I thought this was pretty much going on as we watch sort of like BB? Or am I wrong?

Seattlemom, if you mean my post, it was just an exaggerated way of saying that of the people who made it to top 50, he was the one at the time getting the most buzz on the spoilers boards as being very good. It wasn't meant as a literal statement that "he won".

According to Joe, the guy doing the spoilers this year, yesterday the top 24 were selected. He doesn't have any word yet as to which ones made it. (top 24 day is the day on tv when they do that long walk to the chair in front of the judges)

Found a link to VFTW on aol.. they are pointing out how many of them are not previously undiscovered but more like failed singers.. They also claim that Jermaine may have already dropped out. (quoting joesplace on that item) http://www.votefortheworst.com/americanidol7contestants

Perrie Cataldo, the single dad with the cute little son who came into the room, has a concealed weapon charge (misdemeanor) in 2006 in Arizona, but it sounds like he was up front about it with AI. He "lost" his child's mom, but says she was in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing.. http://www.tmz.com/2008/01/23/britney-shut-down-by-judge/ Right now this item is after the Brit one, just scroll down.

You know, people make bad choices in their lives and sometimes they grow up and realize how stupid they were and try to do better. I don't have a problem with somebody like Mr. Cataldo if he has truly turned his life around. His little boy sure is a sweetie. And as for the other people who have had careers before and failed...everybody has to go through the whole voting process...whether they are good enough will be left ultimately in the hands of the voters. I'm not going to vote against somebody just because they've recorded before...haven't a great deal of the previous contestants? Any Tom, Dick or Carrie can go out and record their own demo.
