46 now remain. Now there’s a new segment. The contestants have to face the judges in the Kodak. So that’s 2 hours of music-less Idol between today and tomorrow. Bleh. I want new performances! I don’t understand why they’re calling this the “final judgment”. There’s still another episode. Right? What’s tomorrow going to be? Explain it to me, Ryan!! I’m so confused. They’re talking like this is it. Maybe they’re doing half tonight and half tomorrow? Hmm, well the website describes tomorrow’s episode as “Meet the Top 24″. And more importantly, while searching the website, I discovered that Kimberley Locke has a 4th album coming out! Yay! Her new single is called “Strobe Light”…which concerns me a bit. I hope it’s not a crazy dance music type CD.

ANYWHO. I guess we’re announcing the Top 24. So here we go!

Mike Lynche is in! WOOO!! Unanimous decision! YAY!

Didi Benami is in! Yay! I like her too! WOO! 2 for 2!

Katelyn Epperly is in. I don’t really like her though. Oh well. I wasn’t going to like them all.

Shelby Dressel is out. That’s too bad. She wasn’t bad.

Casey James is in! He’s okay. I don’t hate him.

Aaron Kelly is in! Yay! Aw, he’s so cute. I might have to root for a 16 year old this year.

Lee Dewyze is in! Heheh…he just keeps saying shut up. I wish they had showed more of him. He was really good.

Todrick Hall is in! WOO! I’m so excited about the boys this year! Now we just need Jermaine (I think Orlando Jermaine got the boot earlier) and Andrew.

Jessica Furney is out. That’s weird that they’d even show her. They didn’t show her very much in the auditions. Probably just because she’s freaking out right now. Stop your whining. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. PUHLEEZE. Go away. Go away. Go away. Go away. Go away. Why are you still here? Yes, that’s why they showed her.

So 7 people are in the Top 24 so far. I’m not a fan of this splitting the results into two days thing. I like to learn them all at once. Sigh. Oh well. We have 5 of 12 guys and 2 of 12 girls. We learn the rest tomorrow…and then my website gets updated on Thursday! WOO!

Until then…
