So, Diandra and I were up way longer than both of us needed to be talking about music. (Please - try to act like you're shocked just for a moment.) Eventually the conversation got around to who probably will go to get down to the Final 12 Idolists. Here's who we came up with.
Guys - Tim and Todrick. Andrew, who is falling fast and falling hard may be on the bubble. The problem with him is that he is up against some guys who probably aren't as talented but have the cannot-be-overstated cuteness factor: Alex Lambert who apparently has become an internet sensation; Aaron who also gets the country votes; Lee; and of course, Casey. Big Mike appears to be safe: good performances, out-sized and likable personality, and the new dad back story.
Gals - there really are lots of top-notch girls this year so if you're merely good, you won't be good enough. Which is why Paige and Lacey are in danger and most likely to go. But "I'd Be a Lot Prettier if I Didn't Cry So Much" Didi better do way better than last week's woeful Lean on Me - for me, one of the most dreadful Idol performances ever which was made worse because of that fact that you know she can sing. Crystal seems to have put herself ahead of the entire field with Lilly, Siobahn, Katelyn close behind. Katie is probably a safe bet for Idolist status. Diandra and I think she is the best pure singer in the whole bunch, has stage presence and cuteness factor. But while she surely knows she is a good singer, she hasn't figured out who she is as a distinctive artist and her toughest competition has.

I agree with your picks, Ray...although I wouldn't be surprised if Tim stayed around a bit longer. Vote For The Worst has made him their latest Chosen One, and a lot of teen girls will vote him through simply because he's cute. If he stays, I hate to think who might go home in his place.
I think you are probably right on the guys - and my top picks are Big Mike, Lee, Aaron and Casey. But, the girls, I'm hoping you have it wrong. I never have like Siobahn (even though her name interests the woman who named all four of her children names that begin with S)and I won't miss her when she goes. I do like Lacey a lot and just keep hoping she can put it all together quickly because she does have talent. Agree on Crystal, Katelyn (the cutest of all) and Katie.
