The Idol Top 12 13 has been announced. I can’t say that I am 100% pleased with it, but quite a few that I wanted to go through did end up making it through. I hope this is not still a “spoiler” as it was aired on Thursday and it is now Saturday, but I decided to post who my ideal Top 13 would have been, versus who the Top 13 ended up being.
| Idol’s Top 13 | ConcertKatie’s Top 13 |
|---|---|
| Casey Abrams | Casey Abrams |
| Haley Reinhart | Haley Reinhart |
| Jacob Lusk | Tim Halperin |
| James Durbin | James Durbin |
| Karen Rodriquez | Karen Rodriquez |
| Lauren Alaina | Lauren Alaina |
| Paul McDonald | Paul McDonald |
| Pia Toscano | Pia Toscano |
| Scotty McCreery | Brett Lowenstern |
| Thia Meghia | This Meghia |
| Stefano Langone | Stefano Langone |
| Naima Aededapo | Naima Aededapo |
| Ashton Jones | Robbie Rosen |
However, I would have made it a Top 14 and also included Kendra Chantelle.
It did kind of pain me to add James Durbin to my list – but I have to give credit where it is due and although he is quite similar to Adam Lambert (though maybe a bit more Rock than Glam) he has been pretty good thus far.
