American Idol 8 Spoiler Update - American Idol 8
Remember how we told you about Jason Castro’s brother Michael back at the Kansas City auditions? He of the crazy Mohawk variety? Well, rumor has it he’s been spotted in Hollywood last week during the Idol 8 Hollywood Round of the audition process. So, technically, that means he may still be in the running, although any report anyone gets at this stage is premature. But one interesting (and late) development is that an Osmond may have been in Hollywood.Say what? Well, Idol insiders are reporting that David Osmond is this year’s Carly Smithson and/or Michael Johns! He is, in fact, the “plant” that Idol producers put in each season to help boost ratings and supposedly resurrect said person’s career. We’ll have much more on Mr. Osmond , so stay tuned!
Osmond isn’t the only “plant,” however. The same Idol insiders are also reporting that Joanna Pacitti (listen to one of her many songs above) has also leapt to the top of the heap! Pacitti is so famous already (or infamous, depending on your take) that she has a Wikipedia.
And no, we aren’t done. Yet another “signed” singer who may not necessarily be an amateur is Von Lee Smith, who had a major recording contract not too long ago after he made some wildly popular YouTube videos and even appeared on The View.The other catch to Idol 8 is that ALL of the singers who made last year’s Top 50 round were invited back.
So far of those season 7 singers, Mishavonna Henson and Angela Martin (above photo) were spotted at the Renaissance Hotel, the site of this year’s early Hollywood rounds, but no Colton Swon, in spite of some media outlets and their insistence that he is in fact in Tinseltown.
Other notables you will likely see a lot of include Otto Malone, a Chief Warrant Officer in his National Guard unit wounded by enemy fire in Afghanistan and Chris Bernheisel, who auditioned in Omaha last year and basically whored himself to cush gigs on talk shows covering Idol 7 after he was eliminated. Sounds like it’s gonna be a wild season 8!
