Top 36 Preview Group 1 - Predictions - American Idol 8
Going first on Tuesday is group 1, which is led by Jackie Tohn, Brent Keith Smith (below photo), Danny Gokey and Anoop Dogg Desai.
Here are my predictions as to who goes on and why:
Casey Carlson (above photo) - She may be able to fill out a bathing suit (as evidenced from other pictures) but the jury is still out on whether or not the girl can sing. Since singing does come in handy at some stage of the competition, I’m gonna have to think she’ s out of her league here. The only chance she has, realistically, is to create a huge scandal after some nude photos magically surface. But it worked for Antonella Barba, you know. Odds of making it out of the Top 36: 20 percent
Stephan Fowler - Who is this guy again and how did he end up in the Top 36? Fowler odds: 0 (Not gonna put up a score)
Jackie Tohn - The ringer from Hollywood is back at home now and so she knows the territory. Her singing is up there with some of the best Idol has ever had. She’d have to come down with a case of laryngitis worse than David Osmond’s to go home now. Tohn odds: 100
Ricky Braddy - Another one who could be great or who could be horrible. Braddy odds: 50
Anne Marie Boskovich - Another ringer. Another shoo-in, at least in this group. Boskovich odds: 75
Brent Keith Smith - Country through and through. And America loves themselves some cowboys. Smith odds: 80
Alexis Grace - Perhaps the most intriguing of the 12, Grace can sing and she obviously has some dirty laundry; it’s just that nobody has found it yet. When they do, that will tell you all you need to know. For now she’s safe though. Grace odds: 75
Michael Sarver - He could be the next Phil Stacey or he could be a dud. It’s too early to tell, but I think he’s going deep into the show, possibly a Top 12 showing. Sarver odds: 75
Stevie Wright - In this group she will battle with Grace and Tohn. I don’t think she has what it takes to mess with either. Wright odds: 25
Danny Gokey - One of the best singers in the show, Gokey goes nowhere until the ringers start catching up to him, which should happen in the Top 24. Then we’ll really find out what he’s made of. Gokey odds: 75
Tatiana Del Toro - The raging hormonal bull has made a name for herself alright…but it’s not a good thing. She may be (and it pains me to say this) the most annoying person to ever appear on the show. Considering the kinds of personalities who have been on this show that is a tremendous accomplishment. Can she sing? Yeah, but so can birds. Del Toro odds: 0
Anoop Desai - Already known by one name, Anoop is already getting buss the likes of which hasn’t been seen since Sanjaya. Vote For The Worst has already proclaimed the whiz kid as their poster child. I can already tell this is gonna be a fun year.
