American Idol returns tonight with Los Angeles auditions and guest judges Katy Perry and Avril Lavigne. It’ll be an odd mix at the judge’s table with the “Sk8er Boi” and “I Kissed a Girl” singers giving their feedback to the season 9 hopefuls. Tomorrow night it’s Dallas with guest judge Doogie Howser aka Neil Patrick Harris. Next week the auditions wrap up in Denver on Tuesday night and then it’s the “Road to Hollywood” episode.Hollywood weeks starts on February 9th and it’ll be there that we get to see Ellen make her debut as an American Idol judge. Like the auditions the Hollywood week is taped in advance so the top 24 have already been decided… Fox just hasn’t published the list yet, nor will they until after the show airs. Contestants are sworn to secrecy and as Michael Lynche found out Fox doesn’t compromise when it comes to secrecy.
You’ll see Michael in the auditions this week, he’s a young blues singer who made the top 24 and reportedly was the “contestant to beat” until his father told the St. Petersburg Times that his son had made the finals. So due to a violation of his confidentiality agreement Michael has been removed from the competition. But don’t worry about Michael as he’s already signed a record contract and I’m sure will be trying to capitalize on his Idol fame.
With all that said, below is the rumored list of the top 24 contestants that will make it through the Hollywood week…
