After Hollywood week, I learned quite a bit more about the contenders and the Top 24. Most of them have now been featured (and it’s going to be a tough road for those who haven’t been)… So without further ado, here’s my top 2nd installment of Top 24 Power Rankings
Andrew Garcia – I don’t think there’s any doubt he’s the favorite. I think his only concern might be setting the bar too high too early. I’ve seen lots of his stuff and think he’s got plenty of amazing performances left in him, but my ONLY worry is he’ll get a little stale after weeks and weeks… Plus, with Idol, you have to do a lot of different stuff… But he know’s who he is and has to be the leader.
So the biggest news of the new season might not be Paula leaving or Ellen joining. It might just be that this will be the victory lap for Simon Cowell who will be leaving American Idol after the season to start an American version on his hit The X Factor. While this is stunning news for Idol fans, it could be a blessing in disguise. We’ll still get to see Simon on Fox and Idol could drop a peg, allowing it to tone down a bit on the “bad” and become more about finding the best talent. Then The X Factor could be another huge hit that gave us more stars. Who knows how it will pan out, but we can dream, right?
Felicia’s husban, Loren, has given the update as to how Felicia found out she was back in the top 36! Here’s from his Facebook Group:
And then we got the call!!! Sure enough, right smack in the middle of the 150 viewers that were gathered at Freedom to watch the show, Ken Warwick (executive producer for Idol) called Felicia’s cell phone. She ran into the girl’s bathroom to take the call, and she was bouncing off the walls when Ken told her to pack her bags, because she was now in the top 36!!!! He also told her not to tell a soul until they made it public the next day. So we had to finish out the night as if she never got the call! Continue reading
Well, I’d been hearing for weeks that Felicia wasn’t making the top 36 and plenty of her fans were bummed! With Joanna Pacitti getting canned, Felicia gets her second chance! For those of you who haven’t been following, here’s Felicia:
