The American Idolater

I have a feeling these are pretty accurate spoilers, so you should stop reading now if you don’t want to know what’s going to happen.

And for the rest of you, these people all supposedly make it to the final 40 (20 women and 20 men), from which the public will be voting:

• Bernard (don’t know the last name)
• Matthew Buckstein. Country dude, looks like he’ll be on one of next week’s episodes.
• Rudy Cardenas. He was in this first week of auditions, also in an a capella group called m-pact.
• Justin Davis
• Gina Glocksen. She’s in a band called Catfight.
• Blake Lewis. The beatbox guy, a.k.a “B Shorty” based on his Myspace page
• Tom Lowe. He’s in a band called Tommy and the Tigers, and sounds like he was doing just fine for himself before American Idol came along, based on the band’s Myspace page: “The band is fronted by British pop star Tom Lowe, whose boy-band North and South reached number 7 on the UK charts (and number 2 in Malaysia) with its hit “Man Not a Boy,” and starred in the T.V. series “No Sweat” on the BBC. Tom went on to have a successful career as an actor on London’s West End, playing The Rum Tum Tugger in “Cats” and Marius in “Les Miserables.”"
• Sanjaya Malakar. The brother from the Indian brother and sister pair that we saw audition, I think on the Seattle episode. I haven’t heard any spoilers yet about whether his sister makes it that far.
• Chris Richardson
• Chris Sligh. We haven’t seen his audition yet, he’s on the Memphis episode. He’s also in a band called Half Past Forever.
• Philip “Phil” Joel Stacey. We haven’t seen him audition yet, looks like he’ll be on this coming Tuesday.

Well, that’s what spoilers are out there for now. I totally meant to get some rambling about the first two audition episodes posted first, but figured that you guys have seen those, and it’s less likely that you’ve seen spoilers, so I might as well focus on those for now.

There’s also some spoilers about people who get eliminated in Hollywood, including at least two from auditions that we’ve already seen. None of these names ring a bell, so I don’t know if they actually showed us their auditions, or only a brief clip of them at the very end:

• Kylie Bunbury
• Mitch

And since they got eliminated, they don’t get their names in bold like the soon-to-be more famous people at the top of the post. That’s life. One day your name’s in bold, and the next day it’s totally not bolded at all, not even a little bit.
