American Idol: Early predictions

So now that the 36 semi-finalists have been announced, it's time for some early predictions. With the show returning to its original format of having the top three vote-getters advance, every performance is life or death. This turn of events makes the show unpredictable again.

My early picks include:

Von Smith-reminds me of Broadway star Sam Harris, look up Harris on YouTube it's worth it
Ann Marie Boskovich-is very likable and has a understated voice, don't underestimate her
Michael Sarver-is a rocker with soul, a mix of Chris Daughtry and Josh Gracin
Ju'not Joyner-his soulful rendition of "Hey There Delilah" made me forget I hate the song

My top three from Tuesday night's first group of singers is: Michael Sarver, Ann Marie Boskovich and Danny Gokey.

Also singing in that group is crazy Tatiana and producer favorites Anoop Desai and Alexis Grace.

Let's hope that talent perseveres over craziness and montages of sad stories.
