American Idol down to 24 – The Showstoppers Part 1

Beware, this is not a recap of the first half of the showstopper round. Instead of giving you a play by play, it’s more fun for me to just tell you who’s definitely going to win. In other words, it’s my opinion so then we can discuss in the comments why I’m probably totally wrong. My top 3 guys are Slater Nalley, Jamal Roberts, and Thunderstorm Artis. My top 3 women are Gabby Samone, Clara Rae, and Breanna Nix.

I’m a little premature because we’re only halfway through this current round of cuts (60+ down to 24) and we haven’t even seen a few of my favorites– Krews Wright, Clara Rae, Josh King, Abi Bowen. Actually, the show is not great about sharing who’s still in it at this point so I’m not sure Clara and Abi are even there anymore. We’ll know the top 24 after tonight’s second half episode but after the first part, here are my favorites.

Slater Nalley and I’ve figured out why I like him so much. He reminds me of Jennifer Jeffries from last season. Here’s his showstopper performance of a song called “Ophelia.”


My next two favorites from last night’s episode is Thunderstorm Artis and Jamal Roberts.



I hope there’s a spotlight on Josh King, Abi Bowen, Clara Rae, and Krews Wright in tonight’s Top 24 wrap-up episode. Who are your favorites? Do you have a prediction for who will be crowned the winner?
