After several rounds of hardcore auditioning and meeting thousands of talented (and not so talented) Idol wannabes, the good ole American Idol judges have picked this year's top 24. MSN Entertainment gives you the lowdown on each contender still living the dream.
Although barely a month into the new season, American Idol has already grabbed headlines and the attentions of viewers around the globe, with the Top 24 contestants having just been announced last week. Between Paula Abdul's dramatic exit and Simon Cowell's X-Factor announcement, the backstage gossip has threatened to outshine the talent on this year's show.
Mere days after the finalists were announced, another bomb dropped when 25-year-old shoe salesman Chris Golightly, initially picked as one of the Top 24, was disqualified from the show. According to Fox, Chris was "ineligible to continue in the competition" because he had a standing recording contract with a label.
While it hasn't always been smooth-sailing, we have to admit that this year's contestants are a talented bunch. As good as the Idol headlines were, the hopeful voices shone through, reminding critics and fans alike how the show earned its place on the dais.
