We find out the top 12 contestants for this season of American Idol tonight at 7p.  Here is who I would like to see be in the group:

Girls:

Crystal Bowersox, Siobhan Magnus, Lacey Brown, Katelyn Epperly, Didi Benami and Lilly Scott.

That means that Katie Stevens and Paige Miles are out for me.  I don't remember Katie having a good performance and Paige has a good voice but song choice and her inability to hit ANY NOTES during Tuesday's performance sealed the deal. 

Boys:

Big Mike, Casey James, Andrew Garcia, Alex Lambert, Lee Dewyze and Todrick Hall.

That means that Aaron Kelly and Tim Urban are gone.  Aaron could be really good next season or in a couple of years but I don't think he gets what it takes each week.  I will say this, Kara's comment last night that he shouldn't sing a song he knows nothing about is dumb because most of the songs they are singing probably have nothing to do with the contestants.  She annoys me.  Tim was better last night but I think it was a fluke.  Ellen was right last week, he should be an actor who also sings.  It worked for Zach Efron.
