american idol 7 favorites

this year, american idol return for its seventh season. the top 24 has already been chosen and now, the guys and girls are performing for a spot on the top 12. america will vote on who would they like to see on the top 12.

as for me, i have my personal favorites from this season. before the show begins, ryan seacrest always says that season 7 has the greatest talent the show has ever had. well, i kinda agree but of course, from the previous seasons, there had been few great talents on the show. okay, as for my favorites, i have 5. two from the girls and three from the boys.

This guy is amazing. I really like him despite the fact that he's gay. He has a very good singing voice. I don't understand why other people dislike him because he's gay. Memorable performance for me is during hollywood week when he sang "When I Need You" by Leo Sayer.

Another Filipina who make it through to hollywood week. I'm proud of her since she is a fellow Filipino. She has a very good voice for someone like her. I think she's going to do great on the show. She was great during her audition when she sang "Natural Woman" by Aretha Franklin.

i included ryan seacrest's picture so that there would be a balance. i really like him as a host. so handsome and adorable.
