Being a huge Ellen DeGeneres fan, I decided to watch American Idol, the reality show that changed the lives of David Cook, David Archuleta, Jennifer Hudson and Kris Allen. I was too eager to see how Ellen is as a judge. I’ve been used to watching her on tv doing her hosting, which I really really adore. I admit, with her being part of Idol, will make me watch the show religiously. Anyways, last night’s 2-hour special airing, American Idol revealed the following first 7 semi-finalist:
Michael “Big Mike” Lynche, Astoria NY – He was reportedly kicked out of American Idol after his father revealed that Big Mike made it to the Top 24.
Didi Benami, Hollywood CA – She recalled the tragic loss her best friend and she’s living her legacy by joining American Idol.
Aaron Kelly, Sonestown PA – Following David Archuleta’s foot steps as he is the youngest of this season’s batch.
Todrick Hall, Arlington TX – Claimed that he never had formal voice lessons as he is born a dancer.
Lee Dewyze, Mount Prospect IL – He owns one of the most powerful voices amongst his competitors. And he reminds me of Kris Allen so much, physically speaking and David Cook.
Casey James, Cool TX – Who wouldn’t remember James? He’s the guy who was asked to remove his shirt at the audition.
Katelyn Epperly, Des Moines IA – A very talented lady, lead vocalist and pianist of her indie folk band “Katelyn & the Bruises”.

I’ll be watching American Idol again tonight to complete the list of the lucky 24. And I must say this, there is no other better replacement to Paula Abdul than Ellen DeGeneres! She’s a natural and just adorable. She created a balance to the show, errr, with Simon. Her sincerity won the hearts of so many viewers and even at work, I hear so many praises about her being part of American Idol.
