American Idol is all the rage in the world of people who enjoy watching competitions and hearing Simon Cowell tell people off. Or, if you're like me, watching Paula Abdul clap without letting her fingers touch and hearing Randy call people dogs. Hehe.

The three contenders from Delaware did not make it to the final 24. Bummer. I really liked Jonathan Baines, 17, of Smyrna. When he auditioned, singing Little Big Town's "A Little More You" it was perfect! Baines sang a few lines of the song before he was interrupted by Simon Cowell. "You have a very good voice," Simon said before fellow judge Paula Abdul agreed. That was all it took and Simon announced, "You're going to Hollywood!"

Here are this year's top 24 contestants, in no particular order: Carly Smithson, David Cook, Amanda Overmyer, David Archuleta, Brooke White, Danny Noriega, Jason Castro, Luke Menard, Alexandrea Lushington, Ramiele Malubay, Syesha Mercado, Robbie Carrico, Garrett Haley, Kady Malloy, Chikezie Eze, Amy Davis, Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager, Michael Johns, Asia'h Epperson, David Hernandez, Colton Berry, Joanne Borgella and Kristy Lee Cook.
