American Idol announced its top 24 last night, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for irrational predictions! Last year, Pop and I faced off with our snap judgments about which of the 24 semi-finalists would make it to the finals, and we had so much fun taunting each other about it that we decided to do it again this time around.
This year's a little tricky because we've hardly seen half of these guys, and a few of the girls haven't had much screen time, either. But no matter — that's what gut feelings are for, right? To see which guys and girls we each think will make it through, just push play:

Ugh. I'm sorry guys I just can't stand Ryan Semencrust. That is all.
1I like alot of the guys,not very many of the girls( maybe ramiele and one other girl, but I cannot recall her name).
2he wears so much makeup. i swear i saw some eye liner, mascara, blush and lipstick. i was like-whoa.
3The only one that I have to totally disagree with you guys on is Kristy Lee Cook. My whole office has a crush on her and I think she'll make it pretty far. She's just one of those All-American girls. Other than that, I'm mostly on your side with people, Buzz. I'm so excited for next week to really get to know the contestants!
4Jason Castro is pretty talented but I know he didn't really get any screen time.
5I agree with Phasekitty! What about Kristy Lee? I'm a little biased because I know her, but still I think she's got real talent.
6I liked Kristy...until her dancing in this clip. Since that's totally relevant in the singing competition...
7Love the video, Buzz and Pop. Let the competition begin!
8Syesha's from my hometown! I went to high school with her. I'm so excited for her!
9Ramiele sang at my friend's wedding =) Yay... I know a celeb now!
10I'm with those who think Carly Smithson should get booted for having had recording contract in past. Give a true newbie a chance! http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/13980/irish-idol-smithsons...
11I really love Brooke White thus far. I know it's waaaay to early to say, but I really hope she makes it to the top 12 - and beyond!!
12*too*
13KLC's dancing has to go! What was that? I loved that video though! so cool. Go 16 year old cutie!
14How can you say no to David Cook?
