American Idol Season 9 Top 24

It's that time of the year again, the time for you to vote for your favorite singers to be your 9th American Idol!!! Please let a girl win this year! Although I would really like to see some of my favorite guy contestants to be in the finals...but it's too early to dream about that now...
Some of my favorite contestants this year are John Park, the 21 year old Korean contestant from Illinois. I remembered him during his first audition when Shania Twain flirted with him - a lot of dirty cowboy kind of flirting - LOL, though the show didn't show much of John's performance during Hollywood week, but being able to be in the Top 24 and getting little airtime on Idol might be a good thing, making the audience to hear more from the contestant!
Lilly Scott from Denver, easily recognizable with her platinum hair color, not only her hair color is different, her singing and style is different too, though she is not the best singer who can hit those really high notes and dynamics, she sings different kind of songs - turning song into her own Jazz version...really different...quite good too.
Haeley Vaughn, the 16 year old girl with a crazy voice, her Jason Mraz performance of I'm Yours was really loud during Hollywood week but I think she overdid it to prove her voice and talent, tone down a little during the live performance...contestants don't have to hit the high notes every week...well...some did it to win the competition in the pastDidi Benami, if i'm not mistaken, she's the contestant that joined the competition to remember her best friend, I can't remember any of her performance but I know she has a great voice, if i'm not mistaken again, I think she write her own songs too...looking forward to see more of Didi
Crystal Bowersox, I remember her, she got a lot of airtime on Idol, the struggling mother story contestant...she performed Natural Woman during Hollywood week, it was good...the whole Idol thing might swallow her upAndrew Garcia, another contestant who has the same story as Crystal Bowersox, struggling father, minus those sob stories, great talent, he sang an acoustic version of Paula Abdul's Straight Up...go figure! He might win the whole thing if he keep on surprising audience with more of those really good and "different" performance
And there's a few contestant that I don't bother watching, some are really annoying to me after watching them for a period of time, most of them are guys - these are my least favorite contestant: Casey James - the guy who took of his shirt and let off his hair to charm Kara, Jermaine Sellers - annoying guy , Michael Lynche - aka Big Mike who wasn't at his wife side during labor, Todrick Hall - the guy who sang at Color Purple with Fantasia who is also annoying after watching him after a period of time, and Tyler Grady - the 60s 70s nightmare contestant.
