My son Brett Armin (Who passed away from "Sarcoma)cancer January l0th and his best friend Corey Anderson were sitting in our house watching "American Idol" in December and Brett and Corey both said I'm sure he'll make the top twenty four with his musical talent , and this was before the auditions in Omaha, Nebraska The three boys were music majors at Millikin University. Keep up the good work. We'll be watching you especially "brett" from Above in Heaven. Brett's Mom Go Luke Menard

I hope this list is not true because Josiah has a lot of talent and really should be in the top.

I don't think he is really that great, but sad that josiah doesn't make it.
I do like Archuleta, Johns, & Smithson. Can't stand Danny Noriega.
