Hello, I will be participating too! 

I'll post my picks later, early favorites:  "Chris Sligh is my guy!"  I like Chris, something about him.  Also, I really have been wanting a "male Kat" this season since everyone went crazy over Kat last season, lol, it would nice to have a "Male Version of Kat."   Fortunately, there appears to be a few fellas that are easy on the eyes, now if they can sing  . . . . " Co, will be hitting the redial without a problem."    There's definitely not any stand-outs among the female cast so far; however, I have a few I think will be moving on just by my first impression vibe.  Okay, I want to see this thread filling up - come on zzyzx, Margerth, Collette and a few others I saw post earlier. 

Also, new members - come on down and join the fun!

Okay I am in!
I re-watched the video on my Tivo.. and although none of these people even compare to Kat
I have my predicitions ready. (Without seeing them perfprm and be judged for the audience yet)

For the girls: I say Jordin Sparks will do best
and the top 6 will be:
Jordin Sparks- I just like her best
Alaina Alexander- Both she...
Antonella Barba- ..and she are pretty girls with cute personalities
Melinda Doolittle- Something about her makes me smile
Gina Glocksen- This girl is hard core
Lakisha Jones- Amazing voice

And for the guys: I think Chris Richardson will do best
and the top 6 will be:
Chris Richardson- he'll be like the Elliott Yamin ( I think?)
Blake Lewis- He'll be the Chris Daughtry "Shocking Loser"
Chris Sligh- His personality rocks!
Sanjaya Malakar- he is such a cutie
Phil Stacey- They have really played out his story
Nicholas Pedro- the judges seem to love him

That Sundance guy bugs the crap out of me though.
Maybe because he reminds me of a certain AI wonner that beat out my girl.

OK, OK...if you want to include picking who will be eliminated every week as well....AHHH, now I understand why you were saying something about having picks in by Wednesday.  But we won't find out who's gone with the guys until Thursday.  Why not just get everything in (guys & girls) by Thursday?

And yes...I'm working on some kind of a scoring system for forecasting the Top 12.  I think we're going to give everyone one set of performances to digest before having you make that leap into the pool of selecting your entire Top 12 (1 thru 12).

My early female favorite is Jordin Sparks as well.  I've noticed I'm not alone on that one.  I'm not sure about the guys but I do think Chris Sligh has a chance to do well because he has a good voice combined with a fun personality.  He's almost Taylor...just with a more mainstream sound and probably better dance moves.  Although I wonder if "quirky guy" can win two years in a row.  I don't think people wanted back-to-back beauty queens (Carrie & Kat) and that's why Katharine lost to Taylor.

Anyway...hope everyone joins in.  You can keep me busy figuring out all of the scores for this every week.  Although those people familar with me know I love that stuff so...whatever!

I wanted her to be the face of Sexy Hair because she represented everything that I had in my head for the brand: youth, beauty, talent, class, a young sophistication, and sexiness." -- Jim Morrison, CEO of Sexy Hair Products.

Ha! I picked Ms Sparks for the Top 3 right after seeing her audition. And I even made a point of putting it writing over on our sister site IdolsWild. Unfortunately the webmaster accidently deleted my post.

And I just have to support Antonella Barba, she's almost a neighbor (30 minutes away)! But I'm a bit miffed by the selection process this year because many of my early favorites were cast off by the judges, apparently because they didn't fit the AI6 script, while lesser talents were put through. Oh well!

I'm going to add a gratuitous plug here:

Our host Chad felt that all Idol contestants deserve a site like KMF, so he started IdolsWild as such a place, where each finalist will have their own own forum, a protected enviornment free from bashers and trolls. Why not stop by IdolsWild, sign up with your KMF screenname, and leave a few posts to help kick-start the site? Here's a LINK.

Hey Joe,  Okay for the first round only let's give people until Thursday, February 22 by 12 p.m. PST / 3 p.m. EST to submit (2 guys/2 girls) who they think gets the first boot, ouch! 
 
My early handicapping, based on a whim and not really knowing anyone yet:
 
Guys
Blake Lewis
Chris Sligh - Predicting will be in Top 4
Jared Cotter
Paul Kim - I'm voting because he lives in a town 10 miles away from me
Rudy Cardenas
Sanjaya Malakar
(The above would be the most diverse Top 6, which would be cool)
 
Girls
Gina Glocksen
Haley Scarnato - Has a Kat-likeness about her
Jordin Sparks - Prediciting Top 4
Leslie Hunt - I like her because she's different
Melinda Doolittle
Stephanie Edwards
 
I'm probably way off, but doing this just for fun right now.

I didn't see the first season, but after that I've always been pulling for two of the top three. Except last year when I only managed one pick in the top three. But what a pick she is!! ;>)

Haven't seen anyone to root for yet and I've watched most the auditions. Unfortunately, imo, they've been highlighting the people going home.

So, we're picking the people going home this week? Two guys & two girls? I'll get back to you after the shows...

Interesting to see your thoughts! I have no idea how the voting will go until I see the performances, but here are some early picks.

Guys

1. Chris Richardson (the only guy I like)

The rest of my guy picks are based on their popularity.

2. Blake Lewis (huge fanbase)

3. Chris Sligh (folks love his personality...I'm not feeling his voice)

4. Sundance (Great audition, decent personality, horrible in hollywood)

5. Sanjaya (For some reason, he has a sizable fanbase. Girls and guys alike adore his smile. Mediocre voice. Another Will Makar, except the talent pool is a little more narrow this year, so, unlike Will, he isn't overshadowed).

6. This is a toughy...It's a toss-up between Brandon Rogers, Jared Cotter, Phil Stacey, Rudy Gardenas, and Nicholas Pedro...lol Basically, I see AJ and Paul Kim going home tonight.

Girls

1. Antonella Barba (My favorite so far! I love her voice. It has a Mariahesque vibe to it. If anything should hurt her, it would be her personality and those wild internet pics...)

2. Leslie Hunt (Diskliked her audition, but I thought she had the most original version of Until You Come Back to Me in Hollywood week. Though still nowhere near Kat, I dug her voice)

3. Jordin Sparks (Seems to have the largest range of any contestant this year. Needs to bring more emotion and personality. I still say she should stick with a ballad)

4. Melinda Doolittle (One look at her, and you just want to root for her! Such a sweet personality and a pitch-perfect voice. The perfection may stand in the way of some of the more "raw" vocals that seem to be popular. It's not necessarily a good thing to have over-polished vocals.)

5. Gina Glocksen...(I STRONGLY dislike her voice and her personality, but she has a sizable fanbase...unfortunately).

6. For me this last place is a toss-up between Haley Scarnato and ALaina Alexander. I hated Alaina's off-key wailing of Without You during Hollywood week, but I re-watched her audition, and I quite liked her. She's now one of my favorites. Haley is plain, nondescript...no originality, but she has a good amount of fans for some reason. I see Amy Krebs, Sabrina Sloan, Stephanie Edwards, and Nicole Tranquillo going home. NOT my final predictions, but no on-screen time is a killer.

Haha, I'm brutal.

"4 walls and no you. The silence in this room is so loud...wow"--Kat McPhee, I Lost You

"I didn't see the crash that burnt the bridge, didn't see the missile that sank my loveship down..."--Kat McPhee, Dangerous

"Wanting you to be wanting me, no that ain't no way to be...You never were a friend of mine..."--Kat McPhee, Over It

"No more lonely nights to hurt me, no more tears left to spare, no more reasons to be unhappy. You threw them all up in the air..."--Kat McPhee, Each Other

antonella - she's very modern and today-ish.
alaina - i just like her voice a lot
gina - this girl just..rocks!
leslie - she is so quirky and different
melinda - she is just amazing!
lakisha - she's like the modern day aretha franklin, i'm telling you!

Ooh, better make this quick since the show starts in a few hours in the US.

The guys:

1. Sanjaya Malakar

2. Chris Sligh

3. Paul Kim

4. AJ Tabaldo (what can I say, I'm a sucker for Asian guys...)

5. Sundance Head (despite...everything)

6. Chris Richardson/Blake Lewis (I can't decide between these two)

The girls:

1. Melinda Doolittle

2. Lakisha Jones

3. Jordin Sparks

4. Antonella Barba

5. Gina Glocksen

6. Haley Scarnato

I actually like most, if not all of the guys, so the girls better pull their best game in their performance night! I wanna see a girl win this year; not another Kat, because she is so in her own league. That said, I can't wait for the show tonight!!! (you guys are 16 hours behind the Philippines, so this post is made mid-morning)


ALL YOU HATERS AND BASHERS, TAKE HEED!!!

"One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean, take her or leave her, she will still be the same..Only the curious have something to find, it's KATHARINE on this side."
