Can’t wait to find out who’ll make it to the next round? Here are the American Idol contestants who have been rumored to make it to the top 50. Skip reading this entry if you don’t want any American Idol season 8 spoilers!
Adam Lambert
Los Angeles native Adam Lambert has that 90’s grunge look going on for him, which I love. He’s got amazing range and vocal ability but I have a feeling that he’s not cut out for the world of pop music. Whatever happens, I do hope his music career goes well.
Ann Marie Boskovich
Ann Marie Boskovich has had quite a bit of experience – she sang the theme for The Little Mermaid 2 and “God Bless America” for the NBA All Star Game in 2003. But she’s barely twinkling in a competitive world of bigger, brighter stars. I wonder how far she’ll get in the show.
More spoilers under the cut!
Jackie Tohn
It seems like there are more and more people with TV and prior experience in the music industry here in American Idol. Jackie Tohn has her own Wikipedia page and starred in small roles in several films and TV shows like The Sopranos, Veronica Mars, The Nanny, Angel, and Strangers with Candy. Besides that, she released an EP in 2005, performed acoustic shows in LA and New York, and has experience in musical theater. How will the more inexperienced contestants fare next to her?
Jesse Mccullagh
The judges picked out this gem from the New Jersey/New York auditions. Jesse Mccullagn is an acoustic singer/songwriter who belongs to a band called The Gentleman Outfit.
Kristen McNamara
23-year old Kristen MacNamara was a previous Nashville Star and Star Search contestant. She’s also a regular National Anthem singer at 49er games and according to her bio, she’s currently finishing an indie record. I’m not a very big fan of blond country singers, though.
Scott Douglas MacIntyre
Scott is the piano-playing blind guy, and it’s going to be very interesting to see him on the show. He claims to have produced and recorded six albums!

FYI – Kristen McNamara is working with John Stewart, a weird LA type in some mediocre stuff with interesting friends (www.myspace.com/johnstewartmusic) she also kept running out of breath on nashville star – could be due to her weight and other issues. i’m surprised that she made it to the 50. they must need the “blond country singer/comedienne/actress haha dropout” to complete their roster. after she lost NS i guess she lost her “love” of country music and the people who supported her and has decided to be a pop singer haha
