Lil Rounds
Randy, Simon, and Ryan Predict the Final Three on Jay Leno 3/23
Idol Staffer Says She Knows The Final Four
The New York Daily News reports that an Idol staffer is running around telling anyone who will listen that she knows the final 4 contestants for American Idol season 8. This staffer purports that the final 4 this year is going to be Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, and Alexis Grace. When asked if this was just the staff member's opinion, she stated, “Those ARE the people,” and that it wasn't speculation. The staffer also says the show wants to see Danny or Alexis win because they have new stories. She claims Adam and Lil are too much like past finalists Chris Daughtry and Mantasia. We can see the Mantasia comparison, but Daughtry? We guess Daughtry's wife really is a beard then. So what do you think? Will Danny, Adam, Lil, and Alexis be the final 4?
American Idol 8 Contestants' Secret Talents
Of course our girl Megan has an amazingly talented tongue! And Matt Giraud's impression of Adam Lambert is spot on. Nice work, Matt! Why does Gokey think that farting out his mouth is a talent? We've all seen him do it every week on the show, but there he calls it "singing" for some reason.
Predictably Scott, Lil, and Jorge Make It... TATIANA BETTER MAKE WILDCARD
The 3 spots decided tonight were easy as hell to predict- Lil, Scott, and Jorge. But thankfully the wildcard is now hopefully going to get Tatiana in the top 12.
The wildcards selected tonight to sing tomorrow: TATIANA DEL TORO, Von Smith, Jasmine Murray, Ricky Braddy, Megan Corkrey, Matt Giraud, Jesse Langseth, Anoop Desai. Oh God, let's hope Tatiana makes it. She is pure perfection. Perfection. Idol, this is your last chance at getting this right.
JoesPlace Top 36 Update 1/29
JoesPlace has updated her top 36 list to include Kendall Beard, Felicia Barton, and Adam Lambert, as well as the previously spoiled Lil Rounds. JP is more reliable than the list we got via e-mail of course, so we'll say she's probably right. Felicia Barton is on this list, while she's not on the other one.
Edit: And just after we post this, we're now sure Felicia is not on the list. She's not in the top 36. Probably so some plant like Joanna could be.
Full List of the American Idol 8 Top 36 (stickied)
A list of the top 36 was just sent to us via e-mail. How reliable is this list? It looks like it! We've talked to JoesPlace and done some more research and we're all pretty sure this is right. Thanks to JP for helping us out with this, we make a good team. So here you go, without further ado, more likely than not, your top 36 (click read more for the list). That's a pretty big spoiler!

American Idol 8 - Top 36 Spoiler - Lil Rounds
It's our first top 36 spoiler of the season. We just received an anonymous tip that Lil Rounds definitely makes the top 36. That means viewers will have a chance to vote her in to the top 12 or not. This seems pretty plausible, as Lil was overly pimped in the audition episode, so this spoiler seems like it'll be correct. If you have any more tips for us out there, send us an e-mail and let us know.
American Idol 8 Top 50 Spoiler - Lil Rounds
Another person JoesPlace added to the top 50 list the other day was Lil Rounds. Rumor has it that she was one of only 2 people to get a standing ovation in Hollywood and that she is the third person singing in this commercial. Sadly "Lil" is not a shortened name for Little (as in Lil Kim or Lil Mama), it's just short for Lillian. Hopefully she'll have some personality, because so far she seems a little boring.
Randy, Simon, and Ryan were on Jay Leno last night and they basically stated that Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, and Lil Rounds would be the final 3. Boring and predictable. Though at least if Adam keeps camping it up, that'll keep it watchable. So now we know who Simon and Randy will use the judges' save on (as if we didn't know already).
