I agree with Adam (what a high tenor!), Danny and Anoop - all have a good shot at the top 12. Matt wasn't memorable to me; I think you mean Michael Sarver - who is also pretty darn good.

The only one of the judge's choices I disagreed with strongly was Nathaniel Marshall, the whiney, crying pimple-faced kid with the body piercings and terrible taste in clothes. He's simply not that good of a singer and isn't charismatic, but still made it to the top 36.

I thought Danny Gokey's buddy (who also had a few body piercings) was a way better singer than Nathaniel, but they didn't put him through. Nathaniel will make for "better TV", no doubt. He'll probably be this year's Sanjaya.

I even agreed with the Paula that America will either love or hate Nick Mitchell (the guy who can't figure out which persona he wants to be) - he's definitely NOT my cup of tea, but who knows how the vote will go. He actually is a decent singer though, so we'll have to see.

Tatiana was the other one that stuck out for me. Yeah, she's pretty ditzy, but she's got a heck of a voice. I just question her emotional maturity. She's acts like she's 15, but is 23.

Those are the most memorable ones to me. Now they'll do groups of 12 to narrow it down from the 36.
