JPF member Kristin McNamara is in the Top 36. She was also a finalist on Nashville Star season 4. That's 2 Nashville Star finalists in the Top 36. I bet if Chris Young had gone to American Idol instead of Nashville Star he would have won that too.

I personally like Anoop a lot. I think Adam Lambert has that predictable Disney High School Musical look and vibe (sort of Zac Efron's looks meets Clay Aiken's musical and personality vibe). The legally blind artist sings as well as Daughtry (he was the only one to sing a former Idol song who matched (almost too perfectly) the original. I doubt Daughtry could have sang his own song as well when he was actually on the show. (Daughtry has developed his skills a great deal since then). The downside is that I haven't heard a lot of original sounding artists in the clips shown yet. A lot of typical Pop/R&B power vocals like every year.. a couple country singers.. a couple rock edged singers, but very little new. I am looking forward to them actually singing against each other so we can actually hear ALL of them (a few of these finalists have barely been shown if at all).

I was also glad to see the obvious plant taken out of the process. There's several others with direct connections still in it, but apparently that girl was so blatantly an insider even the shameless AI couldn't do it with a straight face.
