American Idol' judge Paula Abdul thinks a guy will win eighth season

By Christopher Rocchio, 02/09/2009

All four American Idol judges are now in agreement that the eighth season's male contestants are stronger than their female counterparts.

"I think a guy is going to win," Paula Abdul told The Los Angeles Times prior to Sunday night's Grammy Awards ceremony. "There are more guys than girls. There are a handful of great girls, but the guys are really great."

Abdul joins fellow Idol judges Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson in claiming the males have the edge.

Cowell stated last month that he was "100%" sure a guy would win Idol's eighth season; DioGuardi subsequently told reporters during a conference call that "the males were the strongest;" and Jackson follow suit by stating last month that the "boys have the edge."

Idol's coverage of the eighth season's Hollywood Week will continue with Tuesday's broadcast of the week's third-round performances.

Although their identities appear to have already leaked online, Idol will formally reveal the eighth season's Top 36 semifinalists during next Wednesday's broadcast.

"It's going to be a colorful season," Abdul told The Times.  "Lots of fun. And seriously great singers too."

Reminder: American Idol is a two hour show tonight!  :hearts:

We'll see the final cut from 54 to 36.

I still don't get how Tantiana makes Top 36. She was... hell. (:;)

The Idol producers gave her such a bad edit that i'm sure half of America hates her now.
And why Top 36? When we have always been doing fine with Top 24?
Sigh, i like the introducing of Wildcard Round back.. but why can't the judges just get rid of another 12 who didn't make the cut and spare us the voteoff of another 12 contestants? Saves so much time!

 :duno: :duno:

I agree, top 54? We don't even know who they all are!  I really and truly am praying Tatiana doesn't make the cut, you just KNOW she'll be the VFTW pick.  :groan:

And they are changing it to become Top 36, splitted into 3 groups of 12 and then the top 3 votes from each group will move on to the top 12? I don't really like that. It's just base on ONE vote and then the contestant will be certified a top 12 spot. And the one who has to go through the wildcard round actually has another chance to perform and more screen and airtime and possibly another chance to WOW America, which is actually a disadvantage to the more popular contestants who got through to the top 12 straight away.

I love the format of the top 24 that we have had since season 4, just that they had to think of a way to add the wildcard in. Or why can't they just get a top 24, have 8 perform each night (longer songs to let us hear them more and more of their talent!) and 3 will make it? That will saves the viewers the trouble of having to select out of so many contestants to vote!!

This season is getting weird all over again.

I missed that, choosing the top 3 who then go to the top 12? I don't like that either. I hope it isn't what they do.

I was checking off the names from leaked list, did Allison Iraheta make it through?

Since this is the spoiler thread, all of the names leaked were accurate except for these:

Nick Western has to be Nick Mitchell aka Norman Gentle.  :jumpy: He'll be a hoot.

Michael *unsure of last name- probably Michael Bartul is Michael Sarver

American Idol Top 36 Revealed!

Auditions ended tonight for the eighth season as the Top 36 semi-finalists were revealed by Simon, Paula, Randy and Kara.

NOW, that would be good. A top male, a top female and a top vote receipient. Now i have nothing to say about weird voting methods. This seems more appropriate.

Hot damn, Joanna Pacitti has been disqualified from American Idol! Our work has finally paid off!

It has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition. AMERICAN IDOL contestant Felicia Barton has replaced Ms. Pacitti as part of the Top 36, L.A. Times reports.

A source close to the show now tells us that Pacitti was disqualified to "avoid the appearance of impropriety." (meaning they got caught planting her... the other plants haven't been caught yet and stay on the show)

In the past week, tabloids had been reporting on a private relationship between Pacitti and executives of 19 Management - one of the companies which oversees Idol.

How awesome is this? We finally helped get one of the plants kicked to the curb and someone like Felicia who actually deserves a shot is given one. Win win all around. VFTW Victory!

Wow, VFTW is just so hateful. :duno:

Wow, they really ARE hateful! I can't place Felicia Barton at all.

Joanna Pacitti was actually good, but just forgot too much lyrics. Maybe Don't Forget The Lyrics will be a better show for her. :funny:

But then VFTW are actually contemplating on Tatiana, Nathaniel, Von Smith and Nick to be their weekly picks for the next 3 weeks. (:;) :knuckles:
