UPDATE: Huzzah! Five of my horses have made it to the finals. I’m gonna ride the Dolittle and Sligh train all the way to victory lane. Five out of six! And I even picked Sanjaya! I am a predicting genius. Kreskin ain’t got nothing on me! Recognize.

The fun part can now begin. We have our Top 24 and it’s up to us not to screw it up like we did the last time (suck it, Taylor Hicks. Think maybe Chris Daughtry might have been a better way to go, America? Sometimes I wish I were Canadian.). I love this part of the show because I can finally just pick my horses and ride them to the finish. So while it may be exceedingly early for Finale predictions, and these six people may not even make it to the Top 12, for my money, these are the (and my) early American Idol favorites. In picture order: Chris Sligh, Amy Krebs, Brandon Rogers, Hayley Scarnato, Sanjaya Malakar, Melinda Dolittle.
