Wow. Watching those back. Wow.

Ace, Chris, Taylor, and Elliot are the only guys who have a CHANCE of cracking the top two.

And I think saying that about Chris is stretching it.

The rest are NOT good enough. Not even CLOSE.

Very true!! Great talent there with the names u mentioned..especially Taylor and Elliot.

They say it every year, but I think this year it will actually live up to the hype. BEST. YEAR. YET!

Wow. I'm surprised I'm disagreeing with you guys.

I think we had some GREAT girls. The guys were a little better. I almost always think the opposite, so... LOL. Go figure.

I totally agree with you Drew, on who the top 12 will be.

Something about Taylor bugs me though. He sang good, but eh, he doesn't do it for me. Unfortunately, in polls and such he's really popular.

I do agree with Mike. This is one of the worst top 24's we've had... hell, last season's was better, IMO.

Wow. Lots of mixed reactions on Taylor. I, personally, like him. He's not much to look at, but he seems really down to earth and I think he has a great voice. He cracks me up too. He doesn't seem fake like Brenna or Kellie.

Yeah. ITA.

I don't think this season will get truly unpredictable until the final four or five. Usually at 7 or 8, there's a "shock." I don't know. Not this year. This year is going to have one of the most talented final four's, IMO. But not the best top 24 or 12. Oy.

EXACTLY!! He is a down to earth man with ALOT of soul and uniqueness!!

Taylor is my favorite guy....personality-wise.

What annoyed me about Taylor was that he WAS mugging the camera. People who do that always bug me. LOL... Other than that. Eh.

Mike, ITA. The final four could be pretty good. Other than that, we'll see. I think it's fairly obvious who will end up in the top 12 and from there we can pretty much make a fair assumption of who will be in the end.

Predictions for the boots?

MEN: Gideon & Patrick (maybe Bucky. Frankly, he's totally forgettable)

WOMEN: Stevie & Heather

I agree Krypton, I like Taylor, but then I don't like him. I find myself laughing when he's performing, but it's not because I'm entertained by him (as a singer), but because of the way he moves on stage. Does he have some type of mental illness? That's the vibe I'm getting and I feel bad to laugh at that, but I do.

I just think Taylor is weird. Straight up - I could see him molesting children or something...haha. He's just creepy to me - I don't know. Oh and him playing that harmonica made me cringe bc it was so awkward.

I guess I'm in the minority though. Oh well.

BOOT PREDICTIONS:

MEN - Bucky, David

WOMEN - Stevie, Heather

Holy!! That was uncalled for Andy!!

I thought that before...for like a moment..but then realized that is the way he is. He is just unique!!

lol - no it's not - that's just how I feel.

Pretty rank if u ask me!!

Lol, I didn't get the "Chester, Chester child molester" vibe from him, but I agree he is weird. He just looks so old. I mean, for him to be 29, couldn't he do something to look younger? I guess he's just comfortable with his appearance and doesn't want to change for anyone. I like that about him.
