I didn't get to see Tuesday's performances. So, I can't pick a favorite yet. But I need to do it early because every time I claim to like one of the finalists, people think I'm going with the flavor of the week or something. I was rooting for Kelly Clarkson and Christina Christian (despite her scary midget belly) early on in season 1.
I don't see anyone that jumps out at me as someone I want to root for. Right now there's 12 girls, 11 guys, and Sanjaya. I think he was lumped in with the boys.
I'm noticing funny names more than the talent so far. Aside from Sanjaya, we have Lakisha, Doolittle, Tranquillo, Glocksen, Krebs, Sundance Head, and of course, well-known porn star Jordin Sparks. Ok, she's not really a porn star, she's only 17. But isn't it the perfect name?
It says on the website that Melinda Doolittle and Phil Stacey are 29. I'm assuming they were 28 when they auditioned, kinda like Taylor Hicks last season. Even though he looked 50.
So far, three out of the first five girls I've looked at picked Mariah Carey as one of their favorite female artists (Final count: 5/12). Jordin Sparks? She likes Christina Timberlake. I really want to know if she said that, or the author of her profile. She also would like to "play piano by ear," which is a funny image if you take it literally. Stephanie Edwards apparently likes the duo of "Beyonce, Knowles." Boy, they need some editing done on these bios.
Back to favorites, here are the leaders:
The Girls like Justin Timberlake (4 votes), Stevie Wonder (4), Michael Jackson (3), Mariah (5), Christina Aguilera (3). Some got 2 votes and 1 which I'm too lazy to list.
The boys like Stevie Wonder (8!!), J-T (3), M-J (4), Beyonce (3), Mariah (3), Sade (3). There was one vote for Lauryn Hill as a favorite, but Nicholas Pedro just enjoys her music. The guys even more 1-votes because of indecisive Blake Lewis, who has a short list of:
Robbin Thicke, Jamaroqui, Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, U2, Gnarls Barkley, Half Past Forever, Michael Jackson, Prince, Sting, Eric Benet, Martin Sexton, Duncan Sheik, M-Pact, Bjork, Fiona Apple, Imogen Heap, Estmerd, Jill Scott, Tori Amos, Ella Fitzgerald and Sade.
Phil Stacey has quite the list too, which includes judge Paul Abdul. Way to hit that, Phil! And I know one of them (Paul Kim?) was going to sing barefoot all the time, but I hope Phil doesn't wear that stupid beanie anymore. We already had a guy who couldn't let go of a hat. Ace Young, I'm talkin to you.
I'm liking Chris Sligh. He put Blake Lewis and Gina Glocksen on his list. Talk about buttering up the competition! (Bad mental image of Chris eating lots of butter...) He's also a self-proclaimed great kisser and he pees before going on stage. Don't we all?
Ok, this is long enough. Maybe next week I'll have a favorite. I'll probably just add my predictions in with my blogs in weeks to come.

Chris TOTALLY reminds me of Eric, so I have to vote for him. And Sanjaya is so cute, but in a 5 year old way. But his voice would melt butter.
i have yet to see an episode this year.
oh and, hope you like Micheal Jackson. ^_^
