Meet the Contestants, Part 4

Just in case you need a little refresher course in who these fools are:


Lakisha Jones
27, Fort Meade MD
Single mom, single mom, and, oh yes, she's a single mom. Simon loved her audition and called her a "good old-fashined belter." Apparently she doesn't like any male singers, but she does like Kelly Clarkson.



Leslie Hunt
24, Chicago IL
Based soley on Wednesday night, she's not that great of a singer and has a big ol' underbite. She has LUPUS. Loves Nina Simone, Aretha, Stevie, Michael Jackson, Radiohead, Fiona Apple, and Bjork.



Nicholas Pedro
25, Taunton MA
Made it to Hollywood last year but "bowed out" before the judges had a chance to cut him when he utterly forgot his words in the group round. Made it this year because in general the crop is weaker and also because he has the bland cuteness of a boy band member.



Paul Kim
25, Saratoga CA
Hates William Hung. Breathy and affected in the voice, if you ask me. Steadfastly refuses to change his undies OR wear socks or shoes until he's named the American Idol. Likes Stevie, Mariah, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Donny Hathaway.

Thanks for these breakdowns.

I can already tell I'm going to suck at this but I've narrowed my list down substantially thanks to these lists.

(I'm now down from about 8 possibles to 2 solid choices with about 7 folks vying for the 3rd position).

Glad to be of service.

You know, one thing I just realized: no country singers this year. That's a change of pace from the last two years.
