Why pick Lee? He'd been pretty much unseen until he was featured as one of the seven early-admittance choices to make the Top 24 on Tuesday. I have an odd feeling that semi-prominent spotlight makes him a dark-horse.Why not? While his Hollywood rendition of "You Found Me" turned out pretty great, the show focused on his lyric-flubbing at the beginning.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, Ben Harper, Sarah McLachlan, Katy Perry
Why pick Lacy? This season's requisite red/pink-haired contestant was a Season 8 reject who has shown a collected professionalism this year.
Why not? We haven't seen a ton of her singing.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Pete Yorn, Patsy Cline

Why pick Katie? She's been featured in countless show promos/montages/roundups of the major contenders. She can certainly sing. Her personal story (Grandma w/ Alzheimers) is pretty bulletproof. You don't hate grandmas, do you???
Why not? Among the good singers, she's pretty bland.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Jason Mraz, Whitney Houston, Taylor Swift

Why pick Katelyn? She had a super-hot audition with a Duffy song that no one seems to remember but me.
Why not? Beyond her super-memorable giant hair, I'm not sure how memorable her vocals have been for everyone.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Stevie Wonder, Karen O, Radiohead, Wilco, Jack White

Why pick John? His audition, which had Shania Twain babbling and smitten, was one of the best moments of the season. He's totally cute and can sing for real.
Why not? We didn't get to hear him sing at all in Hollywood. Dark horse or fading?
Favorite artists/inspirations: Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Jamie Cullum, John Legend, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone, Gavin DeGraw

Why pick Joe? Um...you thought his version of "Man in the Mirror" in Hollywood was better than the dozen other ones?
Why not? That's the only time we've ever seen him.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Michael Buble, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, The Beatles

Why pick Jermaine? His audition performance of Joan Osborne's "One of Us" got a lot of attention, and he's shown himself to have a great voice.
Why not? Those vocals have also been embellished out to here, and he threw the band under the bus in Hollywood.
Favorite artists/inspirations: Stevie Wonder, Patti LaBelle, Donny Hathaway, Aretha Franklin, Kelly Price

Why pick Janell? Her acoustic "American Boy" in Hollywood was a scene-stealer. Pretty blonde girls are always a good bet.
Why not? She turned in an awful "Love Story" in her last performance, and showed herself to be the kind of overly-verbal that earned Brooke White some detractors. Plus, she's dating Tim Tebow? Look for her to be the pretty blonde with lots of haters. (Though those girls tend to do well.)
Favorite artists/inspirations: Stevie Nicks, Journey, Shania Twain, Williw Nelson, Johnny Cash, Spice Girls
