American Idol 8 top 36 leaked: American Idol season 8 top 36


The names of the top 36 American Idol 8 / American Idol season 8 contestants have allegedly been leaked online! Yup, an anonymous blogger who goes by the pseudonym of "Joe" (how unique!) with online residence at Joes Place Blog is claiming that the following list of 36 American Idol hopefuls made it through Hollywood week and are, in fact, the American Idol 8 Top 36.

For the first time in its history, American Idol 8 will feature 36 semifinalists compared to the usual 24 from Hollywood week. As a result, 12 different semifinalists will be performing every Tuesday with the male, female, and the next top vote getter with the

highest number of votes making it into the top 12. From there, the weekly elimination will ensue based on America's votes until the winner is revealed in May. This season will also feature the return of the "wildcard" round last used in American Idol Season 3 with the judges choosing three eliminated contestants to advance to the finals.

There are reports that "Joe" is the same guy who successfully revealed the top semifinalists last year. If it's true then this year's American Idol top 36 leak is credible. I remember the leakage from last year but I cannot recall who made it, or if there was someone identified as its source. Anyway, here are the names of the American Idol 8 Top 36 according to Joes Place Blog (You can read more about it from there):
