FAVORITE IDOL CONTESTANTS:

~ I so love watching american Idol! I'm such a sucker for singing contest and raw talents. Here are my favorite A. I. contestants so far, I especially love love DANNY GOKEY!!!!


MICHAEL SARVER
Age: 27
Hometown: Jasper, Texas
He's an oil-rig roughneck with a voice – and a 3-year-old daughter. Of his all-American appeal, Sarver says, "Real life people can relate to me, especially in the economy and the day that we live. It’s very difficult for a lot of people, and I see it as a chance to see someone rise from the ashes."



ADAM LAMBERT
Age: 26
Hometown: Los Angeles
He's got the look of a rocker – and the voice! After bringing down the house with his super-slick performance of "Satisfacition," Paula Abdul said she'd been transported to an Adam Lambert concert. Well, he's got the experience – apart from singing since he was 10 years old, Lambert was in the cast of Wicked



ALLISON IRAHETA
Age: 16
Hometown: Los Angeles
She's still a teenager, but her powerhouse performance of Heart's "Alone" made her a shoo-in for the Top 12. "She blew it out the box," judge Randy Jackson said at the time. Kara DioGuardi told her, "You don’t even know how good you are." Maybe not, but she says she's been waiting for the chance to audition for the show since she was 9.

DANNY GOKEY
Age: 28
Hometown: Milwaukee
He won over hearts with his tragic story of loss. But the church music director, whose wife died just weeks before his Idol audition, won over the judges and voters with his cover of Mariah Carey's "Hero." "My wife would be telling all her friends," Gokey told reporters. "She'd just be so happy."
