American Idol Snap Judgments: Pop and Buzz Pick the Top 12
American Idol announced its top 24 last night, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for irrational predictions! Last year, Pop and I faced off with our snap judgments about which of the 24 semi-finalists would make it to the finals, and we had so much fun taunting each other about it that we decided to do it again this time around.
This year's a little tricky because we've hardly seen half of these guys, and a few of the girls haven't had much screen time, either.
