and here we go

So we're on our way to the big time. Members of the elusive Top 24 are being revealed slowly, and with plenty of useless personal sequences and Seacrest commentary. Just the way I like it.
Anyway, so far the "in" crowd -- those who got a "yes" -- has some standouts, including the brother half of the brother/sister duo. His sis was eliminated Tuesday. The Top 24 also has former backup singers Melinda Doolittle and Brandon Rodgers. Also getting an OK? Gina, the quasi-goth chick who has a crush on Simon. Oh, and remember "hoochie outfit" girl from auditions...Haley? Totally in. We can also look forward to seeing more of Phil, whose wife was giving labor while he auditioned, and Chris Sligh, the Jack Osbourne wannabe. And don't forget beat-box Blake and Latin stallion Rudy.
But tonight isn't without its share of disappointments, even though those eliminated so far have been mostly unknowns. So far, the most memorable boot has been handed to Anna Kerns, the freakishly tall chick.
Looks like size doesn't matter after all.
