More Hollywood round spoilers for you, kids! (check out yesterday’s post HERE.) King Julien over at Idol Forums has dug up more names for the list of potential Hollywood Week contestants. I did a cursory check of the names, and they appear to be legit. Unfortunately, you have to be a member of Idol Forums to see them, but I’ll pull out some of the highlights for y’all.
- David Osmond - Yep, he’s from THAT Osmond family. David lives in Provo Utah, is the 4th son of Alan and Suzanne Osmond, nephew of Donny and Marie Osmond, and the lead singer of the Osmond Second Generation since he was 4. Yeah, seriously–the children of the original Osmonds sing in a band! On a serious note, he’s battled the West Nile Virus, leaving him with a form of MS. Whoa, dude’s going to have a double whammy backstory! And he’s married. Check out his website for more, right HERE and HERE. Official site of the Osmond Family HERE. I ran a domain search on davidosmond, and he’s got as many iterations of his name registered as he could think of, including, americianidoldavidosmond.com and davidosmondamericanidol.com.
- Jacklyn “Jackie” Tohn - She has a Wikipedia page, and a list of credits for small TV and film roles, including The Nanny, The Sopranos, Strangers with Candy, Angel, Veronica Mars and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. She’s done musical theater, released an EP in 2005, and performed acoustic shows in and around LA and NYC. Links: Myspace Website
- Danielle “Danni” Roundtree - Danni was Miss New York, USA 2008. Links: My Space My Space Music Miss USA NBC.
- Tom Korbee and Jennifer “Jen” Korbee - A husband and wife made it to Hollywood–for the first time, I believe. Can’t wait to witness the meltdown when one of them is eliminated! Good stuff! I vote for the husband biting it first. The song he’s got playing on his website, “American Son” is third-rate Springsteen-lite. Wife Jennifer fares much better with the pleasant singer-songwriter material she’s got on her website. Jennifer previously released the out-of-print album, “Give a Girl a Reason”, and starred in a childrens show, Hi-5. More links: Tom My Space Face Book, Jennifer My Space Wiki.
- Tatiana Nicole Del Toro - Espanol!
- Michael Sarver - Hardcore! not exactly Idol material.
- Nate Marshall - Seriously annoying music
- Lacey Brown - Seriously NOT annoying music. check her out, she’s good.
Note: Felicia Barton, from yesterday’s list, is worth noting. Be sure to check out her My Space.
Update: Apparently, nobody spotted S7 Top 50 contestant Colton Swon, who is rumored to have made it to the judges round, in Hollywood. He may be out of the running.
I agree, both quite possibly made it to Hollywood based on what they have on their resume, but there is no conclusive evidence yet. (I’d say Lara is quite likely as she had been confirmed as making the judges and they rarely pass on someone with quite the resume she has, while Raquel is only listed as passing round 1 so far…)
Oh, I didn’t know Brett had MS. Thanks, Shelly and Celeste.
BTW- I am not sure David A. has ever even met David Osmond. Donny lives in Utah, but the other Osmond brothers and their kids don’t live there. I am pretty sure David A. was talking about the family friend Brett.
I have heard David Osmond on some inspirational songs but nothing else, so I am not going to judge him. I hope people will have an open mind and not prejudge him because they think he is a plant or because he has a famous family. He has been part of a band for years, but AI is really about breaking out as a solo artist.
I think his last name is a turn off for a lot a people, especially since Marie was on DWTS. People will think that he doesn’t need the contest with his family connections so I honestly think he would go further if he didn’t have the name recognition.
Thank you all for answering my question about the “plants”.
Regarding David Osmond. I have seen David perform on a few occasions. Mark my words…. David Osmond will make the top 10 for sure and has the talent to win it all. Most people hear the name and automatically think bubble gum. David will give the Osmond name a whole new image and will blow people away.
Didn’t they share a stage at some Osmond function a few weeks ago?
Your “Hardcore” link for Michael Sarver is wrong. Apparently there are two Michael Sarvers. The AI Michael is from Jasper, TX… not Los Angeles.
