Spoiler Update: The List So Far, Plus Are Ann Marie Boskovich, Kristen McNamara, Von Lee Smith Or Ricky Braddy Top 50?
For the past couple of months I’ve been featuring Hollywood spoilers from Joesplace. With the new season of American Idol beginning in less than 24 hours, now is a good time to review what we know so far.In an attempt to keep it all straight, I’ve created a page with photos and information on all of the contestants rumored to have made the Top 50.
- Check out my Top 50 page HERE, or linked above in the header. I’ve also added a list of notable Hollywood contestants to the page.
FYI, Ann Marie Boskovich, Kristen McNamara and Von Lee Smith have all taken their music off-line–an indication that they may have made the Top 50 (All Top 50 contestants are required to take their music down by January)
And, according to this news article, Hollywood contestant Ricky Braddy is rumored to have made the Top 50.
Local band Outà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢n the Cold also stated in a recent band newsletter that Braddy is slated to appear on the show. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“One more hometown talent from the Elizabeth City area making it big … is young Mr. Ricky Braddy.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ The newsletter said. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Ricky is in the final 50 for this yearà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s ‘American Idol.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ So if you watch the show on Tuesday, 13 Jan., you might get a chance to hear him. Weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re mighty proud of you Ricky, and weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re pulling for you to make it to the finals; good luck.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬
The Top 50 list so far: Adam Lambert, Angela Martin, Felicia Barton, Brent Keith Smith, Jakob McKay, Jacklyn à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Jackieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ Tohn, Junot Joyner, Justin Williams, Kendall Beard, Lil Rounds, Michael Bartul, Reggi Beasley, Ryan P.A. Johnson, Stephen Fowler, Taylor Vaifanua, Terrence T.K. Hash.
I’ll be updating the list as we find out more…



A few things. I keep checking back at the myspaces of the rumored Top 50. Jackie Tohn still has music up as yet, but most of the others have taken it down.
That Rickey guy. Aren’t they under a veil of silence? How can his band newsletter be announcing he made the Top 50?
This article may or many not contain a spoiler about Ryan PA Johnson. It confirms he made it to Hollywood of course, but a band member claims Ryan told them he would be available for gigs in March.
One more. Sorry. An article from Omaha World where Idol wannabe Chris Bernheisel talks about Michael Castro.
However I assume this is the guys own belief and not a spoiler outside of that Michael went to Hollywood. As Michael has has music up and is talking about posting original music soon, I’m pretty sure the spoiler about him getting cut is legit.
If both Adam Lambert and Von Lee Smith make it, I expect an epic male diva showdown of hilarious preportions. LOL!
Yay for Ricky Braddy. Us North Carolinian’s haven’t had any homegrown talent to pull for in a couple years, after doing so well in the first five seasons or so. I’m looking forward to seeing him.
It’s either an Oopsie! or total crap. I’m not taking it as a sure sign that Braddy is Top 50, but I thought it was interesting…
^^So excited to see that, as long as it doesn’t get TOO out of hand lol (ie, if they start sucking, they need to be gone by Top 5)
Note that Ricky lives in Nashville (and has for some time); the band quoted in the article is from his hometown in NC, not ‘his’ band…
“As Michael has has music up and is talking about posting original music soon, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m pretty sure the spoiler about him getting cut is legit.”
How funny, I was just going on here to find out if the previous spoiler on here about Michael, was true or not? Awwww – I wanted to see him get at least top 50
