We've been meeting tons of IDOL favorites over the past few days.  All the contestants have been super friendly.  Of course, we had our camera handy to take a few pics.

I met the Top 12 from the season last night.  I asked each one who'll win, but no one would choose a David!  So, we'll just have to find out ourselves tonight.

Nadia Turner, Season 4

Chickizie Season 7 (I loved this guy!)

Michael Johns, Season 7

Jason Castro, Season 7 (He's from TEXAS, he wore cowboy boots on the red carpet!)

Ramiele, Season 7

Amanda Overmyer, Season 7

And, of course, Paula

Here in Los Angeles (as probably everywhere else in the country),  the big question is which David will it be?  I've heard both sides arguing for either 17 year old pop singer David Archuleta (fellow contestants all him Archie) or 25 year old rocker David Cook (also known as Cookie to fellow contestants).

Last night's show was incredible.  I sat in the live audience and was blown away!  The quality of these contestants voices is so much stronger than what you hear in your living room.  These guys are so talented--really.   I hate to sound like Paula, but, yes, even I got goosebumps listening to these guys sing their hearts out.

While the judges weren't so happy with David Cook's performances/song choices, they absolutely raved about Archuleta.  I must have missed something because I thought DC looked and sounded like he belonged there.  Tonight will be interesting.

I'm off to get dressed for Red Carpet events.... expect to see Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, among other AI favorites...

Call me a morning person, or just plain crazy! I get to work when most people are still sleeping, to bring you the latest news of the morning. And, sometimes, you can catch us having a little fun, too! Wake up to Fox 7 News Edge in the Morning, every weekday from 5 to 9 a.m. I'd love to be part of your routine!
