American Idol’s First Three Finalists

Season eight of American Idol has just named its first three finalist early tonight. One of them is potentially going to be a big star, based on how much exposure he is getting already.

First to make it to Top 12 is Alexis Grace who wowed the judges with an Aretha Franklin song. Next up was Michael Sarver who wasn’t exactly the best last night, but seemed to be too likeable, Simon Cowell predicted the audience will vote for him for it. And the judge from Britain was right. Third up was Danny Gokey, whose climb to Top 12 comes as no surprise. He was heavily favored as early as his first audition and it helps he has a very familiar face (hello, Robert Downey, Jr!).

Are you happy with tonight’s results?
