Idol 11: The 13 Finalists

Two hours! Are you kidding me? American Idol does love to milk a results show for all it's worth (and plenty it isn't worth).

Okay, I confess. I fell asleep on the sofa and missed a good portion of the first 75 minutes. Woke up in time to see Jermaine take the last slot in the top 10 (chosen by the viewer votes). Forty-five minutes remained for six contestants to sing for their lives and the remaining thee wild card slots. Lots of time for me to go back and catch up for this post.

Here are the 13 finalists' photos, alphabetical by last name:

DeAndre Brackensick | Hollie Cavanagh | Colton Dixon

Heejun Han | Jermaine Jones | Skylar Laine

Joshua Ledet | Shannon Magrane | Phillip Phillips

Jeremy Rosado | Jessica Sanchez

Elise Testone | Erika Van Pelt

Good luck, kids.

Thanks. I just couldn't take another milking show...Looks like an interesting and talented group.

The two hour thing is just ridiculous - they could do it all in an hour badabing, badaboom.

I was okay with the choices but there isn't anyone that I am very excited about. I do like Shannon, Skylar and Phillip Phillips (cause I am amused by his name :-)) so will watch to see how they do.

Yes, they could have done it in an hour and still have had time for padding. I'm not excited about anyone yet, but I do think they have lots of talent in the final 13.

Coming in November 2012: BETRAYAL When my publisher, Zondervan, sent me the cover for my next release, Betrayal, my breath caught in my chest. I loved it the instant I saw it, and I still feel the same way now. The cover designer captured Hugh so perfectly. Makes me impatient for the book's release. Not a good thing since there is much work still to be done on it––macro edit to complete, followed by line edit, copy edit, and page proofs. I have held off...
