Potential Top 16 *** SPOILERS ***

[BuckeyeAddict]

Somebody in another forum has been doing a lot of digging, has gotten some info from sources, and has made some determinations based on how some contestants have been presented. He has stated who he thinks (and is sometimes pretty sure) who is in the top 16. I should add that he was not 100% correct in his top 32 predictions.

Overs:
Dexter Haygood
Josh Krajcik
Stacy Francis
Leroy Bell or Elaine Gibbs - more likely Leroy

The large group they made up of individuals who didn't make the boy or group top 8 (named themselved InTENsity)

Boys:
Brian Bradley
Chris Rene
Marcus Canty
Phillip Lomax, probably, but Skyelor Anderson and Nick Voss are not ruled out yet

Girls (this guy is least certain of these):
Rachel Crow
Simone Battle
Tora Woolshin
Melanie Amaro
He has no info on Drew, Tiah, or Jazzlyn. So he could be really off on this one.

I know this show (like all reality comps) needs "filler," or contestants that are pretty awful and don't have a shot in hell of winning but some of these people are just offensive in a serious top 16:
Simone wannabe beyonce is garbage. She forgot all the words in her final audition--when did that become acceptable?Plus, no one likes her because of her attitude (she has all "dislikes" on the official site).
Stacey Francis is so boring--and shes not a diva singer. I just dont get the judge love.

Feel free to add to my list.
I think a must for any top 16 is Drew--she is incredibly talented.

And I almost forgot--why did Stacy announce as "something to know about yourself" that her father died the first day of boot camp--seriously? That's so low. Someone losing their life is not an announcement to gather pity votes--its a huge loss and not something for ratings. She should be ashamed of herself...Im ashamed for her and her family.

People on shows like this come up with all kinds of sob story lows and other crap to get pity votes. And since the voting public is stupid enough to keep falling for them, people keep bringing them.

That really stunned me too. It should have been a private thing. I had all kinds of respect for David Cook for keeping his brother's brain cancer as quiet as he could, without going too far and ignoring him.

I pretty much agreed with your previous post too, except I sort of like Simone a little. I'd gladly trade her for Drew, though. Simone seems more like somebody who'd be in a group like The Pussycat Dolls. She's a sexy little thing, but not really a standout. And she did butcher "Your Song." Maybe forgetting the lyrics is only the kiss of death if they're looking for a reason to get rid of somebody.

Stacy Francis could be a ringer. Someone told me that Stacy Francis has had a fairly successful career and she is trying to revive it. I went checking and sure enough she has been in several Broadway and off-Broadway musicals. Plus she was in the girl band Ex-Girlfriends which was signed to a record label in the nineties. None of this has been discuss on X-Factor. Interesting!!!

I read a spoiler that matches up to this. For the girls, the spoiler I read indicated that Drew, Tiah, and Jazzlyn are out.

I really like the group of girls that was thrown together. "Born this Way" is what they sang tonight. They have good harmony

I agree - and I liked them A LOT more than InTENsity. I hope that spoiler is wrong! But maybe X-Factor is trying to compete with Disney.

That makes me sad. I LOVE Jazzlyn.
