American Idol Recap: The Best of the Best?

American Idol, Episode 17: "Top Ten Revealed"


There you have it.  With plenty of fanfare, but little surprises, the season 12 top 10 were announced.  One by one, Ryan led each revealed finalist through a cramped hallway before leading them out onto the Idol stage for the big reveal.  It was creepy to watch Ryan trying to keep step with the contestants as they made their way to reveal and hilarious when he had to take off backstage if they revealed multiple contestants in each segment.  After the reveal, each finalist performed a "victory song."  It was all pretty paint by numbers and what Idol did in an hour and a half could have been done in 30 minutes.  

So, without further adieu, here are your season 12 Idol top ten finalists:

Lazaro Arbos
Amber Holcomb
Paul Jolley
Curtis Finch, Jr
Janelle Arthur
Kree Harrison
Devin Velez
Burnell Taylor
Angie Miller
Candice Glover

While I wasn't thrilled with the reveal/victory song/repeat format, I was glad that it gave me the chance to witness Candice Glover's throw two gospel hands/swoon/shout nonsensical things/crazy ridiculously good cover of Rose Royce's "I'm Going Down."  If you missed it, here it is:


So, what did you guys think?  Do you agree with the top 10?  Is there anyone you wish would've made it that didn't?  Let me know in the comments.
