American Idol 7 - Top 24 Guys - Preview

Here are the ones to look out for tonight on American Idol:

Michael Johns -- originally from Australia, Michael Johns is a tennis player and former lead singer of the band "The Rising". One of the so called "pros" in this year's competition. Michael Johns put himself as one of the guys to beat after singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" during Hollywood Week.

Listen:

David Archuleta -- winner of StarSearch at age 12. David Archuleta gave a stunning rendition of "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" in front of Kelly Clarkson. He's a shoo-in for the Top 12, but don't forget to vote for him just in case. Sang "Heaven" during Hollywood Week which made the backup singers cry. Go David!

Listen:

Danny Noriega -- Danny Noriega is not afraid to be himself on American Idol. Sang "Proud Mary" during his audition. He said that he wants to be the American Idol "to represent a different crowd, he wants to show people that you can be true to yourself and be different and still make it." Go Danny!

David Hernandez -- was a finalist in Arizona Idol (the same contest American Idol winner Jordin Sparks joined). Sang "Love The One You're With" during Hollywood Week and wowed the judges.

Listen:

David Cook -- is being groomed as a Chris Daughtry clone.

Robbie Carrico -- former member of the boyband Boyz and Girlz United. Once dated Britney Spears.

Luke Menard -- Luke Menard belongs to the acapella group Chapter6. He had zero visibility so far on American Idol, so tonight will be his musical debut. If the clips on the Internet are any indication of his talent, Luke Menard should perform well. Go Luke! Fight!

Chikezie Eze -- has an alliterative cute name.

Colton Berry -- the last guy to be chosen for the Top 24. His chances look bleak.

Jason Yeager -- cried when he was chosen for the Top 24. Was a contestant on "Making the Band" on MTV which created the boyband O-Town.

Jason Castro -- was the love interest of Cheyenne. Has dreads.

Garrett Haley -- Mr. Cannon Fodder himself. The most famous of the non-featured contestants. Garrett Haley almost had no airtime, less than 20 seconds for the entire run of American Idol so far. Let's see if he can miraculously escape from the jaws of imminent defeat tonight. Go Garrett!

Good luck guys! The world is watching.
