After a few weeks of auditions and drama, we’ve finally got our Top 24 contestants for American Idol XIV. While I don’t particularly agree with some of the decisions, unlike other years, I’m okay with the spread overall (even if it skews very, very young this year) There was one moment in particular that irked me during the “Green Mile” process (Why do they call it that?), and I’ll get to that in a bit. But if you’ve been following the posts I’ve written for this show so far, you already have a jist of my opinions.

So, without further ado, here are the Top 24 finalists heading to the live shows next week (where voting begins) arranged by how much I’m rooting for them.
