Siobhan Magnus - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Skip ahead a bit in the video to see Siobhan sing. It's a really bad quality video though.
Siobhan is the singer in a band called Lunar Valve and seems quirky enough for us to like her. She even shaved her head before the Idol auditions. That's two points for Siobhan so far. She also looks like she won't take the Idol stuff that seriously. So we'll see if she turns out to be the quirky contestant the producers let into the top 24 or if she's merely Hollywood fodder.

Artheria La'Bry - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Now, we've never heard this girl sing. But we've read her Facebook. And so far, can we say, we love her. If she's as fun as we think she is, we're hoping for her inclusion in the top 24. From her Facebook:
Sooooo....lets see!!My name is Artheria(dad's name is Arthur.get it?!?lol)..Most ppl call me "Theri". I'm 19,ex-music major @ Armstrong Atlantic, super duper cuter than YOU,pure, goofy, krazykool, goal-oriented, PASSIONATE about singing,enjoy dancing and writing

Although they r strange creatures, some can be GREAT EYE CANDY!!lol....but ummmm yeah.Thats just a snippet about moi but I think thats enuff 4 now u silly gooses!!*mwahz*;-)
She may be addicted to shrimp and eyeliner, but we have a feeling we'll be addicted to her.

American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant - Alex Nester

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Alex sure has a voice on her. She's a pretty good singer, but she also overdoes it a bit. So she could either be someone who sings well or someone who completely overindulge and annoy us. Time will tell. She was spotted at the Idol auditions with braids in her hair, like in this picture.

American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant: Derek Klena

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
There are some strong VFTW vibes coming from this one. In the video above, he apparently wins "Grand Champion" at a vocal competition. The guy can barely stay on key throughout the song. So will he become a VFTW favorite, or will he be cut before we even see him on camera?

American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant: Melissa Bitanga

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
The judges are going to love this one since she prefers to sing terrible songs. Will she be the requisite teenage girl who makes it to the finals?

American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant: Aaron Kelly

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
It's another Gaspy, but seemingly more annoying and with a country twang. But if the judges start to become irritated with him, he could make a good VFTW pick.

This kid is an obvious VFTW choice. Danny Falco, a 16 year old from Harmony, RI, has made it to the judges this year on American Idol. We do not know if he made it to Hollywood, but his singing is so funny, we had to post it here to laugh about. Since Danny posted a picture of himself with a golden ticket (left) on his MySpace and he's plastering that he's an American Idol 9 contestant all over YouTube, we're guessing he was cut. At least we might get to see him as a bad audition. There is plenty of his VFTW worthy singing on YouTube, like Bad Romance and Let Me Love You.

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Nicci Nix was on the Danity Kane season of Making the Band under her real name, Nicole Palmeri, and was eliminated first. She also appeared on reality shows Next, Exposed, Date My Mom, and Fear Factor, so she is clearly desperately looking for fame. Add that to the fact that she dresses in ridiculous clothing, records songs with titles like Sexcessful Virgin, and has an odd stage name, and we could be looking at a VFTW favorite here. This girl should be right up our alley.
ETA: Name corrected, sorry bout that.

"Sunday Morning" Maroon 5 Cover

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Daniel Murillo, who is a touring member of the band Hollywood Undead, has apparently made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol. The guy sings and looks like a complete douche. If this is what we can expect from him, hopefully he's cut early, because he doesn't seem like the type to play to VFTW.

UPDATE: Reign in Blonde, a metal blog run by females, wrote to us to mention that they had posted about Daniel a few days back, and one of the band members named "Duece" dropped in to defend the band (as hu4l), basically confirming that Daniel will be on Idol this season.

UPDATE #2: As never having heard a Hollywood Undead song before, we listened. The first one we heard was called Dead in Ditches with the lyrics "That's when we ride on bitches/you fucking faggot snitches/so don't you try/we're packing 9's/we'll leave you dead in ditches". Lovely.

This season might be fun to watch, if for nothing other than Simon's reaction to some this bunch. To be honest, they might all turn out to be fairly good, who knows..lol

I know this is not a 100%, but I bet you have it right..

Anzeo David - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
24 year old Anzeo David, formerly of Diddy's Making the Band 4 (he was also the first one eliminated, just like Nicci Nix), claims on his MySpace that he has worked with Timbaland, Missy Elliott, Destiny's Child, and Dallas Austin. There's also proof of him on YouTube opening for Trey Songz and Jaheim. Sounds like a plant to us. Or just a guy with a really big ego who loves to brag about himself. At least if he's ever eliminated, he'll give us the dramatics.

Holly Hardin - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Holly Hardin was a finalist on season 3 of America's Got Talent, but she was eliminated when the judges thought she wasn't ready. Since then, she's been perfecting her Kellie Pickler-esque bumpkin routine. We'll see if she comes across as endearing or obnoxious with the hick thing. Thankfully, the girl's got a little crazy in her, so that's a good thing.

Katelyn Clampett - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Katelyn Clampett is a singer originally from North Carolina who graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 2009. While there, she won a Performer/Songwriter Showcase and Songwriting Competition in 2008. Her music was used on the Golf Channel for 2009 Nationwide Tour coverage. She has an interesting voice that's a little weak but has some charm to it. And her original song "Water Them Down" (above) is sort of catchy. So we'll give her a chance. We'll see what she's like come Hollywood week.

Heather Todd - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Heather Todd is an indie singer who released an album on iTunes this year. She actually has a really good voice for recorded music and her songs sound well mixed for being done on a small label. Many of her songs could already be played on pop/rock radio (except the cliche "Nothing But the Blood (Of Jesus)"), and one already has been. Her song "Over My Head" was picked up by about a dozen small radio stations in 2008. So she has that going for her. Despite her mainstream vocals, she's a bit of an oddball appearance wise. So will we like her or will the producers craft her into a plant? We'll see soon enough.

Shannon Ann Marie Turner - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

Tim Urban - American Idol 9 Hollywood Contestant

Wow ..... I hope this guy makes it. His cover of Leon Russell's "A Song for You" is first rate as far as I'm concerned.
