After 13 episodes of auditions, Hollywood Week and Vegas performances (more than any other season), "American Idol" has decided the Top 24 singers who will compete for America's votes. But that's not the end of the story.

In a twist lifted directly from Simon Cowell on "The X Factor," the judges have decided to bring back a contestant they eliminated to make a Top 13 for the guys.

Sorry folks but the BEST american idol contestant EVER is Adam Lambert. He is the whole package and charming, sweet and cares about other people. NO ONE can match him!

He's fantastic. To me, it's a toss up between him and Pia Toscano, however. I can't believe how many people said they thought she was such a robot and fake, etc after she got eliminated from the show. She has a one in a million voice and beauty, IMO. I'm glad both she and Adam got record deals. To me, it's proof that the viewers on AI don't pick the best singers.

Bring back the guy in the picture, whatever his name is. He was consistently good.

Please not The Cowboy. That guy needs a personality transplant. So annoying.

Let me guess, he started dating one of the producers and they made a phone call.

Here's a novel idea...try bringing back some interest. The Voice has become a better "Idol" than the original.
