I like making early picks on these reality tv shows. Even if they're still cutting down their current Top 46, I'd like to predict, Thaddeus Johnson as my early pick for Top 3 in Idol.

Out of all the auditions and even on Hollywood week, Thaddeus has caught my attention. His vocals are superb! He doesn't need to reach the highest of notes with his big solid voice cause his vocal range fits him perfectly. Check out his audition video of this 17 year old high school student from Oklahoma City and listen to his powerful rendition of Michael Jackson's Man In The Mirror. Oh and I hope his mom doesn't lose her voice cause she'll need to be cheering him on for a much longer time on Idol. Go Thaddeus !
