Quite a few familiar names up there, especially on the female side.  Here are the people we’ve seen over the first four audition episodes that have, supposedly, made the top 24:

Alaina Whitaker: A good looking girl with a big voice who Simon said wasn’t as good as she thinks she is.  Well, that was still good enough, I guess.

Brooke White: A good looking blonde girl who has never seen an rated R movie in her life.

Kady Malloy: A good looking lady (are we sensing a pattern here?) who, I thought, gave maybe the most impressive female audition we’ve seen this season.  She’s also a vocal impressionist who showed off an incredible Britney Spears impersonation (of the singing, that is, not of the underpants-less, child-neglecting, paparazzi-balling harlot we all now know).

Kristy Lee Cook: Kristy Lee is the sweet-as-pie Oregonian who rides horses.  It’s come out in the open since her Idol audition that Cook was actually signed to a record label in 2001, which means Idol may have brought her in as a ringer.

Carly Smithson: The tattooed Irish lady who was denied a trip to Hollywood a couple of seasons ago due to visa issues. 

David Archuleta: This is the teenager with the raspy voice who once suffered from vocal paralysis.  I didn’t think he’d make it into the top 24, but I like his potential.
 
Michael Johns: It would have been an upset had Johns not made the top 24.  This Aussie has a great soul voice and, I think, gave the most impressive audition of the season so far.
