Those are just three that jump to my mind because I was so high on them at this stage of the competition, only to be totally let down once they got into the Final 12.
And let's not forget that early on, Randy was saying it was between Lakisha Jones and Melinda Doolittle to win it all. Melinda stuck in there, but Lakisha was quickly bantha fodder in the Top 12.
I think Aaron's point is reasonable whether it happens or not.

Mandisa was not going to win -- never had a chance. Her voice was not that good. She was a shouter.
Anwar who?
Elliot Yamin would not be on my list. He came in third and he was a better singer than both Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee imho. Where are they now? Yamin had a solid radio and video hit from his album. Did they?
If Archuleta is voted out, I will eat crow. Unless he blows Disco Week, it's a lock. He'll be in the final two.
