Former Idol Contestants Pick Their Favorites

JIM VERRAROS, season 1 (2002)
"I'm rooting for Adam Lambert all the way! If he doesn't make it to at least the top five, there is something seriously wrong with America!"

DIANA DEGARMO, season 3 (2004)
"Scott MacIntyre's story is incredible, but Adam is a theater actor, like me, [who's] showing that he can truly cross over to the pop genre. I respect that so much."

JON PETER LEWIS, season 3 (2004)
"I’m a big fan of Megan [Joy]’s mostly because she’s a hot girl with a sweet tattoo, but I’m also rooting for Matt Giraud. At this point, the top 13 need to stay focused on the songs and not get distracted by all the fanfare that surrounds the show. Remember: you're only a TV star when you have a TV show and only a music star when you have a hit song."

ANTHONY FEDOROV, season 4 (2005)
"The newbies are in for a heck of a ride from this point on! This amazing journey is just beginning for them and it's only going to get tougher. I'm not sure who I want to win yet, but [right now], my top three guys are Adam, Danny [Gokey] and Scott."

NADIA TURNER, season 4 (2005)
"I don't have a particular favorite from the top 13 yet -- I'm still waiting to be wowed -- but for now, I'd tell the top 13 to stay in the moment! Idol is a mind-blowing experience that will never be forgotten!"

CONSTANTINE MAROULIS, season 4 (2005)
"Lil Rounds is a powerhouse and I dig her. I think she'll make top 6. As a theatre guy [starring in Broadway's Rock of Ages], it's hard for me to not root for Adam as well. He has a gift as a vocalist. I hope he does well, 'cause it is good for everyone in theatre. Plus, it would be really hard to go back to the chorus after a subpar finish on Idol. So, go Adam!"

CHRIS SLIGH, season 6 (2007)
"This year's top 13 are a great group of singers. My favorite is definitely Danny. He has one of the better voices to ever be on Idol, in my opinion. His version of 'Kiss From A Rose' during Hollywood Week was chillingly good."

MELINDA DOOLITTLE, season 6 (2007)
"My biggest advice to this year's top 13 involves song choice. Don't just sing a song because you like it; pick one that shows us what makes you stand out. So far, my favorites are Allison [Iraheta] and Matt. And an honorable mention goes to Anoop [Desai]. Anyone who sings 'My Perogative' has my vote!"

KRISTY LEE COOK, season 7 (2008)
"My favorites this season are Allison and Danny. Allison has the total package: She's unique and has a powerful voice, good looks, and a good personality. If she picks the right songs that showcase her voice and stage presence, she'll go far. Danny is also definitely one to watch. He has a wonderful attitude, and you can tell this competition means a lot to him. He is going to give everyone a run for their money!"

Looks like we have a bunch of love for both Adam AND Danny! I can't wait for tonight's episode.
