Simon Cowell Is Not Very Happy That The Names Of This Year’s “American Idol” Semifinalists Are Out On The Internet

American Idol’s premier antifan site Vote For The Worst has got its hands on what it’s claiming is this season’s group of 36 semifinalists—i.e., all the people who made it through the Hollywood Round (which airs next week) and onto the big stage, where they’ll be held up for scrutiny in front of text-message-ready Fox viewers. Tireless Idolblogger MJ has a page with links to the chosen ones’ auditions here; I’ve also placed the names of all 36 “lucky” ones after the jump. Surprises: It’s Osmond-free! Non-surprises: Joanna “major-label refugee” Pacitti and Von “I was famous on YouTube for being a white boy who screams songs” Smith are on it.

    @Rob Murphy: @walkmasterflex: Agreed with both of you. That will be disappointing if neither of these two makes it.

    just cuz it slipped doesn’t mean people won’t watch it…or that they’ll make it into the all important round table sing-off of whatever part of the contest that is.

    No Leneshe Young?

    Aww, poor hippie Rose didn’t make it through. Not that I think she’d have won, but she was cute as a button.
