The final season of "American Idol" (7 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13) continues, and the top 24 singers will be named tonight. If the spoilers are to be believed, at least one Utahn — well, former Utahn — will be on the list.
SPOILER ALERT! If you don't want to know, STOP READING NOW.
The list leaked some time ago, and Jenn Blosil — raised in Orem; lives in Brooklyn — is on it.
How much further she'll get remains to be seen. In a filmed bit that accompanied her audition back in January, Blosil described herself as "quirky." And her voice is, well, distinctive.
Quirky people with distinctive voices don't have a history of doing particularly well on "American Idol."
The top 24 contestants will be divided into two groups. Half will perform next week; the judges will eliminate five. The other half will perform the following week; five more will be eliminated.
Again, if the spoilers are to be believed, Blosil will perform with the second group.
