Alaina Whitaker | Top 24 American Idol

Alaina Whitaker Top 12 American Idol

Alaina Whitaker was easily advanced in American Idol's Season 7 competition into the Top 24. Alaina Whitaker was a fan favorite and he easily won her spot in the Top 24 American Idol list.

The next stage for Alaina Whitaker and other American Idol hopefuls is the weekly elimination rounds leading up to American Idol's Top 12. No one doubts that Alaina Whitaker has what it takes to make the American Idol top 12. All that stands in the way is a poor performance or poor song choice, or perhaps even a bad night by the judges.

Alaina Whitaker certainly has a bank of songs to choose from. However, as we've seen in the past, some American Idol hopefuls do a poor job of choosing songs and this could be Alaina Whitaker's downfall on the American Idol stage.

The smooth yet powerful voice will help, no doubt. And let’s face it. There have been American Idol contestants in the past who’ve made it a long ways in the compeition that wasn’t as talented as Alaina Whitaker. But we all know that sometimes it’s not the most talented that go on to the final 12 in American Idol competition, sometimes it’s nothing more than a local favorite getting their hometown (or home state or home country…read Sanjiya) to vote for them.

Alaina Whitaker has what it takes to make it to the Top 3 in the American Idol competition, the only question mark at this time is can it be done with a fickle crowd and can the song choices and performances go off without a hitch?

Who knows? We’ll just have to turn in and watch American Idol every week and cross our fingers that Alaina Whitaker can wow the fans of American Idol.
