UPDATE: New and more extensive American Idol spoilers list for the 2015 Top 40 here!
We have new alleged American Idol 2015 spoilers on which hopefuls made it to the American Idol 14 Top 40. We do not have confirmation yet from our usual source on these names, but the list does come from a secondary American Idol spoilers that is usually reliable for such information.
If the alleged American Idol 2015 Top 40 list coming out of MJsBigBlog.com is reliable, we have to say we’re a bit shocked at some of the names that got through, and some of the singers who didn’t make it. Or at least aren’t on the list yet. We still have hope the last few names who haven’t been revealed will be some of the extremely talented old and new faces alike we’re rooting for.
According to MJsBigBlog.com, previous competitors from past season who will be in the American Idol season 14 Top 40 include Casey Thrasher, Josh Sanders, Michael Simeon, Savion Wright, Maddie Walker, Nalani Quintello, and Sarina Joi-Crowe.
Quite a few other former American Idol contestants also made it to Hollywood Week, such as Keri Lynn Roche, Madelyn Patterson, Laurel Wright, and perennial fan favorite David Oliver Willis, but they reportedly did not advance to the Top 40. There were a number of former contestants from The Voice, America’s Got Talent, and The X Factor who also allegedly did not make it through. As well as, of course, many talented newcomers who were cut.

You can see who else reportedly won a Golden Ticket to Hollywood week but did not make the Top 40 on our American Idol 2015 spoilers list of season 14 contestants.
They better not have cut David Oliver Willis AGAIN!
Voice contestants only have heard how “WONDERFUL” they are and not used to “REALISTIC” critiques! The VOICE is only wanting to present a “FEEL GOOD” atmosphere that is great for “RATINGS” but doesn’t help contestants grow and give them a chance to become “SUPERSTARS”-like American Idol!
PREACH!¡!!!!!
LOL! Not everyone from American Idol has become “superstars” either.
I just saw Daughtry in concert and he only filled up half the arena, which kind of shocked me considering all the radio hits he’s had.
The contestants on The Voice are given constructive criticism. The coaches and guest mentors tell the contestants what they are doing well and what they should keep, but give them very specific things that they should maybe change or adjust. Criticism does not mean you have to be harsh and hurt someone’s feelings like Simon Cowell did.
Exactly right!
I don’t hear what the so called other people on the VOICE involved say! Jessica Muesse stated that Randy Jackson didn’t even come in until the Monday just before Weds.-when asked how he helped her out on AI-(note: he’s left for 2015) But I could say some were just plain awful; whereas “ALL” the coaches only remarked how wonderful they performed!
Obviously you be falling asleep when they show clips of the contestants and the coaches during the mentoring sessions before each performance! LOL!
I’m willing to bet that Champion doesn’t even watch the show.
Switch over after GOTHAM is over and such, etc.. Can’t stand to watch all of the Mr. & Ms. Wonderful Show! LOL
LOL! Well, I find the judging panel of JLo, Harry, and Keith too soft and uninteresting!
American Idol viewers “NEED” to “LISTEN” to the judges more. JLO knew that Jena Irene was more “MARKETABLE” than Caleb! If Simon Cowell had been there he’d have blatantly called Caleb Johnson “OUTDATED”!
Also watch Jethro Gibbs (NCIS) on Tuesday-much better show. Note: I do flip to the Voice now and then. LOL
Note: also missed “ALL” Weds. Voice special because I watch “ARROW” on the CW.
LOL! Nobody here is interested in hearing what you watch or don’t watch!
Just wanted you Voice show people to know what “BETTER” shows you’re missing!
I don’t watch ANY reality shows.
To add to what I just said: Don’t make false assumptions about people.
I’m not into action shows. If you enjoy them, then, fine, watch them. But there’s no need to put down something just because you don’t like it.
@Champion
I second what Voice Fan said. If you don’t like The Voice, don’t watch it. But STOP with the “my shows are better than your shows” nonsense.
I’ve been watching The Flash.
Champion – You just don’t get it.
I second that Champion doesn’t get it. The role of the celebrities on The Voice is to be coaches, NOT judges.
Amen to that Daughtry Fan!
That Anita girl can’t even sing the simplest songs-like Rude & All about that Bass well. Beyonce’ rejected Bass and songwriter (not a singer), Megan Trainor had to do it herself because everyone else turned their ” We are One” before AI gave it to Jena Irene.
Note: above all others rejected Bass, so Megan did it herself. Kelly Clarkson rejected We are one before AI gave it to Jena Irene
LOL!
I second that! Champion is impossible for me to take seriously!
LOL! She can’t sing?! Get the wax out of your ears!
Just saw a TV promo for the next Monday Voice and the only one shown singing was that Anita girl on BASS. Must think that after this season 7 she’ll become the VOICE’s first “SUPERSTAR”-Not! LOL
I hate that Bass song, no matter who sings it. Lyrics are stupid, just like the majority of other songs out there these days.
No Voice “SUPERSTARS”-that I do get!
So AI is doing something right, whereas the Voice after this 7th season is still trying to no avail!
LOL! Many Idol alums would make a good “Where Have They Disappeared To Now” episode on VH1! They are still trying unsuccessfully to get another Kelly or Carrie.
I just saw Ruben Studdard singing a duet with Diane Warwick on Hoda & Kathy Lee show.
He’s not a “superstar”.
As I mentioned below, I think a factor could be the ages of the Voice contestants. Many have been in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. Kind of hard to market in a youth-driven industry.
It could come down to the how and when of the album release.
It could come down to the music on the album. It may not fit with mainstream trends.
Perhaps people like watching the journey of the contestant on the show more than they enjoy keeping up with the artists afterwards – unless said artist is able to push his or her way into the mainstream.
But, just because the artists haven’t become huge stars, doesn’t make the show bad or mean that the contestants are horrible singers.
Thank you Rocker Chick!
Amen to that Rocker Chick!
Thank you for that excellent post Rocker Chick!
Only you, Voice Fan, Daughtry Fan, Cookie78, Idol Girl, and Carrie U Fan are worth talking to around here.
In my opinion, “Idol”’s lackluster performance over the past few seasons relates to the key word that isn’t used on “The Voice”: Judges. While Simon
Cowell’s snarky remarks made us laugh, I think that society in general is a little tired of being judged, judging others and watching other people judge other people. While, yes, this year’s judges provide
guidance and criticism in a kinder manner than Cowell, the personal, mentoring style of the coaches on The Voice caters to what viewers want.
I want to see that the coaches keep in touch with contestants. I want to see them having family dinner at Blake’s house. I don’t want to hear “well, it was pitchy” ever again for the rest of my life. It’s camaraderie and unity that people gravitate to, and “The Voice” really latched onto that and executes it perfectly.
Simon Cowell wouldn’t work out on the Voice because he’d be telling “TOO MANY” to pack their bags! LOL
I hated him because he unnecessarily hurt people’s feelings instead of helping them improve.
Exactly! Telling someone “you’re a cruise ship singer” is NOT constructive.
Simon did help Carrie win-when Country Music wasn’t that “COOL”!
Nope. What helped was having hits on radio.
The issue with The Voice contestants is that many of them are in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. Kind of hard to market them to a youth-driven industry.
I saw where Caleb Johnson sang the National Anthem (car race) but was announced as belonging with National Record Label- not Interscope? Has he been dropped and picked up again already?
If he got dropped already, it would have been top news on MJ’s blog. LOL!
Where Is Queen Kaitlin?
Champion and the other people here fussing about The Voice vs. Idol need to grow up.
To add to everything I had previously said, here are a few more factors:
Management – Idol has that 19 company to handle promotion. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think the Voice has anything like that.
Downloads – When Idol first premiered, buying a physical CD was still popular. When the Voice first premiered, which was only 3 years ago (in 2011) due to having both Spring and Fall seasons in the same year, it was in the age of downloads being more popular than CDs.
I see that Pharrel and others will be composing original songs for the finalists this 7th season of the Voice(good idea). Since I believe the song is the most important because two songwriters-Meghan Trainor and also Pharrel himself suddenly became successful singers by singing their rejected songs “Happy” &” Bass”. Also, that Jamison guy killed it last night, whereas the Anita girl did about the same on another simple vocal song. She should try Twinkle , Twinkle, little star next. LOL
Love the Happy song.
Hated the Bass song the first time I heard it on a web-only radio station, which was several weeks ago.
When I checked earlier this morning, all the guys were ranking higher than the gals on iTunes.
Both Pharrell and Meghan Trainor -(top two & three behind Taylor Swift as best mainstream song writers go) and others will compose the finalists songs. If this doesn’t produce a top 4 song nothing will!
The Voice has had a lot of winners who are niche artists. Their only 2 “mainstream” winners are the two country females (Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery). And especially in the current music industry climate, it’s very hard to turn a niche artist into a star, let alone a superstar. Their last 2 winners aren’t just niche artists, they are old-school types, to boot. They also got a late start; by the time The Voice came along, the general music buying public and radio programming directors seemed like they were pretty sick of new reality show contestants flooding the market; unless you came out with a hit song right away (like Scotty McCreery & Phillip Phillips), people lost interest. Idol contestants had a head start since the show’s been around a lot longer. So it makes sense that they would have more successful contestants. Who knows what would have happened if both shows had come on the air at the same time?
It would be nice if there were more superstars or even stars coming off Idol, The Voice, X-Factor, but that’s not too realistic. I’m just happy that most of them have been able to carve out careers in the music/entertainment industry to the point where they seem able to support themselves and their families financially. And, as others have said before, most of them are probably better off in terms of where their career is now, then they were before they went on AI, The Voice, X-Factor, etc.
The only person from the Voice I’ve seen the most of on TV is Chris Mann. He sings classical crossover music (like Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli). Due to a couple of PBS concerts, he’s had some moderate success in his genre. He has recently been tapped to play the role of the Phantom in the touring production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera.
I also wonder why The Voice hasn’t produced huge stars like Kelly or Carrie. But, in all fairness though, American Idol hasn’t produced huge stars in a few years either. I think all these singing shows are great platforms but, after the show ends, stellar management rules the day. If the singer is not able to snag a good manager and/or agent, nothing happens.
Agree. Sometimes it’s better to come in runner up position-like Jena Irene, so you can decide more what’s best. I felt like Caleb’s Album was just a “Larry the Cable Guy” production-“Get “R” Done! Take note of Jena Irene’s breath taking Bay City concert performance!
Or like Daughtry, out-selling everyone from his season.
People vote for who they think has a great voice or an entertaining personality or who looks the prettiest rather than who will be more relevant to the future of the music industry.
