Final Judgment: Ranking the ‘American Idol’ Season 15 Top 24 Semifinalists

American Idol Season 15’s top 24 semifinalists have finally been revealed! And while there are some surprising omissions – namely Colette Lush, Sara Sturm… and, most shockingly, Jessica Cabral, who never gave an off performance, not even when she was sick – overall, this is a very strong group. Maybe Idol will find the “Kelly Clarkson bookend” that Ryan Seacrest keeps blathering on about after all.

But of course, some of this year’s hopefuls are more Clarkson-level than others. So here’s Yahoo Music’s Reality Rocks’ definitive, definitely subjective ranking of all 24 contestants. (Photos courtesy of Fox)
