I think they will let them use instruments. They did during hollywood week and Vegas Week. My lineup for the guys is as follows:

Top Five:
Paul McDonald
Jacob Lusk
Casey Abrams
Tim Halperin
Stefano

Three wildcards:
Brett Lowenstein
Roby Rosen
Jovany Shipbuilder

first Four Out:
Jun Bug -Douchebag
Jordan Usher -terrible performance + dbag
Scotty McCreary-too one dimensional
James Durbin -just had idol like him

Top Five:
Durbin
Lusk
Rosen
Paul McDonald
Casey Abrams

Wildcards:
Stefano
Jovony
Jordan (based on judges opinions of him & talent)

Out:
Mccreery
Brett Lowenatein
Tim
Jun Bug

My top 5:

If based solely on last night:
Casey Rogen-Farrell
James Durbin-Lambert
gay black fatty
Paul
Scotty One Hit - He was good at what he did.

If based on everything I've seen:
Replace Scotty with Tim the Piano Man.

Right. But why didn't they use them last night? Musicians (not singers) perform better with instruments. People like Tim Halperin, who will probably be gone, and Paul McDonald are so much better when playing.

I said the same thing last night!![

ruben and fantasia have both had successful music careers as well. ruben didn't quite fit the idol audience for his music style he went with. fantasia is on her 3rd album and all have done well.

i think a few contestants are also on broadway, etc as well. 1 of them came back to perform last season i wanna say.

Agree with you, too much of that ghey in this year's group... Even the kid they're billing as the "ladie's choice" stefano dreams of flesh cucumber.

Kelly Clarkston
Carrie Underwood
Adam Lambert
Chris Daughtery
David Cook
Jennifer Hudson
Jordin Sparks
Kelli Pickler
Clay Aiken
David Archuleta

I don't necessarily like any of these people, but they all have solid album sales.

The biggest problem is that the Top 2 or 3 from each season release these terrible, overproduced pop albums as their first release and fade fast.

My original post asked for 10 that are relevant in music now..

I can think of 5 tops that can be considered relevant..

Carrie Underwood of course being the supreme anomaly ..doing what Simon said she would do on one of the episodes when she was a contestant..he said she would not only win, but she would sell more albums than any other idol..

Kelly Clarkson has had her ups and downs..she still my favorite by far and imo, the best singer

Daughtry had a great debut and ok follow but is slowing down..

A few of the girls have gone on to do good things on tv, commercials, broadway, etc...
but all in all, in the music industry, only a small handful have had success longer than a year out from the show..
