Robbie Carrico | Top 24 American Idol

Robbie Carrico | Top 24 American Idol

Robbie Carrico made the cut to advance in American Idol's Season 7 competition. Robbie Carrico was a fan favorite and he easily won his spot in the Top 24 American Idol list.

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

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

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

Robbie Carrico has the looks, talent and ambition 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 Robbie Carrico can wow the fans of American Idol.
