Every year, leakage on who will make it to the finals of the no. 1 tv show on Earth, American Idol (of course), proliferates on the internet from various blogs and message boards even before the announcement episode airs on television. The accuracy of this list is very high, about 90 to 100%. This year is no exception. There are even photos (with the help of paparazzis) proving that the rumors are true. On the pictures below (thanks to SGVN/Photo by Walt Mancini/SXCity via OPMB), the camera crew spotted 16 finalists who are allegedly from the Top 24 video shoot of Ford tv spot.

And here’s the list of American Idol Season 7 Top 24:
