I'll still be overseas when this posts but through the magic of spoilers, I was able to post this on April 6. The shows leading to the top 14 were all pre-taped. So here is the top 14.

Will any of these folks become superstars? That's unlikely but we'll have to see if anybody can even hit a Phillip Phillips-level of fame and garner a hit or two on the charts.
