American Idol Contestant Shaun Barrows was one this season’s Golden Ticket Hollywood Round Contestants. He was rumored to make it to the top 50. The top 24 was determined on Tuesday January 22, 2008 ( 1-22-08) and Shaun Barrows confirmed via his Myspace Account he didn’t make the cut.
Here is what Shaun Barrows Said on his Myspace account about American Idol and the Top 50 and Top 24.
Well, I made it to the top 48 and got cut. They’re not looking for a whole lot of variety this year, as all the contestants who made it through are either rockers or 16 and the type they can mold into whatever they want. But I caught a glimpse at the contract the top 24 has to sign, and i’m glad i didn’t have to sign it. If I made it to the top 24, they would own me for 3 years no matter how far i made it, and if I had won, they would make big changes to my music. I got a pretty good feel for what they’re looking for, and they don’t want artists who already have an established sound–all my favorite contestants who I thought were great songwriters with a unique artisticsound were also cut today. I’m once again in full control of my music career, and I’m very relieved I’m out.
So it was a great experience and I got what I needed out of it. Now, it’s on to Celine Dion or whatever else comes my way. I’ll be releasing this new album soon, probably in March, and will hit the road again to tour soon after. Thanks for the support and I hope to see you all soon!
So Rockers and 16 year olds make the Top 24 According to Shaun Borrows.

I’m glad to see that some rockers actually made it this year. The producers have finally figured out what the people who buy the CDs like: Rock and Young Singers. Maybe we’ll have another Chris Daughtry this year.
