American Idols on Twitter

Many of the American Idol contestants, both current and former, are popping up on Twitter. Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee that these are all real.

In fact, I can guarantee that some are fakes, as some have multiple accounts claiming to be that person. For now, I’m listing the multiples until I can determine the authoritative account.
