LOS ANGELES (AP) – The ladies have a slight edge in “American Idol’s” Top 24. Eleven guys make it compared to 13 women. The judges have been saying all along this season the women in the auditions were better than the men. Among those who make it are Trent Harmon, who suffered through Hollywood Week with a full-blown case of mono, and 15-year-old Jeneve Rose Mitchell, who lives in a remote Colorado cabin with no electricity or running water. Last night, the final Idol slot went to La’Porsha Renae, a single mom who lived for a time in a homeless shelter with her baby daughter. She was in tears when the judges told her she makes it through. Next week, 12 of Top 24 will perform before five are cut.
