American Idol Look-Alikes from My Childhood

This article is meant for fun only! I really hope no one takes offense to this. I just really started cracking up one of the first nights of this season's American Idol competition as the Top 12 began reminding me of characters from my childhood. Each week, the thoughts tickle me more and more, and so I had to share.

What HAS to be obvious to probably just about everyone watching, is that Scotty McCreery has the most striking resemblance to Alfred E. Neuman from the MAD comic!

The other great and really amusing resemblance is that of Casey Abrams to Yukon Cornelius from 'Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer'! Somewhat sexy!!

Paul McDonald who IS quite a character with a gigantic smile, reminds me of none other than (and appropriately named) Dr. Teeth from 'The Muppets'!

It doesn't stop there though. As Lauren Alaina performs, I wait to see Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse make an appearance! Does Lauren Alaina not look exactly like DJ Tanner aka Candace Cameron from 'Full House'?

There is no comparison to my Stefano Langone, but he definitely has a familiar hearthrob look to my old Chachi from 'Happy Days'!

Next, is the beautiful and exotic Naima Adedapo. I was still playing with the thought of all of my childhood favorites and how they resemble the American Idol contestants, when I couldn't get past Naima's hair. I used to love to sit for hours and put tons of braids and flowers in to My Little Ponies hair. So, I couldn't help but make that comparison.

If you're my age and are a girl, you most likely had a cornsilk cabbage patch kid! Well, because of her precious dimples and shiny flowy hair, Haiely Reinhart fills those shoes!

As if you didn't see this one coming, when I was a little girl, my favorite barbies had brown hair like me! So, pretty Pia probably most reminds me of my barbie dolls!

I really can't find a comparison for the lovable Jacob Lusk. To play along though, I thought of a jolly character because I LOVE Jacob's boisterous and large personality. The only charcter who matched that description was Fat Albert. Lusty Lusk is by no means fat though! He is however PHAT!

Maybe it's the denim jackets, vests, bandanas, and bad boy persona that makes me think of the late great Corey Haim when I see James Durbin!

Singing "Colors of the Wind" may have had something to do with it, but when I look at the natural beauty Thia Megia, I think of Disney and Pocohontas!

Hope you had fun with my selection of look-alikes from this season's American Idol!
