Oh Wow, this Scott guy has a nice voice. You know, this FAT thing bugs me. The big white girl gets the boot based on looks, but this guy made it. Granted his voice was better, but they all said that other girl had a nice voice. If the girl was big and black, looks wouldn't be so much of an issue. I don't know exactly WHAT I am trying to say about that, but it's SOMETHING. I just find it weird that the LARGE look is acceptable from one demographic, but unattractive in another. What's up with that?

Awww.....the two girls were sad. Their voices weren't good, but I felt a tear well up during the whole second girl's time. Then LL gave her a hug, and then the group hug....AWWW!! Whoa, the Briana girl hurt my ears.

"Based on that performance, I would suggest plays". LOL. Simon kills me.

Maybe it's just me, but I was singularly unimpressed with the "Chain of Fools" girl and the James Brown guy. Oh well.

Tishala, you're not alone. I thought the Chain of fools girl was mediocre and the James Brown guy was actually bad. Sometimes I wonder if my tv has speaker problems and I hear things differently but it only seems bad when AI is on...lol The girl who sang Phantom of the Opera had an amazing voice. Is it right for this? No, but gosh, did she hit those notes! LL was awesome tonight. Maybe they'll replace Paula with him. He can be the new sweet one. He's better on the eyes too.

I thought the farm guy was really mediocre. But I guess he has the look...or the story/gimmick, really. I wish they would have had Brianna sing something non-opera. She was good at Phantom, but they should have tested whether she was prepared to sing something more rock/pop/whatever. I liked the guy they compared to Clay. I don't think he has a particularly similar voice, but I understand that they're both kind of nerdy guys with surprisingly good voices. I'll be curious to hear more...it's hard to judge completely based on part of an audition. Sometimes people I love in auditions don't impress me later, while others in the woodwork manage to really shine.

Fab, I have wondered the same thing through out the years when they have gushed over some or panned others...thought 'what's wrong with my speakers????'

I didn't like the James Brown guy. I too though he was BAD. Oh well. I think my speakers must have been broken for the Phantom girl. I really didn't like her. Sorry, when majority of your notes are only capable of being heard by dogs and insects, I think you should not go to Hollywood.

I agree, I didnt like the James Brown guy, I thought farmboy was terrible (think I even posted that I thought he wouldnt make it), the phantom girl has a voice but I was surprised they didnt ask her to sing something else to see if she could handle other material than high pitched operating screeching.

OK, here I am bringing over rumors again. Someone posted they were friends with Farm boy and he is really the som of the Cleveland Fire marshall and they rented the farm and animals for the shoot, he is really a city boy. Someone else posted that Phatom girl was trained for opera and sounded amazing in person and she really is an over the top person, she was not dressed like that just to be filmed, she really does dress like that. OK, over and out from rumor central.

farm boy/city boy --- still a boy who cant sing. Phantom girl then lied when she said she wasnt trained. She said she had only been taking lessons for a few months.

I only liked 2 singers last night...the blonde guy they compared to Clay (actually looks wise he reminded me of Will from last years BB) and the girl who sang "I could have Danced all night". I was pissed that they didn't choose her. She had a wonderful voice.

Sadiesmom, I live in Cleveland and when I saw "Farmboy" I asked my husband where the hell the nearest farm in Cleveland is? There are NONE. And its not like they say "Cleveland" if they live in a suburb. They mention the smallest towns names. Either he was not from a farm or he was not from Cleveland. I can safely guarantee one of those.

I think I have heard the judges comment that when they go back and watched the televised tapes they hear things from contestants that they might not hear in the audition room that make them regret their choices. I know that I have heard some of the singers that they have raved over that I thought were off-key on some notes. But then again, we don't know how many bad singers they have heard before some of the better ones (although not great) have come in and they are so happy to hear someone who can actually sing the majority of their notes on key that they rave about them. I mean, if you have to listen to 100 William Hungs in a row and a Farmer Boy comes in wouldn't you be happy too?

I don't watch 'till they go to Hollywood. I find it too frustrating. I find the same thing when I watch Canadian Idol.

I personally thought Phantom of the Opera chick was fantastic. She has an incredible voice; however, she will have to do a complete makeover because America will not vote for someone with colored hair to be the next American Idol. I also liked the chick that sang "I Could Have Danced All Night." I am a little surprised that she didn't make it but the James Brown dude did.

A friend of mines cousin went to try out for Idol this year. She camped out 3 days and the only reason they allowed you to leave your place in line was to go to the bathroom or shower, then a family member could take thier place until they returned. Otherwise they had to keep thier place on thier own. This girl is a wonderful singer and but she never got past the first auditions while horrible singers were allowed on to the next level. She said the ratio was about 8 bad for every 2 good singers. I know it is entertaining to watch at times, sometimes painful, but it is sad that there are those with talent who never get past the gate and those without are allowed to come in for "ratings". Ah well.

Fab - let's not forget the Sheep Lady in Willoughby, may she rest in peace. I think Willoughby is close enough to Cleveland to be called Cleveland on a national show.

Shaker Heights is much closer than Willoughby but they list that as the one guys hometown.
