Herc, the singers need three votes to get in. Of course, Simon thinks his vote is weightier.

I just saw bits and pieces of tonight's show. Gene said no to all of the ones I saw, even though the other three judges said yes. Does Gene like anyone? He will give some constructive criticism, maybe even a compliment, then say no. I was confused with his vote. He did have interesting input, though. He's a thoughtful judge, just doesn't seem to like anyone.

The guest judge is really keeping many people out when they vote no and make it a 2-2 tie. In previous years those ties would have gone through with 2 yeses to 1 no.

Gene seemed to be running the show tonight right from the start.

I'm glad they let that Jeffrey guy through despite Gene's comments. I wouldn't say AI is especially "rock 'n roll", more like pop and Clay has done just fine with his clean-cut lyrics/style. Gene Simmons wouldn't get through on this contest! When has a rocker ever gotten past the early rounds anyway?

I think it was unfair to make those guys go through as "twins." I don't blame them for being upset. It sounded like it was the show's idea and not theirs to go through together. Also, as far as what song they sing - I don't think that should matter at all if it shows the range of their voice. It will be interesting to see what happens with the guy who comes back.

I'm looking forward to seeing Kenny Loggins tomorrow. I haven't seen him in ages.

I thought they wasted a lot of time on that incomprehensible Leroy person...thank goodness for fast forward!

I believe the producer Nigel Lythgoe gets a tie breaking vote. At least that is the story from someone who made it through an earlier year.

i am glad we don't have to look at gene simmons tonight. he's so arrogant, like he has any musical talent to speak of (sorry kiss fans, i don't think he does). i did like leroy, i could not stop laughing at him. personally, i thought theguy with the weird hair (i can't think of his name, he sang tom jones tho) was great. he actually could carry a tune and be different. there's nothing wrong with that :-).

I have to disagree with you on the guy who sang Delilah. Are you sure you dont have wax build up?

I agree with Roxip about Leroy... He wasn't there to audition, just to get on TV. I didn't find him amusing at all. Perhaps I am just aging and don't find talking in gibberish funny

I saw on some preview last night that the psycho girl was in Hollywood for some reason. It was a quick blurb and Zachary was talking to me. Anyone else see that?

They gave her a make over and voice lessons. I just heard the blurb, didn't see it.

Mark McGrath, as lead judge, Yes.

Gene Simmons, added nothing, blocked some that should have gone through.

Leroy was a hoot. Loved his love of life. Much more entertaining than "offkey without a clue."

(And Z-Mom I understood most everything Leroy said and I'm twice your age. Must be my nine inch ears.)

For the first time I thought that Gene Simmons being a guest judge, actually added intelligence to the comments given but the Idol trio. I preferred his comments over Simon's always brash and nasty.

At least when Gene said no, he gave you a resonable reason why and didn't rip you apart or call someone "fat".

I think the Twin thing was all just set up crap. If they had different numbers then why make the auidtion together what's the point. The whole mess with the male twins who sang Boyz2Men the one that Paula wanted wasn't the better singer so overall it really didn't matter. I don't think they would have lasted as long. Of course now we see in the previews for tonight's show, that he comes back.

Leroy was just pure entertainment, but at least even he had a positive attitude and I understood everything he said (although don't ask me to translate).

I agree I thought Gene was a good judge. He even moved people along that he himself was not that wild about. I agree on the twin thing, didn't like the better twin at all. Either way neither of them would have gone far.

Leroy was fun to watch. I felt sorry for the accountant. Poor guy really couldnt sing.

my favorite leroy part was when they subtitled at the end, having us read what he really wasn't saying...man was he skinny! i'll bet he never rests. if he could just give me that boppy-energy, i'd be slim, too!

I don't like listening to men who sing higher than I do...

I find I enjoy the guest judges so far. For the most part, it seems like they are taking this seriously, unlike the guests judges we had during the finalist competitions. I also find their comments refreshing because they are coming from a less...world-weary, do-I-have-to-do-this-again place I'm feeling from the other judges (even Paula).

I'm a night behind you guys so I just saw the show for the 25th. I have to say that I totally don't understand how the first set of twins got through. I thought they were crappy singers and they didn't even sing a song! They only said like 3 words over and over and over. I was in total shock when they got put through and then in even bigger shock when the second set of twins didn't get put through.

I thought the twin that didn't go through was the better singer too.

I thought Gene gave constructive comments.

I think I love my TIVO.

I think I watch too much television...LOL!
