I'm bummed that Tami Gosnell didn't make it. She stood out to me in her audition. She has an unusual voice and a pleasant, different personality. Maybe next year. Try again Tami!! It seems that Leslie that made it took the "interesting voice, unusual girl" spot. Must not have been room for both of them, because they needed all those other spots for super cute, young and moderately talented girls who are marketable!! Gee, I didn't know all that was simmering indside me until I started typing. Thanks for listening.

Agree that Sundance Head got through on his pedigree. His first audition was outstanding, but didn't seem to fare well in Hollywood. When they review the tapes for determining the final 24, I wonder if they review some of the tapes that are non-singing to see who really wants it or who is not so sincere. My thoughts on the 24 are that the judges always have a solid 10-12 that they all agree on. Then, it's probably a matter of negotiation between them to get individual favorites in. When I listened to some of the ones who made it, they did not sound that great to me. Perhaps they can improve with more coaching, who knows. However, the girl with the 3 year old daughter better be in the final. She can sing like Aretha Franklin! They didn't show her enough in Hollywood. So can both the backup singers.

Can someone refresh my memory on how we pare this group down to twelve? I suffer from CRS.

LOL - No problem! They split up the guys and girls into two groups of 12. They then perform each week (one show for the guys and one for the girls and one results show) and the bottom two guys and bottom two girls are eliminated each week until they are left with six guys and six girls.

Thanks Jimmer. That's what I was thinking would happen, but couldn't remember for sure if there were 3 shows each week.

We did not get to see Sundance's last solo performance. They just showed the group performance, which was not so good. Maybe the last solo was was better than the first one or the group performance. Sundance's father was Roy Head who had one big hit nationally. He was never a really big star, though. I remember him because he and his band played a lot of dances in the South Texas area.

I also liked the single mom from New York. I think she has a fantastic voice. And she was just so nice. I hope that if she does not make it big on the show, at least she gets some exposure and a chance at a singing career. It would be a real waste if she does not.

I like the new born's father. Anybody wanna bet Simon'll never say a disparaging word about Antonella? Also be on the lookout for Lakisha pimpage. Chris Sligh will get the Scott Savol treatment. Those are my opinion.

I love Chris Sligh and his voice as Paula is so fond of saying, "moves me." And I love his audacious sense of humor. I hope he goes a long way. He is not my favorite singer, but he is one of my favorite contestants.

So, what will they do to Chris's hair? I've been wondering what he would look like with shorter hair and I just can't see it.

Has anyone heard Phil Stacey say he is still in the Navy? I don't remember him mentioning it.

Kooklie - I mentioned to my hubby that some dumb stylist is going to try cutting it all off. It'll take away part of who he is. Leave the hair alone, Hollywood People!

Hopefully, they will just gel it a bit and maybe a slight trim to get rid of the bowl look to it. But, yes Shel, we need to start the Leave the hair alone, Hollywood People! support group

Is the single mother the one who is Mandisa's friend? Or was that somebody else? All in all I'm not overly impressed so far with this group...there don't seem to be any major standouts. But I could feel that way because I missed several of the early audition rounds. They just seem to be a bit generic at this point...to me the majority of the girls look alike. Were the judges casting for a "type" this year more than in previous years?

the single mother was the heavy set black girl with the big booming voice. They asked her what she would do if she did not make it through and she said she would go back to her daughter and back to the bank. No regrets and no recriminations. She definitely has her priorties right and her head on straight.

If Chris does not make it in the music business, I could see him doing stand up comedy or even movies. He is just a natural.

That red spot over Gina's forehead drives me crazy. It distracts me from listening to her. I can't imagine why she went to Hollywood with 1/2" of roots on her bad dye job.

Oh that "red Spot" I really don't hear her singing, because I am concentrating on that spot...I thought it was a discoloration of her skin...was wondering why she didn't go for bangs...Can't believe that was intentional!

One thing I feel they gypped us on Wednesday night was getting to see Amanda Coluccio get her big fat "NO" and walk of shame. She's the one who said after Baily was cut "Because God likes good people", and then denied her flirting and said "We could have all the guys we want back home, believe me." Oh well, at least she was cut. Too bad her best friend, Antonella, wasn't also cut. I'm not feelin' the Sundance love at all. So far from the guys I enjoy Sanjaya and Chris...I don't think I will be able to decide which girls I like until I see top 12 performance night next week. I do like Jordan. All I know for sure is that there is no performance that could make me vote for Antonella.

ohhh, now I just scanned through Tuesday's show and I see Amanda was in the room that was cut before top 24. I didn't even realize that night it was her.

One thing I noticed when looking at the top 12 group photo of the girls...this year we don't have any blonde bombshell types.
