did some digging - it is Sundances father who was the singer and he was apparently a country singer.

Is Blake the one who looks a lil like Justin Timberlake? If so then I thought he was too nasally. He needs improvement.

Oops! Referring to my earlier post, my bad that I forgot that Taylor was last year's winner. Completely forgot that season! But still, according to my theory, that would still make sense because you could certainly argue (strongly) that Taylor was like no other past Idol winner! They seem to steer the seasons so that a particular kind of winner shakes out. Nickovtyme, I hope you're right, too!

not sure if he looks like Justin Timberlake, I just thought his voice sounded so clean.

I was mostly underwhelmed last night. Out of the guys, there are a few that I'd like to see in the final 12, though:

Blake: I love his beatboxing and I think he does have the whole package

Sundanmce: Just because. His bluesy tones really rocked me during his first showing, but he lost it in Hollywood. He wasn't great last night, but he did improve.

Jared: He's got lots of potential.

Chris Sligh: Just because.

Phil: Not that I really like him all that much, but he can sing.

For the sixth "guy"? I dunno. I really wasn't all that impressed with Paul or Brandon or Rudy. Nor do I actually remember what AJ or Nicholas or Chris sang. And Sanjaya, while adorable, just is gonna be outta his element.

Chris Richardson is the one who has the Justin Timberlake vibe.

I was underwhelmed too. I think the girls may be the better ones this season.

I was so happy to see local boy, Blake, do so well. I never vote this early in the comp, but I managed to get about 100 votes in for him last night.

My 6 finalists are: Blake, the 2 Chris's, Phil, Jared(yummy)and probably AJ.

Out of the gazillion people that audition, only about 100-150 per city get thru to see the 3 judges. I get a little irritated with Simon, Randy and Paula, when they are overly critical (constructive criticism is Ok). Geez, THEY picked the 24. IMHO, I don't think a couple of people should have gotten to the final 24 after Hollywood week (cough,cough,Sundance).

I remember Roy Head and the Traits. They played a lot of dances in the south Texas area where I grew up. He had a couple of minor hits and one real hit. But he was never a really big star. I doubt if Randy or the other judges would have been very starstruck by him. No, they were impressed by the talent Sundance showed in his first audition.

A lot of these guys seem to have some talent that could be developed. We saw how some of them grew last year. But most of them are just "nice talent," nothing special.

But with Sundance it seems to be a case of a guy with real talent who just hasn't been able to show it after the first audition.

I don't know what has happened with him, but I hope he stays around for another chance. He was not good last night, but heaven knows he was far from the worst. None of the others have anywhere the powerful voice he has. He just has to get it together.

I agree that Ryan has lost what little charm he once had. Perhaps now that he's become so successful with E! and his radio show he feels he should be more of the star on AI than the judges. His and Simon's interaction had lost its charm a long time ago for me and last night was horrible.

I'm sorry, but Blake reminded me too much of Mike Boogie to enjoy his performance! But I was happy to see that he had touched up the roots on his rooster's crest on top of his head. Can I say that?

We will probably still have Sundance and Sanjaya after tonight just because they go so much press before the voting rounds. Sanjaya should have been given another year to "season" before making it into the top 12. Nice kid, but he blew it last night. Paul Kim just did poorly, shoes or no shoes.

I thought that Nick had a beautiful-sounding voice, just a horrible song. I didn't think his performance deserved the total panning that the judges gave him. Same with Brandon. The man can sing, and I really thought he made the song "his" -- he certainly changed it up. I also kind of liked Paul Stacey.

I wasn't impressed with either Chris. The larger guy just didn't seem to be "selling" his song, just kind of blew it off (IMO of course). The "Justin" one just isn't my type. I didn't like his Prison Break hairstyle and I wasn't that impressed by his singing. I thought his voice sounded thin.

I think Jared Cotter started out great but his song kind of fell apart toward the end. He is a really attractive man though.

I felt Rudy and A.J. did okay, but I don't see them being finalists.

I think this year all the contestants look like they are either trying to be either ethnically diverse or a "type." Especially the women on the "type" thing and ethnically diverse for the men.

I will be interested in seeing how the women do. If I remember right, more of the women impressed me than the men. If they blow it like the guys did, then I could say that anyone who is left after this week could pull it out at this point. It just depends on how they develope and how the audience takes to them. Does anyone know where the oddsmakers had Taylor at the beginning of last season?

According to Dial Idol scoring (which is not based on odds but actual phone call data), at the top 20 last year, Taylor was at 37.05. The next closest guy was Ace at 23.95, followed by Chris at 19.15. Elliot was far back at 7.36. The women's leader by far was Kellie Pickler at 45.08 followed by Ayla Brown at 32.12, then Paris at 17.67. Katherine was well behind at 11.36.

So it can change but an early lead like Taylor's sure helps.

I think in the beginning there is always one or two standout guys who manage to be ready to jump right in to singing in front of a large audience with a back up band. Others are not prepared and as the weeks progress, with coaching, stylists they improve week by week. From here on in it will all come down to smothing out performance styles and song choice.

It will all be about who the AI producers give what songs to. But if you are good like taylor Hicks and Blake, I suspect they are just going to keep going. Of course we will probably be stuck with the VFTW candidate Sundance up until the final six.

What do you base your "dislikes" on at this point of the season. Is it that you just don't think the person can sing, the person has not performed, or you just don't like the person.

Same with "likes", is it based on the ability to sing, who has performed, or some other criteria?

I disliked Chris attitude

Liked Jared but he reminded me of constantine and his puppy eyes at the camera are going to bug the crap out of me by week four.

most everyone else was boring

With the exception of Blake, I really only heard one other guy that I liked but the judges panned him. Forget who he was but he reminded me of smokey robinson.

Jared was actually one of the ones whose singing got under my nerves (yeah, not on....it was that bad)....there was just something I couldn't put my finger on in his voice.

As for Blake...I started out not liking him and couldn't understand how he had made it...I had only ever heard the beatboxing. But I actually liked his singing last night. One of the two best for me (the dad being the other).

I was surprised btw that Randy and Paula thought the dad guy was the best of the night. I thought it was Blake far and away.

I don't get to see the girls till this evening, but I have gotten to see the guys. I was a bit amazed at everyone over in tonight's thread saying the guys were so bad. I thought overall the guys were great last night.

This was my take on the guys.

Rudy - No doubt about it, this man can sing. He is full of confidence, on tune and gave a great performance. But, I personally don't care for his voice tone. I could enjoy listening to him sing a few songs, but then I'd get tired of it.

Brandon - I thought he was great! Well, basically all he would have to do is get up there and smile and he would get a ton of votes, but the bonus is that he can really sing well and I totally enjoyed listening to him. I think he will just get better and better as the competition goes along.

Sundance - He made my ears bleed! AWFUL - the worst performance of the night.

Chris - I like his personality and dancing dad. He can sing, but by the end of the song I was tired from watching all his jerky movements. Still, all in all, I enjoyed his performance.

Nick - I think Nick has potential, but he is so freaking nervous that he just can't put it out there. His performance was just boring.

Blake - I liked him. He can definitely sing and I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.

The one with the name I can't spell - I agreed with Simon. He was boring. He sang well, but there was just no emotion behind the words.

Chris S. - I thought he was great! He and Brandon are my top favorites right now.

Jared - Another good looking man that I enjoyed listening to and I think he will only get better as it goes along. He has a great voice.

AJ - He sings good, but I'm just not all that in to him. He was racing ahead of the accompaniment and the judges didn't even point that out. I don't have a clue why Paula thought this guy had sex appeal. I guess you had to be drinking her Coke to see it.

Phil - He sang one of my favorite songs. The beginning and ending were so bad that the middle just didn't make up for it for me.

From the performances this night, I think that Sundance and Nick should be going home, but I have a feeling it will be AJ and Rudy or Nick.

I just realized that I left Paul Kim out. You know for someone that wanted to prove that all Asians are not out there like William Hung, his weirdo barefoot statement wasn't exactly the way to go.

His song was boring and he's going to have to get a lot better than that to stay. I might should add him to the list of who I think might be going home seeing as how I couldn't even remember his performance.

My guess for top 6:
Sundance - I don't like him & think he actually was the worst the other night but he has that pedigree!

Sanjaya - He isn't the best there but he is just so dang cute & he will get the teen aged girls votes - - - easily.

Blake - My fav. guy so far.

Chris S. - great voice & I think his humor is going to keep folks voting.

It's a toss up for the other 2 spots:

Chris R. - His looks will take him far & he's just as good a singer as some of the more plain looking guys.

Phil - great voice - but, he's no Chris D. from last yr.

Jared - how many ways can you say HANDSOME!

Brandon - good singer but he does absolutly nothing to wow me.

I don't think the remaining 4 even have a chance: A.J., Paul, Nicholas, & Rudy
