He was good. I was sad to see he couldn't go on in the competition. Isn't that age discrimination?

I understand why the man was let through to sing last night -- with his story and the petitions, and they didn't judge him yes or no.

But the rules are no older than 28, right?

What about folks from previous episodes -- like the lady in yellow? And I remember them briefly showing a man who was in his 40s who was really bad.

It irks me because the only reason could be -- for television purposes.

I didn't think the man's point was that he go through to Hollywood. He knew what the rules were. This morning on GMA, they said the petition was a diversion for his wife in her final days. I suspect all he wanted to do was to put closure to his wife's memory. Props to Simon, he was very respectful.

Kookliebird, that was my understanding as well. It was so touching and I was grateful Simon showed some respect.

Are there any celebrities over 30 who don't use botox/collagen?

I seem to have been misunderstood, perhaps.

I wasn't criticizing that man -- as I said, I got why they let him do it. And to be honest, I bought his story and had a tear in my eye.

If I were the producers, I would have done the same (let him sing in front of the judges). And I was saying that the fact that he couldn't compete must have been understood and acknowledged since the judges didn't "judge" him.

My point was about letting others go through who are over the age limit/outside the rules. THAT is pure TV and not a competition, and that's what irked me.

It's age discrimination and shouldn't be allowed.

It's funny, KL. When I first turned on the show (a few mins late and obviously after they'd intro'd Olivia), I said to my husband, "I think that's Olivia Newton John...is it? It looks like her but women are all starting to have the same 'plastic surgery' look."

Does anybody have Larry King on? He has several of the featured rejects from last night on the show, Plus Kellie Pickler, Ace, Ruben, and LaToya London. The widower was just on singing his song again for Larry.

I am not sure where the legal definition of age discrimination kicks in, but I seriously doubt it would apply here.

Lord, if they had to let any age try out, they would never be able to screen them all out.

What I would like to see is a version of American Idol for older people who have never been professional singers, or at least have never had a record contract. I think it would be fun to see if people like him could carry a show, without being young or "beautiful." Wouldn't it be great to see some guy or gal who is in their sixties suddenly become rich and famous as a singer.

Jimmer, Kearie, is there a third showing of the show like a couple days later or something? When does that happen? I missed the first 15 minutes and fell asleep before it was run again later.

Sometimes they repeat Larry King's lighter entertainment type shows on the weekend so you might keep an eye out for it there.

I missed why the man was singing. His wife died and he got a petition signed to sing on the show for her?

Thanks.

Not just to get on the show to sing for her, Cricket. It was something they both worked on.

I don't know the whole story, but the petition was something for him and his wife to focus on and help her through the hard times of cancer and chemotherapy...I guess she loved the show and knew there was no or little chance he would make it. The petition was to get him on the show and Audition. She died 2 days before the audition and they let him through to sing in her honor.
