Well, the spoilers were all correct and now we know the Amy and and Nicole last names that were left out. Amy Krebs Nicole Tranquillo I actually hate when spoilers are correct because then I start believing them all again and get burned...LOL

What point is Simon trying to prove by putting Antonella through? Did he really dislike her BFF that much...I'm with KL on that one. I never really vote for any of them, but I will really, *really* never vote for her. There really are no stand outs for me. I like Sundance, but only because his last name is full of comedic potential and the commotion his last name is going to cause for the censors. Wife who had baby guy was put through...He made it.

Oh my gosh, when that guy whose wife had the baby sang, he literally gave me chills. I was so happy he made it through! I was also happy to see the two singers (male and female) who had been back-up singers make it through. There were a few whose voices didn't sound that great to me at all and I was perplexed they put them through. I think they'll probably be among the early ones voted off.....but then again, what do I know?!! The person I like never wins. LOL

I think they put Antonella through to further put her 'trained' friend's nose out of joint. She wasn't that good and kept forgetting the words. The other girl (when the last two went in) seemed far better. And what's with putting Sundance through? He was singing badly in the Hollywood auditions and forgot words too, didn't he? Why did they put him through?!

See...I had the same feeling about that. I wonder just what she did to piss Simon off so much. Surely it couldn't be because she was nasty to Bailey.

Aaaarrrrgg! My local Fox channel switched the programming last night without changing the guide info on the satellite. The result was that my TIVO thought AI was on at 10:30, but it actually aired a few hours earlier!! Crud! Can you toss me names/descriptions of the ones who made it through last night?

Spoton, go to Naja's entry at 1:37 on Sunday, February 11. Right now I'm not very impressed by any of the girls. I will probably originally be voting for Brandon since he is originally from Dallas and because my local radio station is supporting him. In 1999 they got together a "boy band" and he was one of the members.

The judges often tell the contestants they do not choose that they are talented and that they expect to see them suscessful somewhere. They get to see these people for a few songs under enormous pressure and they have to make a decision between literally hundreds of people. Of all the people who try out and do not make it there are sure to be some who are successful. By the time they get to Hollywood, there is not a lot of difference between some of them. And I don't think they completely go back to square one once they get to Hollywood. I think if they think someone is good enough from their first auditions, they will still pass them through, even if they did not do as well as they should have. I don't see why anyone would make a decision to never vote for any of these people at this point. We have not seen enough of them to judge their talent or their personalities except in a superficial way. I don't remember Antonella being nasty to Bailey. It was the other girl who was the problem. Antonella was actually pretty nice. I thought the last two girls were pretty close. It would have been a hard decision to choose between them.

I thought the last guy who didn't make it acted like a total jerk. If the young man wants to make it in the entertainment field he should remember that EVERYTHING was being taped, and his little show made him look really bad. Don't get me wrong...I don't blame him for being disappointed or sad, or even angry, but cursing and flipping the judges off really was not a good career move choice. If he decides to come back another year don't you think the people at Idol would remember him from the prior year and that would affect their viewpoint of him? It sure did mine.

Heh, was Antonella the one who after the group sing and Baylie was cut said something like God knows good people and pointed to her and her friend as Baylie was shown crying? I think it was her cuz her friend was going on about how she wasn't there flirting, they were there to work as AI showed us clips of her flirting and one of them said that. My husband and I looked at each other, and just cracked up.

I vaguely remember that in Antonella's first audition that Simon commented on her marketability. For him, I think that's part of the package. Plus, he's probably more willing to overlook someone without training who forgets the words rather than someone with training who forgets the words. The highlight to me were the 4 guys who performed as a group. They took that part of the competition to a whole new level. Probably could have started a boy (or man) band with them. Lots of Talent there.

Oh Kooklie, I completely agree about the four guys! I don't remember seeing a group song where any group did as well as they did together. Told hubby we might be biased, Chris became our favorite during his first interview when he said he wanted to make David Hasslehoff cry, lol, and then he opened his mouth and it was even better cuz he really could sing!

Well, I'm not voting for Antonella...but I don't ever vote for any of them. That's why Chris was voted out last Season..because I sat on my but and not voted.,.otherwise, McPhee would have been gone long ago. I know Antonella wasn't the mean one...And Merisa was better than her and Simon has some alterior motives behind sending her through. And there are no stand-outs this season or early favorites...for me anyway.

I think Sundance is this year's Paris. He's gotten further than he would have without some family connections to the music biz. (Although I think Paris has much more talent.) He has some talent, but not top 12 quality, IMO.

Did you get to see Sundance's first audition? It was fantastic....right on. Now the later auditions have been awful. I don't know what happened. I think they must have passed him, even forgetting his words, even doing an awful job...just remembering that first audition and how it moved all three of them.

Sundance's first audition was very very good. After that he pretty much sounded awful. He made it through due to his family connections. When it came down to the final two girls, I thought for sure Antonella wouldn't make it. Thought the other girl was better. My 18 year son insists they picked Antonella because she was better looking (looking to draw in young males). Who knows? I won't vote for Antonella, that's for sure.

From what I have seen so far, the guys are good. I like Chris and Sanjaya (I know I probably spelled that wrong). I was so sad his sister didn't make it. For the females, I like the woman with the 3 year old daughter. I loved her initial audition....and was really touched when she thought she was going home and started to cry. Antonella is not the one who made the comment about God likes good people. That was her friend...the same one who went out flirting instead of practicing. The same one who refused to help Baylie with her part because it would mess her up. I was so glad to see the friend didn't make it. I did think that the other girl that went in with Atonella was better. I certainly liked her voice. But I thought they were both better than one or two of the others that were put through

I thought Antonella sang better than her friend, and I did not see her forget the words, although her friend did (not as badly as Baylee, though). Antonella was the only one from the group that I thought did well at all. Her friend should have been eliminated at that point. Does anyone know the name of the song that everyone was singing in the clips where they had the back-up singers? I think Katharine sang it last year and I love it. Lyrics have something about knocking on your window pane. Any help? Also, who has recorded the song?
