The last contestant said they were given a list of 200 songs for their final audition. With the number of people remaining, you'd think that they wouldn't all pick the same song. Maybe the producers got a special deal to use the Bryan Adams songs. I liked the last guy and disagreed with the judges comments. I liked his version more than they did, but he was just trying too hard to be 'special' and stand out.

I think the last guy just got messed up with the auditions with the band. I think he did not feel comfortable singing with them, because he did not get it "down" in the audition. He thought he could do better on his own, but as it said, it backfired on him. He looked a mess, tired and close to tears the whole time. I doubt if he got any sleep at all. I wonder if the producers clued the judges in on the problems he had, because if they had gone by that audition, he would have been gone. I suspect they were just being kind because I kind of doubt if he will be one of the 24. I wonder if he has made peace with his family. He did not say whether he was still living in his car. He has a great voice, but I think he is the kind that is not going to be able to take the stress. I was surprised at the girl that Paula turned down. Paula is the one that usually gives the yes in that situation. But I did not like that the girl was whining about not being given a fair chance "like everyone else." Heck, she got the same chance eveyone else did. Yes, she had a good voice, but let's face it, they all have good voices at this point.

I switched to BB at 9pm. So they haven't gotten to the final 24 yet? Does anyone know if David Cook made it though? Although, if they haven't gotten to the final cuts, I think he got a pass to the last day. I thought his name sounded familiar and then I realized he was a friend of someone who had me listen to his music and I have him as a MySpace friend! Small world! Well, I guess not, considering it's MySpace! LOL I also get LOTS of band requests since my son has a band and they see me on his page or other bands and request me. Since my son is a struggling musician, I always approve them.

I think they're down to 50, Watching, and will be down to 24 by the end of tonight. I didn't catch any names, so don't know about your MySpace friend. Simon was so wrong about that poor guy who didn't want the band - completely got his motives mixed up I thought. To me it sounded like he didn't feel he could sing it the traditional way, and needed to do it his way to sing it the best he could. He was obviously emotionally spent and not had enough sleep. I thought Simon would have picked up on it more. I agree, Allie, it does make you wonder if he'll be strong enough for the show, he seems emotionally quite immature.

I liked the concept of putting some straight through while having some sing again.. I think there are some good ones this year, hope those I like make it to the finals..

I was surprised at the girl that Paula turned down. Paula is the one that usually gives the yes in that situation. I was also very surprised, Allietex. She sort of wasn't given a fair chance. They bent over backwards for the kid who asked the band to leave and his voice isn't all that; whereas Brooke (is that her name) has a beautiful voice. Paula is up and down. When I heard her sing, I thought she'd be tough to beat and they didn't even put her through.

I liked that Simon told Paula she was torturing one of the girls before she told her that she made it. The girl was a basket case and Paula kept going on and on and on leading her to believe that she didn't make it.

Amanda Overmyer, the rocker chick and David Archuleta, the 16 year old made it. So far, I am in agreement with the choices.

Not agreeing with their next 3 choices. Then, they ran through about 3 people who they didn't provide any backstory at all.

I feel for the kid who lived in his car. He is a basket case. It was probably best he was cut cause I don't think he could handle the pressure.

I was very sad to see the kid in the car go. i also liked the geeky boy who was one of the last 2 boys. At least he can feel good that Simon was behind him - and that he apologized for his horrible behavior when he walked off on him earlier.

Thanks for the info on the last 2 girls. Bummer. I was hoping it was the other girl. I liked Joanne but thought her voice was screechy. It hurt my ears.
