I agree, that was brutal for Garrett. Paula's video was ..well I resented that she and Randy would take up so much time.. this isn't their show.. and there wasn't much merit to the product either.

Cricket, Colton is the one that Paula and Randy wanted over Kyle. I loved Kyle - he was soooooooooo "Clay Aiken."

The four who got eliminated last night were all, in my opinion, quite weak. Although I thought Chikeze would go first...but there was certainly nothing to quibble about. I did find it interesting that the two who were in the "couple" thing where they found out in Hollywood who was eliminated (Colton and Joann) were both among the first to go. I'm looking forward to a different genre next week. That should give us a better idea on who will be stronger contenders. Hard to tell with the unusual song choices this week.

I was OK with the ones who went home. I was sorry that Joann went before some of the others, but she was not going to last very long anyway. Her voice, although she has a nice tone, is not all that strong. I do believe, however, that any of them might have stayed over some of the others, if they had just chosen a song that showcased their voices. I believe that poor song choice is the biggest downfall of everyone who gets evicted.

Yes Kitty... there is only one "Clay Aiken," but I was willing to give Kyle a pass as a Clay Aiken Wannabe!

I guess I'm showing my age, but I kinda liked Paula and Randy's video. I thought Paula looked amazing and sang without slurring, which for Paula seems to be quite an accomplishment. And the woman looks darned good. I don't know what her age is but no matter what it is...she looks pretty darned good.

Roxip, I liked the video too. Glad I am not the only one. She can definitely still sing.

The sad thing is, most of the people under 20 or so don't realize how talented Paula is.

Amy Davis, my god!! Very pretty girl but the only singer of which my dog left the room while singing. I mean, based on that, you wonder how they ever let her through in the first place. It had to be definitely wrong song choice and nerves. Yeah, that's it! I don't recall EVER seeing her before. Anyway, poor Colton! Don't hold it in, let it allllll out!! I like crying.

Cricket, Colton is the one that Paula and Randy wanted over Kyle. I loved Kyle - he was soooooooooo "Clay Aiken." Yes, he could have gone far. Even though Simon (who wanted him) said he didn't see him in the top 12, I did. He had a much stronger voice than Colton.

But, if you remember, in Clay's season when the judges each picked a wildcard and Clay was voted in by the voters, I don't think Simon saw Clay going very far. Simon also didn't think Taylor Hicks would make the Final 12. (But, while I liked Taylor Hicks, he's no Clay Aiken. )

The judges' comments/advice is often ridiculous and ridiculously inconsistent. I thought their critique of Kady really took the cake (these are actual quotes lol) Randy: It was so restrained and controlled ... I thought you got lost a little in the song like your concentration was a little gone. Simon: When you do Britney, you're brilliant, and then when you do you, the lights go off. Simon: When you're somebody else you're fantastic ... and I don't know who could impersonate you - a pencil or something .... I'm trying to give you constructive advice Paula: I think we all agree that you get kinda lost in like 'how should I be' .... Just be .... Just be. Randy: Just be you.

Usually I agree with Simon, but DH and I totally disagreed on Kady. I thought she was great. Very controlled and beautiful. I got goosebumps (Kelly Clarkson used to give me goosebumps every week). A pencil could impersonate her? That was a little over the top, even for Simon.

I've picked me 4 women & 3 men after just the 1st "we vote" wk for top 12. I won't name names because I only know them by face at this point. The others are going to really be fighting for the other slots.

If Kady is the one I'm thinking about...her singing wasn'tbad but I thought her interview portion made her look really odd. Almost like a flat personality.

Yes, They are going in order by the decades. Last week 60s, this week 70s, next week 80s. That is straight from Nigel's mouth in the interview I saw him do on TV. (Nigel the exec producer)

I'm really looking forward to tonight. I can't wait to see Jason Castro sing again, and I hope that the other Jason steps it up a notch. I thought his voice was really good and he is a great-looking guy. But mainly I want to see Jason Castro again. There's just something about that kid that appeals to me.

EEEEEW! I certainly hope not. Given David A's past background as a professional singer I doubt he would commit such a PR mistake. He seems quite competent and collected.

Are we waiting for top 12 to get out of this auditions thread? I mean we are well out of auditons. I say tonight we start the Top 10 Boys sing thread. Is that ok?

Thanks for changing the threads Naja. Glad I wasn't the only one that was wondering that.
