I went through my TIVO and deleted auditions. At one point last night said - according to TIVO - that it was Hollywood so it was left to record. Blech. If it weren't for the 2 guys from Iowa, I probably wouldn't tune into Hollywood either. But while I know they didn't make it to to 24 [not a spoiler, really just an assumption] I want to see how they did. IF they even show them again.

Rocker nurse was great! Her voice reminded me of Janis Joplin.

I really liked the voice of the young woman whose father passed away recently.

I really liked the voice of the young woman whose father passed away recently. My heart broke for Asia (sp?) Even crusty ole Simon was taken aback. She made me cry. I was sooo happy she had a very nice voice. I hope she goes far. What a gal, being able to go on and perform (and change her song) rather than just running home. Her Dad looked so young. It's a horrible tragedy.

Oh, my throat had this hard lump and I had tears.. I could understand why Paula had to compose herself and how Simon and Randy just comforted her. I liked the rocker nurse a bunch, Mocha!! I read that Kat McPhee left the label, wasn't fired; she also just married a guy quite a bit older than she is.

That's possible Sea, but the article I read made it sound like they dropped her when they dropped Taylor Hicks. However, as far as Ruben is concerned, it stated that he left the label and it wasn't very clear whether he left on his own or was dropped. However, he won five years ago so I'm assuming his contract was up and he was free to leave on his own if he wanted to.

I wasn't impressed by Asiah's singing. Yes I do have a heart!

Really, Ketchuplover? I love the huskiness of her voice. I also liked Joanna (or Joann?) last night and Simon said "No" to her. I hope he's proven very wrong. She's also got a beautiful speaking voice.

Who was Joann/Joanna? Did she get through on Randy and Paula's votes?

Lexie, the label later changed their statement about Taylor. After he stated on his myspace page that the parting was mutual, they said they hoped he would come back and "play music" for them after making his own cd. Even later, they stated they didn't want to shove any music down his throat and would listen to his finished cd. Sorry this is OT, and I don't have links right now, but I HATE the way the label handled this. I am very happy that the audition phase of AI is over. I only wish they would show much more of Hollywood week.

Roxip, Joann/Joanna was the black gal who is a plus size model. She's very pretty. I heard her singing and came from another room to see her. I also enjoy just listening to her speak. To me, her voice is very pure. Yes, Randy and Paula put her though, so I hope she ends up going far and Simon has to eat crow.

"I am very happy that the audition phase of AI is over. I only wish they would show much more of Hollywood week." Me too, they spend so much time on the auditions, and then someone who seemed good at that stage gets cut in the Hollywood round and we don't even see why. I guess as they can't pad it out (much) with the ~unusual~ people that they think people won't be entertained.

Thanks Mak1. Sounds like the label handled it badly. I read where he and Katherine were "dropped," but didn't read anything later on about them. And what is the deal with Ruben - did he leave on his own?

Lexie, at the time they made the announcement, it sounded like Ruben could be assigned to a different label within the BMG/Sony corporation. I haven't heard any more since then, though.

Isn't anyone watching tonight? I just want to go on record as saying I liked Jacob's voice very much. I just don't get where the judges are coming from this year. They let all these people through and now they don't like them. I loved the tone of Jacob's voice and thought he would do well with many different song choices. I'm getting very turned off from this show because of the superior attitude of the judges. They aren't the REAL stars of this show.

several of the guys have really blown me away. The rocker guy that just did Queen was so good. Simon said the best audition so far. The young 16 yr old that did Brian Adams was really great too & so dang cute. The kinda funny looking (Clay Akin type) is still in & had a good audition.

Tonights show was really good. I guess most folks watched BB. Not me, if I have to choose, it's AI all the way. I love me some BB & hope the 2 shows don't conflict all season because I'll just end up passing on BB all the way. Thank you to those of you that watch & post on BB so I can at least keep up in here.

So, they are running this sort of like "so you think you can dance". The first audition, if they put you through, you're set for the last day. If you don't make it through, it's like 'dance for your life' or in this case, 'sing for your life'. At least, they are showing some of the better performances.

Yeah, there were quite a few songs that repeated a lot. I wonder if they were given a list of songs as examples on what shows off a voice best, and some chose right off the list. From what I've seen so far there are some pretty special men. I'm beginning to look forward to the regular part of the show!
