Thanks, Jimmer!

Can/should my Simon post be moved from the S8 area?

ETA: saw your other post - thank you!

In real time, Hollywood week is going on right now, so there are lots of spoilers out there.

Watching The Biggest Loser but I'll be watching a recording of it. What has it been like so far?

They had some really good singers tonight. Those two 16-year-old girls were awesome - especially the girl that sang At Last.

I'm happy to hear that they are showing some decent talent in the auditions. I don't mind some fun stuff for laughs but I like to see some good performances as well.

I haven't watched AI in years- since the second season. But I watched tonight. They didn't seem to have as many joke/bad singers as I remembered from when I last watched.

I kinda liked the guy Tyler....the one that had that 70's look to him. The young 16 year olds were fantastic.

It seemed like more females made it through than the guys.

How many weeks do they usually do the audition shows?

Mgm, the listings say Hollywood week round 1 is Tue Feb. 9. So we have city auditions until then. This is also when Ellen supposedly joins the show.

Then the first time we vote is Tue Feb. 23, when we will be voting on the top 12 girls.

Less cruelty tonite from the producers and Simon made it more bearable to watch. I hope this change continues thru the rest of the auditions.

Just came here to post that! I was flipping between AI and Biggest Loser but did manage to catch a few good ones! I can't watch all the crazies...

Cancer guy is kinda hot.

The clark kent mother fella was something else.

The 16 year olds are amazing.

There were some good singers tonight, but none that really caught my attention to the point where I would say "that is who I will root for."

I liked Kara much better tonight than last season. Maybe she feels more comfortable. No one is going to be comparing her to Paula. And she seeme to have taken on some of the nuturing role that Paula filled, but still retaining some of her own edge.

I also liked the guest judge a lot. Don't remember her name. She seemed very knowledgable and did not let Simon overpower her.

Simon seemed a lot more relaxed and actually laughed out loud several times.

I have to say, I am not looking forward to Ellen. Not sure why. I think she is very cute and funny, just not sure how her brand of humor will fit into this show format. Guess all we can do is hope for the best.

MGM, I also liked Tyler. He was cool, man.

Allie, the guest judge was Victoria Beckham from Spice Girls.

I liked that first guy who made it through, I think his name was Luke? He was one of the guys playing the guitar and harmonizing while waiting.

I didn't realize that the cancer survivor, Justin Williams, was on the show last year. Here is his Hollywood group performance. AI8 Winner Kris Allen was in his group.

I like Ellen a lot. I'm just not sure that she is right for this show. I'd feel better if they stayed with three judges. I was probably one of the few here that liked Kara last year but four judges makes it too much about the judges and not enough about the contestants. Anyway I'm keeping an open mind.

I liked Victoria Beckham more than I thought, and I agree that the cancer survivor was cute. But not overly impressed with anybody so far.

(I am watching Biggest Loser for the first time and watched AI during the commercial breaks...that's the beauty of these early audition shows...you can FF through the junk!).

IMO, Mary J seems like a snob.

I like Cancer Guy, and at the beginning of her second season on the show, I still have no idea who Kara is. She's superfluous for me, just like she was last year. I just don't think there's a need for a 4th judge. Beckham's participation was a bit laughable, she hasn't really had an illustrious musical career. She's mostly famous for dressing in ridiculous clothing.

She had 15ish singles with the Spice Girls, and another 5ish on her own. I'd say she's big in popular music.

Kara is on the radio now here, my dh hates her show because all she does is talk about how she would have sung it, or name drop of when she met whatever artist.

I remember her from Spice Girls fame, I guess I was just being snarky about her lack of talent. IMHO, popularity and talent don't necessarily go hand in hand. I'd probably even feel that way if one of my teen idols were on the panel. Looking back, they weren't that talented, they just had that "it" factor that Simon's always talking about.

Ok, I'm going to go Google Kara. She must have done something at some time or another.....
