Ok another dork reporting in. I loved it. I really like watching the auditions. The auditions are also my favorite part of American Idol.

I thought it was ok but was bored after awhile.

Both me and my daughter love the "Cupcake" and felt that they should have brought her to the academy to try her - she could lose some weight to be more in character there. But she was fab-u-loose!

Maybe Cupcake will turn up somewhere else, ala Jennifer Hudson? I don't think she was right for Sandy, but she definitely has talent and a great attitude. I thought the 42-year-old guy who tried out for Danny had the part nailed, but he's way too old to play a high school senior. He won't make the final cut. I loved this show from start to finish. It's AI without the meanness. I love how Ian tells the auditioners to start singing with "Well, off you go then," just like Simon. Charming Britishism! {Babyjax takes a seat on the Dork Couch with Lexi, Mamapors, et al.}

We only watch the audition shows of these things, including AI, don't care once they get their picks because it's not funny anymore. I love the girl with dark hair whose dad told her about the audition. She just sparkles. I can't imagine the 42 year old guy on stage with the 17 year old girl from Chicago. The play would be a little creepy. He looks old and she looks like she's 12.

I found myself changing channels during the show. I doubt that I'll watch it again. And that older guy who made it through, did know the role but he's way too old and you can tell.

I really liked the soccer coach guy who was the last one to audition in LA (judge commented that they saved Danny for last). He has dreamy eyes and I definitely see him as Danny.

I was a little surprised that the blonde-haired pharmaceutical girl didn't make it through. I thought she did a great job with "Sandra Dee."

I think the old guy is too old. Sorry, he seems likable and all, but he's way past the age of the part. I like the 17 year old and the brown-haired pixieish girl.

Think the pharmaceutical gal couldn't dance. There were a couple of gals who would be great for Rizzo. I wonder if they will cast any of these competitors in other parts?

I think the "old" guy thought he was auditioning for Grease:The Next Generation

I was thinking that they should use some of the runners up for other parts too Texannie, but it doesn't seem like they will. I enjoyed it. It's fun to see that type of dancing. I always prefer AI when they get down to smaller groups so I think the future episodes will be less "boring".

This is like Fame only they are really seriously vested in the winner. Their profit depends on the winners - they have to be both talented and liked by the audience, who is then supposed to travel to NYC and see them on stage. Although, I think it would be a gret thing to do for a touring company, where they can come to the people

The show certainly does seem to have something from AI, Fame and some others. I too like AI after the numbers are reduced and will continue to watch this one. It is so difficult to think of someone else portraying Danny and Sandy though. Hard act to follow.

I forgot all about Fame! Yes, how many of the audience will be able to go all the way to Broadway to see their winner, not many.

It was alright. I'll give it another shot. I think that if the couple you vote for wins...you should get complimentary tickets to the show...opening night. It's only fair. :D My horse is already out of it...I liked the Pharmacy gal. The 17 year old was cute and did a good job. Didn't care for none of the Danny guys.

Well, I think just like on AI, they're hiding the best ones from us till later. We haven't seen everybody yet.

As much as I'd like to believe that, I don't think that they do that on AI. I'm trying to think of a top ten finalist where they didn't show their audition? It puts anyone in that category in a big disadvantage from a fan base perspective.

I was able to catch this on Bravo rerun...for those who question how many will go see the winners on broadway, check out this from Playbill magazine: "The upcoming Broadway revival of Grease - in which the leads are being cast via NBC's "You're The One That I Want" - has already sold $1.3 million in ticket sales in just two days."

I don't know if he can sing, but Benji would have nailed the dance part.

Anyone watching tonight? I actually debated, but ended up enjoying it more than last week. Interesting little subplot of a guy and a gal in a real life relationship--cute at first and then sad ending.

That relationship the "cute" real life couple was doomed once she didn't make it. She didn't even feign happiness that her boyfriend went through. I only saw the last half hour last week...this week seemed better. I kinda liked the girl they called back but told her to soften her look. Sad to see her leave. We might have a ringer with the blonde guy?
