I'm really looking forward to seeing who the final thirty-two are. The auditions are entertaining for awhile, but I'm ready for the competition to move on.

Who I'm hoping to see move on (that I can remember offhand, at least :)):
* The Marine (who I think will, based on the news articles about him)
* Ruben (big guy who sang "Ribbon in the Sky")
* Michael Craig (cute sixteen-year old who sang "What's Going on")
* Clayton Aiken (nerdy guy with the great voice)
* Frenchie ("And I Am Telling You" girl)
* Josh Strickland (Ryan Seacrest lookalike)
* "You Can Take Forever..." girl

I'm hoping that Alyson and Cory get cut.

Anyone want to take bets on if they let any of the "big" people through to the final 32? Like that one woman who could really belt out a tune. Seems like I remember (last year) them letting the really good singers who were overweight into this second round, but not a single one went to the finals, where the public could vote.

I know Simon (and the other judges) like to say it like it is. And its true society can be pretty fickle. In the Popstars competition, they were very blunt too. I can remember the judges arguing over a large woman who sang great. One judge was talking about her great voice, the other said, "oh come ON. Popstar?"

I say, let the ones who are good into the "public vote" round, and see what the public has to say about it.

I'm with you Whoami! I am about sick too death of belly buttons. I just want to hear a good voice. Who needs another cookie cutter "popstar". I personally don't care what size they are, if they sing great I would buy their cd, I'm not looking to have fantasies about them or anything! lol

I'd also like to see a really diverse group get into the 32 and let us vote.. and see if the public really requires them to sing out of their bellybuttons..

Oh boy, I couldn't do what they are doing now. If I had to listen to someone else's interpretation of a song, that would mess up the I made in my mind, and I would flub it.

Well this line thing is just mean. You ask them to step forward, they get excited thinking they are in, and the people in the back row are staying ,you are out. How cruel.

Who, I will bet Frenchie and Ruben are staying for the 32.

Hey I think it was cool that the Cory Clark guy went out partying... unless of course he bombs out the next day. But if he can survive, the night out has bought him alot of publicity and name recognition for future shows, as well as establishing him as a swinger - regular guy type

Same with Stefan - didn't realize he was a contestant till just now

The first group was great, and the judges agreed.

Corey did a terrible job, forgot the words, voice sounds weak. So he falls back on flirting with Paula.

If anyone's still here.......do the singers get rated individually now, I hope? Too bad to have a good singer kicked out because a groupmate screws up.

Well there goes my theory - he was bad - and I mean bad as terrible

So pretty much this is all about Simon's eyebrow...right?

That eyebrow goes up, you are dead meat...is that how it goes?

Simon was right, Ruben has that Luther thing going on..his group was lovely. I felt bad for the others in Cory's group..they stayed in and really worked it, and he threw them.

From what I saw last time (not much) these people have to have a fully produced new song or two every week..plus participate in any group numbers... clearly anyone who can't learn the words of PART of one song is out. It only gets harder from here.

I think they know what's going on, and will take it into consideration. At least I am hoping as much.

Overall, the boys really ticked off Simon, and he's going to make them pay.

Yes I agree, awesome, some music finally.

Oh yeah. Those boys are doomed. In reality, it seemed like they were taking some fairly marginal guys to make the numbers balanced...I think all bets are off now, and whoever shines boy or girl has a shot.

I am worried about Julia..it looks like her group is dumping her or vice versa... she was a really good singer. The only hope is they probably would not give her this much camera time if she got booted.

Why don't these girls know any of the words?

Awww Frenchie's a good woman, too. She seems to have fixed things for Julia and the group.

Oh yeah, Julia's group did good. Julia and Kimberly singled out. I totally agreed on the judges assessment...the other 2 girls were kind of ok.

I just love Frenchie...she is totally my fave. I hope she has a different hair color every week.
