I didn't see the star quality in Cory that the judges did. It just surprised me they liked him so much, but they often surprise me, lol.

Kimberly - law student, great voice, a bit unusual. She doesn't have an Idol look, but i bet she goes.

simon says this year is vocalists versus image.

Simon says 2 different aspects this year.....talent over image. Kimberly's voice is powerful and has great range.

Kimberly is wonderful. She needs me and Bat to style her.

Much better guys in Nashville.

Last audition - guy is good, no image. He looks older, according to Simon. Tell him to dress younger and take him to Hollywood.

Oh, thanks Mak....I love TV, I didn't feel up to a 233 week commitment, tho! Is it 32 weeks or do we get to boot more than one a week?

Car, I hope I explain this okay. Last year it was 30 finalists. Initially, they were split into groups of 10. Each week the contestants from one of the groups of 10 performed. Audience voted and 3 of the 10 advanced. So after everyone got to perform, that left 9 to advance to the next round. Plus there was one judge's choice spot to be awarded by the judges to 1 contestant from the 21 who did not get voted through. That gave us an even 10 finalists. From then, I think, we got rid of 1 per week.

This year, since it is 32 finalists, I don't know how they are doing it. Maybe 4 groups of 8 contestants with 3 advancing out of each group? That would leave 12, no judge's choice. Then who knows? Knock off two or one? It could take 3-4 months depending on how they do it.

roflmao about 1) you can take forever and shove it up your *ss, and 2). the worst singer in the world. that guy doesn't have a clue. he actually reminded me of a guy friend of mine pretending to be eric cartman from south park. man that just cracked me up. of course when my friend would sing like cartman, it was a joke. lol. this kid was serious. and the looks on their faces...priceless. too funny! :)

ROTFL when Simon told that guy to wrap his shirt up in a ball and give it back to Ryn!! LOL
Did they say why Paula isn't there??
The girl singing Bohemiem Rhapsody gave me chills!

I liked Edwin (guy who said he'd kiss Simon) and You Can Take Forever girl. Not really because of their singing, but because they seemed fun. :)

I'm sort of puzzled about some of the judges' decisions tonight. More so than the last two episodes. Like the guy they compared to Justin? I didn't see it at all. I thought he was terrible. A friend and I were watching the show, and both of us were cringing through his song. I thought for *sure* that it was one of the bad auditions. But then they sent him on...there were one or two more cases like that, IMO. And of course there were the judges going on and on about people who were just okay, too. There were some very good people to compensate, though.

Did anyone notice how the security guy was sort of hovering around when Simon went out of the audition room when the one p*ssed off rejected contestant was out there? He looked nervous. :)

The Bohemian Rhapsody girl would be wise to dye her hair differently. Nikki from the first season had a very similar cut and color during the tour. She has a great voice, but I'm not sure that people will vote for someone who reminds them of a previous contestant.

Muse..I was thinking the same thing about that girls hair, I bet the stylists will have her change it.
I also am sure there are tons of armed security that that they don't show.

Pamy, I watched with ya! Kind of, lol. We had a birthday party for my sister tonight, and I'd put a tape in to record. I let Darren know and several of our guest asked if we could watch...so we spent an hour hollering in front of the tv, laughing, crying, and having a great time. Not really big on watching tv with a house full of guest, but we had a great time!

Once again, I enjoyed myself greatly....its such a treat when someone gets up there, opens their mouths, and sings wonderfully!

Thanks Hermione. I am not sure I will like them enough to watch til summer! I think I might only like the bad audition part.

The final show is May 7th - the only reason I remember that is because that was my grandma's birthday and 3 days after mine, so for some reason it stuck... I think that Hermione's right (as usual) about the lineup for the next 4 weeks -4 groups of 8 make more sense than the way I had it figured!

Bummer for those who are in a group with many good singers. If not for the split they may have made the cut if in another group. Is there any info on how they are divided? I doubt they leave it to chance.

My guess is that a pannel divids them to give a balance of men/women and skill.
