Muse, I was thinking the same thing about the Justin lookalike! Didn't see it at all!!!

Did you see how Simon snorted his drink out his nose when the girl sang "you can take forever...."

I did kind of feel sorry for the singers that the judges would say "you know this is going to be a competition between talent and looks"..uh...am I in the ugly but talented group????

I thought the Justin lookalike could sing, but I also thought there was something about him a little weird. His voice sounded just like Michael Jackson when he was talking..
I agree about the girl with the hair just like Nikki's, she needs to change that. (but she could sing)

I think they keep the really good candidates hidden from us at this point.
Tonight, they will cut it down to 32, and we will get to see them.
I had fun last season following these kids through the process and I'll continue to watch.

That guy that look a drink off Paula's cup and then hit on Simon, ewwwwww! He was creepy!!! (so was the "worst" singer in the world) Gawd......love this show.

I'm having a hard time believing that some of the really bad singers are not there on a lark, trying to get their 15 seconds of fame by being a big joke. Could they really be this deluded and weird to think they have talent?!

I watched the entire season last year and it doesn't seem to drag. Once they get the elimination rounds going it goes pretty fast.

LAst season it did seem like there were groups of 10 that had more talent than others and being in that group would be a disadvantage. I don't know how they divided them up.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what expenses are covered when the kids "go to Hollywood". I assume they have to pay their own transportation, but does AI put them up in the hotel? I hope so.

I'm also curious about why Paula was absent. I missed the beginning so I didn't see any explanation.

The auditions hooked me, but I'm kinda looking forward to seeing how they progress. I'm guessing that as the weeks go by and these people get more used to singing in front of millions of people their skills will improve and they get more polished? I'm really looking forward to seeing the final results.

Here's a little info about Lady Tiger, the "beg to diffa" girl who tried to go around with Simon, from our fair city of Detroit (cough cough)

i loved the five-year-old's "the caucasian guy" didn't like me, "but the brown guy" did. he was so cute! i was falling down laughing when he sang (to paula abdul) "let's get it onnnnnnn".

i think it said "paula had another commitment"...does this mean she was 'committed' somewhere?! after some of the auditions, i would need to be committed! the guy drinking her coke was hysterically funny. he needs to do stand up comedy, not singing!

the guy who did madonna's 'like a virgin' probably knows of what he speaks (singing is too inaccurate of a word for what he did)! i can't see him with a boyfriend or girlfriend! i have to wonder if some of these people are 'plants' for humor and ratings, or if they really are out there thinking they are good. i think they let him go so long and even do part of another song because he was so funny!

LOL on that "superstore" remark SeaMonkey! I probably wouldn't have caught that (when I watched my tape) if I hadn't seen your remark!

:) we aim to please.. actually, since I was watching it "live" I'm surprised I caught it!

The scary thing about the Like a Virgin guy is that when he got to sing a second song he sounded exactly the same and use the same body and arm movements..

Tonight's dilemma.. AI/Bachelorettte/Dawson's Creek.. basically i'll skip the first 30 min of Bachelorette.. gotta see all of AI and tape dawson's and last hour of Bach.. and watch Mole..

Brenda, that's exactly what happened last season when they chose the final 30. They made the easy decisions first, and put them into the first two groups of ten, and then picked ten out of the remaining hollywood people. That meant that the three picked out of the last group were likely to be less talented than those not picked out of the first two groups (hope I explained that well enough!). The producers should have learnt their lesson this time and spread the talent across the groups more fairly - don't know if they did though!

I'm also hoping they're not going to give too much background info on the finalists. Remember last year one of the Js got the sympathy vote after saying he wanted his deaf grandmother to hear him sing? It's a nice story and all, but not really fair on the others.

That was Jim, and it wasn't his grandmother - both of his parents are deaf, and the comment was made during his initial audition. He signed through his first audition and he was given the pass to Hollywood... that was the last they said of it until he got to the finals.

J for Jim though, so I was almost right . I think that story did give him a lot of support with the voters though, even if it wasn't explicitly mentioned. That and Simon was always critical. I didn't mean to suggest he told his story just to get sympathy, just that that's what happened.
