True... True...

I cannot wait until Kara vs Bikini girl ROUND 2 in Hollywood.

I thought he was good!

Haha. My boyfriend would've too if he watched it. I don't know anything about techniques, I just thought it sounded pretty decent to me. They didn't show many that were really amazing, so I guess there wasn't a lot to compare her to.

I wasn't insulting the talent, but the cliche edit...

But, since they aren't doing Idol gives back this season, how are they going to tug on our heartstrings? ;)

It was almost too much even for American Idol

Copied from the Miss America thread....I saw "American" in the title and got confused.

That "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" guy was good but he completely oversang the song. I was surprised the judges didn't say anything about it.

The last girl who sang was really good! Randy said it perfectly when he described her as a combination of Fantasia and Mary J. Blige. I really hope to see her in the Top 12.

A PHI!!!! to Asa the Band Director!

What! Are you sure??? That is horrible!!!

On a lighter note, I saw a friend of mine from the college years in one of the clips!

I disagree, I think it is CLASSIC american idol... they love to do those cliche edits with over-played sympathy songs... My favorite was last season, when that big short black girl had to take care of her and her mom (mom being in the hospital), and they gave her so much time, and you just felt SOOOO bad to this girl, and she totally bombed singing, but in an adorable way. You SOO wanted her to be good, and she SOO wasn't and instead of laughing, you felt SOO freaking bad for her, that I am surprised they didn't put up a phone number for a donation line....

p.s. I would of totally donated!!!

I really thought the first words out of Simon's mouth were going to be that it was too "broadway." I was surprised he liked him.

And I didn't think bikin girl was hot at all...kind of a butterface, IMO.

I agree....He so overdid it! I bet he'd be really good if he just didn't try quite so hard.

And about bikini girl - that's the whole reason she wore that....so you wouldn't look at her face....(or listen to her voice)

And here I thought they would be showing less of the people who, suck. The girl with like 3 colors in her hair (I cannot for the life of me remember what she sang). But OMG I was cringing and saying outloud "omg please stop". It was painful listening to her.
I really liked the guy who lost his wife recently, I think he sang California Dreamin' and Randy said he was one of the best. He was awesome. I really felt bad for him (losing his wife).

Didn't she sing "Somewhere over the Rainbow"? I remember wondering if she dyed her hair to go with the "rainbow" theme of her song.

I just remembered who 2 of my favorites were.....the guy who sang "Reflection", and the Banana Guy.....lol I LOVED his outfit and dance moves!!!
