For those of you who think MN was bad, Simon came out weeks ago saying that Seattle (which airs tonight!) was the worst city they've ever held auditions in!

I don't know what to think about that. Part of me is happy that the talented musicians in our area stayed away, and part of me is sad because I know there is so much musical talent in this city. What I do know is that I won't be watching AI this season (after tonight) because of the completely over-the-top insulting remarks about my city that FOX thinks is good PR for the show.

I have no doubt that the AI auditions bring all the freaks out of the woodwork, if only so they can get on TV. And from the previews I've seen, that will be the case on tonight's show.
