Why doesn't somebody bump this earlier in the day on Tuesdays so I remember to watch???

Sorry, but the brain is getting fuzzy in my old age!

Is it on Wednesday too? It was last week.

ETA: AGDee, it is on tomorrow. Set your alarm. But, Nittanyalum is right. I'm getting tired of the auditions

You aren't missing much, I'm bored of the auditions by now. I wish they would just start with Hollywood week, they can flash back to some auditions if they really, really feel the need. But by now, it's all been done and we all know they're just letting the goofy people through trying to make "good tv". But the joke's old.

I feel for little Josiah and I think he has a great story, I just wish I liked his voice more. I actually don't think he's very good at all.

I LOVE the Australian Michael guy from Buckhead. He is amazing!!!

Oh, and the young 16 year old dark-haired guy, he's amazing too.

LeslieAGD · #95 02-12-2008, 11:04 PM

I can't believe they put that Josiah kid through...he broke the rules by not singing with the band and then he had an absolutely SH*TTY performance. He's going to be the Sanjaya of this season.

On a brighter note, I love Australian Michael, the Irish Girl, the Rocker Nurse, and the 16-year old dark haired kid. And, there was another guy (maybe hispanic?) that they showed near the beginning of the show that was also great.

nittanyalum · #96 02-12-2008, 11:07 PM

Yes, I like the rocker nurse too! And the girl from Atlanta who had just lost her Dad. Oh! And the girl that had lost her voice but still had a great final audition. I like a lot of them, I guess, it will be interesting to see who they put in the top 24!!

DolphinChicaDDD · #97 02-13-2008, 12:28 AM

I didn't get to see my friend from high school tonight, maybe he was in earlier. I really just want to see who is in the top.

She's a DG at Florida, and I was looking forward to actually watching and voting for someone this time around.

If you watch the video at about 1:30 she does the DG anchor in her little dance. Paula and Randy suck.

Wait, that hairflip thing is a DG dance?

I love how at 3:56 Simon says she's possibly the most annoying person he'd ever met in his life. I have to agree she was grating on the nerves. And singing-wise, I thought it was a fair cut tonight.

i actually know buck from when i went to georgia southern

I was bummed they cut Joey. He was ill, but I still think he sang well enough to make it through.
(He was the very first audition on the first day that sang "Sunday Morning" and last night he sang before the black girl who was losing her voice).

I missed it last night, but when AI was starting this season one local radio station was saying there were a few "planted" contestants who actually already had recording deals, but never made it. Apparently the Irish girl had even released a couple songs in the US, but to no avail of furthering her career.

One was an Irish girl with a guitar and the other was a hispanic musician too. If I remember correctly.

I'd hate for this to be true, but after the last couple seasons and what's happened, they may be trying to swing things.

Her personality came off as grating. Not sure if she's like that in real life but I could tell that the producers edited all her footage to make her unlikeable. Her voice is good but there were others who I was definitely more blown away by. The Irish girl, the 16 year old guy and the Australian guy (from the ATL!!!!!!!) were amazing.

I don't doubt AI planting people. The show has produced some very unsuccessful contestants over the past few years. Taylor Hicks never did much of anything, Katherine McPhee was dropped by the label as well as Ruben.

I am really happy with the people they put through to the top 24 (and also those they didn't).
I am glad David Hernandez made it even though it was not unanimous.

The Irish girl is now being criticized because back in 2001, she was signed by a major record label, put out a CD but it flopped miserably.

The criticism is that the show is supposed to be for undiscovered talent and not people that have had a shot or been signed before.

I thought after Season 4 it was actually a rule, that you could not be on the show if you had signed with a label before?
