I agree Matt the boy who was 16...I feel dirty because he was cute!! And I love the Spanish girl and the "Crack Baby" girl!!!

That boy who juggled and stuff...that was the best thing I have ever seen on TV in a long time!!!!!

Wanda Skyes does an AI skit and it so funny, "It's beauitful. They're so mean, that's beautiful." I'm loving it!!

I thought it was boring. I actually fell asleep for a bit. The only good singer I remember is Crack Baby. I know thats mean but I cant rememebr her name and you know who Im talking about. She has a good voice. I did roll my eyes though when I heard her story bc Im hoping she's not another Kellie Pickler. I didnt feel much sympathy for her and hope that little bit wasnt used to garner some sympathy votes

I felt BAD for that first girl who said Jewel was her real life Idol - and then they just tear her a new one! Even Jewel said she was horrible to her face, without even trying to soften the blow! That poor girl was just in tears!

Anyway I really liked Perla (I think she is the crackbaby) - and I liked the Spanish girl mainly bc of her personality, she wasn't the best singer - and then I liked the 16 year old guy.

The Navy guy and Army Reservist/Wife were both ok - but I doubt we'll see them much further - well maybe the Navy guy will get further, but the Army wife no way.

LMAO at the juggler and then the AI BFF chick after him. Just straight up LMAO!

FINALLY - did anyone notice how Paula got more and more drunk as the episode went along? Seriously, after each person her speech was slurred even worse than the time before and she kept moving around...it was bad.

^^WOW! Those are some huge numbers!

On The View today, Rosie mentioned how Paula Abdul was really 'thirsty' last night and that be the end of the show, she had a wandering eye...haha - it was hilarious bc I was totally noticing how she kept getting more and more drunk throughout the show. That poor Paula needs some HELP!

WOW what fantastic ratings for Minneapolis auditions.

It was a long two hours but there were about four who actually seem interesting to me. There were on 17 out of them all when were chosen to go on to Hollywood. My picks:

Denise

Sarah

Matt (16 year old boy I think that's his name)

Jarrod (Reagan Idol winner I may have these two mixed up)

Simon and Randy were their usual selves, but Paula was a wreck. I didn't know if she would make it through. Something is definitely wrong with her.

This year Jewel was added to the judges so there are four instead of three. I'm thinking Jewel may be taking Paula's place when she has to drop out. Right now Jewel is the hostess of Nashville Star so she is not free for a while.

I enjoyed Denise and Sarah the most.

Well at least Paula was able to stay somewhat sober tonight - she must have saved up her boozing for the Seattle interviews she did that is all over YouTube right now...haha

Anyway - tonight was so funny...but some of the comments made my Simon and Randy were too much - telling that one guy he looked like a monkey in the jungle and then calling the tall girl a giraffe. It almost feels like watching the high school bullies gang up on the uncomfortably social freshman...and that's a little uncomfortable to watch.

Anyway a couple of them were good - that one 16 year old girl was good.

Overall though, last night was MUCH better.

WHY?? WHY??? Why do these people go to make a fool of themselves? I mean seriously, if you have not seen the show then why do you want to go on there. YOU SUCK!!! Face it and you are just setting yourself of for faiure...if the three judges are laughing at you while you sing, you should just leave and not even wait.

Those were awful....and I love when the people who suck, I mean really suck and then they say, "Oh I sing country." It won't sound any better!!

Wow were they right. Seattle was horrible.

There were a few standouts but the fact that I don't remember very many singers speaks volumes. I liked the young teenage boy yesterday with the mark or whatever on his nose. I also liked the Spanish girl and that young blond girl. On tonight's show, I loved the Jordan girl. She was really good. I always like when they start cutting people and making the group smaller because it makes it easier to talk about. There are just too many right now.

So far, it seems they are showing more of the worst then the best. Some of these people are downright creepy. As for Paula, I sometimes wonder if they tell her to act like that because so much of her reaction and beahavior comes off fake to me. Simone and Randy's comments were a bit much but people know what they are getting into. They want their TV time and they play it up. I used to feel bad for some of them but not anymore. They way they act and now so many of them don't even act like they care about the competition as much as getting on TV. They dress up, do things that makes you wonder if they are acting strangly on purpose, etc.

I just wish people would learn from seasons past and go to a professional vocal coach or singer and ask if they think they are good before auditioning. It would save them so much heartache and embarassment but, like I said, I don't think most care. They get their 15 minutes of fame and hope something comes of it. if people were smart and made sure they didn't suck before coming on, we wouldn't have what the show gives us now and people actually love this stuff.

The ratings were great. The show surely isn't losing steam that's for sure.

I actually decided to tune in last night for some of it and boy did they have some awful singers! Some of them were downright scary. It makes me wonder if a few of them were doing it on purpose just to get on TV.

Out of all of them, Jordan really stood out. She hit those high notes with no hesitation. The other guy that brought his dog, with the ripped jeans and afro, he was also good. The Indian brother/sister team was good as well, but I agreed with Simon that the brother had the better voice. His sister seemed too full of herself.

Can anyone tell me what happened with that short bug-eyed dude that Paula was calling sick? I had to leave the room for a moment but caught the tail end of the commotion.

    • I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus the being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.  
    • Great episode, better than what the spoilers said. The gambling story was tolerable but Jon Lindstrom sucks in the role. Ambyr Michelle continues to shine. The diner and country club scenes were very well executed.  The Jan and Leslie scenes were very good! My favorite is Eva, now followed by Nicole.
    • Today's show was good. The only part I didn't care for were the Derek/Ashley scenes. I think they are bland together and Derek is very bland by himself. He is the least interesting character on the show IMO. I don't think they have much chemistry together. I appreciated Jan's reaction to Leslie. I like how regular/realistic her and Mona are as characters. Jan came across as very believable of being appalled and even hurt by Leslie's treatment of them and towards Eva in the diner.  Leslie continues to try and manipulate people with IMO her fake caring routine, only to show her true colors after she's confronted/called out for her treatment of others. I continue to dislike the way she mistreats Eva. Speaking of Eva she was great again today. I love her and I like how Martin comforted her in the diner. I liked that Vernon showed concern for her as well. They (especially Martin) will come around quicker to her before others (like the Dupree women) will. I also am glad to see her and Ted continue to bond and him behaving like a father towards her/helping her. He's the only one in her life who is fully trying to stand by her. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow.
    • Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.   
    • When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?
