Over/under on number of obsessed fans that take their own life after this round of tryouts?

It'll be very interesting to see how far the blind guy goes. I liked his voice the best of those who moved on to Hollywood, but other than him no one really stood out for me.

OK the new judge.

1) she's hot
2) she looks so familiar
3) she's a bitch (that was one of my biggest fans? what does that say about me? )
4) she's so insecure she wanted to prove she could sing to a contestant (and yeah she blew bikini girl out of the water on that song. not even close)

verdict: mixed, but hot, so approved

Agree on all counts, but just like with wives, the bitchiness may get really grating after awhile. Too bad my wife isn't only on from January to May.

I also agree with all of those points. She was also on point with her criticism of most of the people such as calling out her biggest fan for singing nasally among others. I think I'm going to like her.

Well, have to tone down the ogling around the kids.

(they don't quite get why she'd want to go to the audition in a bikini - "SHE'S ALMOST NAKED!!! WHY IS SHE ALMOST NAKED???")

Yes, I'm sure my morality has everything to do with it. If you can't handle someone stating an opposing opinion perhaps a message board isn't the right place for you?

I find it funny that you two are the ones responding to my post though. I should have expected as much, but its funny either way.

Ok, so you can't handle humor directed toward you. You have nothing better to argue with than personal attacks and insults, and you blame your ignorance on other people's posts.

Gotcha. Thanks for the update but I knew all this already .

I feel bad for the crying girl who got sent to Hollywood thanks to the pity vote. Simon wasn't being nice by send her through. She can't sing and is just going to get her heartbroken in Hollywood.

by "eat yourself" do you mean you want him to eat his own flesh, or are you insinuating he has a pussy and he should perform cunnilingus on himself?

We heard so much about emphasizing more legitimate talent in these early shows, but I still see plenty of stupid to go around. Good to see some of that stupid resides in Kansas City after watching last night's show.

I haven't watched it yet, but apparently one of my employees was on Tuesday's episode. Tall, blonde dude in a black shirt and sunglasses. Apparently they didn't show his audition, but he was in a couple of group shots (he did get a close-up) and they showed him dancing or something...

Interesting format change this season. I hope it helps, but it doesn't address some of the issues with the show.

There's definitely less emphasis on the terrible, cringe-inducing singers. I think that's a plus. But I wish we saw more of the singers where there was some question as to whether they'd get that Hollywood invite.

Instead, we're seeing very few of the really good singers, and far more of the singers with compelling back-stories. These are likable people who can barely hold a tune who are taking the place of decent singers who would probably benefit far more from an invitation to California and the chance to train for a while.

Sadly, I think that means Hollywood will be less interesting this season. And an environment in Hollywood where it's less a boot camp and more an extension of the rehearsal shows. If half of the 147 invited are just there because they have a good story to tell, Hollywood isn't the test it should be. The judges have less work to do, and are far more dependent on the screeners.

I've always thought Hollywood week should be extended on the show. That's our opportunity to hear the compelling back-stories. Except these would be from singers who actually have some talent, people we could get to know.

I like the new judge, though she has used the word "chops" about 73 times in one week. I think they should have dumped Paula, though. Four is too many.

what do you all think of Jason Castro's brother making it through to Hollywood? Are we really supposed to believe he only practiced for 20 days before the audition? I'm not sure I would have passed him on to Hollywood without the Castro connection as his voice wasn't that good. Better than I espected though.
