I didn't even see it LisaMarie and I chose both! Well I can safely say I will be able to watch the show tonight. I didn't want to jinx anything because I've been having problems staffing two of my programs. I can safely say that one began at 7:00pm fully staffed. The other program follows it and it is the same staff. Whew!

Yeah, I'm watching the show now and I really like the rocker with the long blonde hair and wearing all black.

That first girl from Okeechobee, FL. That's so funny. I have a brother and sister in law that live there. It's small. I was thinking before she sang just because you won in Okeechobee....

Wow a lot of good auditions in Miami. I enjoyed a lot of them.

I'm looking forward to the Hollywood rounds.

The 2 girls who went in together made me smile and good voices.

Quite a few great women auditioners.

The girl who was on "American Juniors" (whatever that is) was the most annoying girl I've seen in a long time (and remember, I teach high school). I was so glad she didn't make it, because if I had to see and hear her for another minute I might have to rip out my eyelashes.

I think when Simon said "overindulged" that was an understatement.

The audition shows sound good...I may have to pop in soon to watch...LOL

Any outright Favorites yet??

Upswife when it comes to favorites I will wait until hollywood week when you get a better chance at seeing all the contestants.

Althought the guy at the end of Omaha was good. Don't remember his name.

The guy who was living in his car how wierd was that, he sang with an english accent!

I thought that was weird too....and he got a ticket to Hollywood.

Okay the fact that American Idol is on Tuesday nights and so is The Biggest Loser is killing me. I know, I know I should get TIVO or my cable system has DVR but I don't want digital cable just to get DVR. I had digital cable before and never watched them. I have expanded cable and that works for me. Here's hoping when American Idol goes down to one day a week that it will be on Wednesday nights. I can watch it tonight.

No, no, no.

You just reminded me that the Biggest Loser is on and Big Brother!! 3 shows that I never miss.

Okay why was AI and Biggest Loser on for 2 hours last night? That's okay AI is on again tonight and we get to find out who is in the Top 24. I have two faves but I don't know their names but here's hoping they make it to the top 24.

Okay I realized I have 3 faves and they are all through to the Top 24. I now need to learn their names.

There were people who made it to the top 24 that I have never seen or heard so far this season.

I really like the Australian and the 16 year old boy.

Yeah, I was surprised too to see so many new faces make the top 24. I was wondering where they've hidden these people so far. The nice thing about that is that we still have some surprises in terms of what they will sound like. Maybe there will be some really good ones. I was a little surprised that Josiah, the one who lives in his car, didn't make it. Even though he acted a bit like a spoiled child in Hollywood week, I thought they'd send him through for the drama factor of how he cries all the time. :lol: I like his voice in a weird way, but I think he would've done pretty awful with the way Idol is set up, performing with the band and doing all the cheesy songs they end up having contestants do.

I was pleased that they picked Joanna, the plus-size model, over Cardin, the very pretty girl, at the end. Cardin is so pretty I thought they'd pick her for the eye-candy factor. Joanna's beautiful too, though, and her voice is much better, so they made the right choice, I think. I like the Australian guy, but I don't know how long he'll last.
