Thats great!

That's amazing about Shannon! Love that she's a volleyball player, comes from an athletic family, showed no nerves, & the screeching after Stephen's comment was hilarious! Oh, and I love that she sang Etta...RIP. :(

OMG! Did anyone see tonight's episode? The last contestant, when asked a question by the judges, suddenly looked dazed, took a few steps forward and fell off the stage!

I'm watching it right now and can't believe they cut that kid who is homeless and was cut last year in the hollywood round. The one with a twin brother whose mom walked out on them. I loved him and thought he did great and then they cut him

Well, no one actually stood out above the crowd for me. I was listening in the den without looking at the tv and they all sounded the same, so it didn't matter to me who got to stay and who was booted off. The personal stories behind some of these contestants are truly heartbreaking, but it is, after all, a talent show, and life is life.

Dayum everyone is dropping like flies

Yes! What happened with that? What about the others that fell out too? Did they say what happened or did I check out and miss it?

My fav audtion so far is Joshua Ledet - Jar of Hearts. Just loved it. I think there is some real quality this year, it is going to be tough to get it down to 24!!!!

I think there are some quality singers this year, too. I didn't think much until their solos last week and several hit it out of the park. I wasn't too impressed with the group numbers with songs from the 50s and 60s, though. I wish that cowboy kid would go home...he's really annoying.

That cowboy kid is really annoying esp when he said he came to make music not recycle music! What a cheek!! Heehan (sp) is so funny!

That Philip Philips guy is just a little sexy when he sings.

I had to post this little clip of him singing "Nice and Slow"

Another one of my early favorites:

Joshua Ledet

I'm actually not super super impressed with the talent this year, but it is still early. A lot of them don't come into their own until they get down to the top 12. To be honest, I feel like the show is kind of stale now... I only watch to see J Lo's hair, makeup, and clothes!
