My wife recognized him right off. ---

Does Hulu or Fox put the full episode online? I missed it but I saw clips of Katy Perry responding to Kara and I now must join the Katy Perry Love Train and see more. ---

Okay, when they had the crying montage, the following sequence happened: - Clip of a rude-as-hell black teen who yanked away from her mother on the street; - Cut to a crying white girl with a voice in the background saying ‘There’s always next year, you’re only 16…’; - Ryan’s VO ‘where’s Sanjaya when you need him’; - Cut to the clip of crying-audience-girl from Sanjaya’s performance a couple years ago; - Cut back to crying white girl, now walking and crying. Was that really the same girl??? If so, why the hell didn’t we see THAT audition?? ---

If that wasn’t her, she sure as hell looked exactly like her. Before they even showed the audience clip, I thought “Augh! It’s horrific Sanjaya-fangirl!”. ---

Yes, that was the same girl. I’m surprised they didn’t make more of it. ---

> [@cricetus](#): > > The first guy was a real piece of work. I swear that’s the same guy who was on So You Think You Can Dance a couple of years ago. He came out in drag and was terrible. Simon Lythgoe asked his name, and he said, “My name’s Betty.” ---

Simon’s becoming more and more of an asshole lately. There was nothing wrong with that last girl, except that she was chubby, and (I suspect) that she did an original, which Simon hates, because he hates it if a contestant has any creative independence at all. He also hates it when they can play instruments. ---

This Barney girl seems to think we all remember her from that or something. ---

Heh. Barney Girl: Barney kids grow up NPH: Into diiiiirrrrty little girls. Doogie is awesome. Get rid of Randy and Kara and replace them with Katy Perry and NPH. Now we’ve got some fucking Jonas brother coming in to buzzkill everything. ---

Barney girl was flat out awful! I can’t believe they let her through. The big black dude with the short tie was also not as good as they made him out to be, but his personality was awesome. Tourette’s guy is kinda hawt. ---

A Tourette’s guy could make for some outstanding TV. “When the night has come, and the land is dark…SHITCOCKBALLS!!!” ---

The swearing thing isn’t really that common to tourettes – just what people obsess on. ---

So Meagan’s “story” is that her parents are divorced? Did they really have to play the somber music for that? Joe has been a non presence so far. He just agrees with the other judges. He’s obviously too worried about losing a single fan by being the least bit threatening to have an opinion. ---
