I think Constantine and the other rocker are the hottest guys on there. Maybe they’re going after a wider audience. Some of us get bored once the actual show begins because of the terrible music selections. Maybe the rockers will add some spice to things.

> The one who got cut last night was Jamie Paul Koehler. He auditioned in SF, sang “I Left My Heart…” on the same night as the other crooner, the strawberry blonde one in the hat. JP then went on to be in a threesome with two other guys, John and Kurtis, who mangled Barry Manilow. He then sang “That’s Life,” got cut last night, and they showed him singing. I remember all of this because I just loved him to death.

JP is a local here in NE Wyoming. When he was raising money to go to the audition, he held a fundraiser here, and he has been getting a bunch of press on the radio and in the newspaper here. I’ve met him once or twice, he seems like a nice guy, and has become something of a local hero around here. Gillette is a huge city in Wyoming, but it would be a village in most parts of the country - so his AI tenure is big stuff here.

My take on JP? Nice enough voice, but he isn’t the right voice type to be on AI. His voice would have been good for radio trends 30 years ago, but crooners just aren’t burning up the charts. Nice guy though, but he cries waaaay to much.

I like the Corn Fed Girl and the Full Metal Guy, but my heart belongs to the Music Teacher. Could he be any more perfect?

You guys stop picking on Pyle-- he gets enough of that shit at home!  
Thanks, **Shayna** , for the link. Now I know who everybody is talking about when the use real names instead of descriptive names.

Mikalah (who is called makamakaheymakanonnie at home because we are mean that way) is the used to be 16 year old? The site says she’s 17. The one that wants to get her mom breast implants? Because if it is, she certainly got a good scrubbing. Peel away all the make-up and there’s a young girl underneath.  
Little Spanish Guy (Mario Vasquez) is from the Bronx? He is now my most favorite because I’m a little Spanish girl from the Bronx. Kisses to him.  
Did Aloha Mischievious learn from last year? Never wear a flower in your hair! Especially if you can be somehow identified with Hawaii. Oh, waitaminit, you _should_ wear a flower-- Camille stayed looooooong passed her due date wearing the stupid flower last year.  
I’d never thought I’d ever say this but, both guys with dreads are hotness.

Was it Camille or was it Jasmine Trias who wore the flower every week? I was thinking it was Jasmine. They were both from Hawaii, IIRC.

Have I mentioned how terrible I am with names? It could very well have been Jasmine. All I know is that she had 3 horrible outings with that flower in her hair and she still kept coming back.

Now I know where Mikhala gets her energy. She has sucked the lifeforce from her mom, and possibly other family members. Instead of getting mom implants, she needs to spend a few weeks at a spa, and maybe eat a few meals. Seriously, can you imagine how exhausting it would be to live with that Tasmanian She-Devil for 16 years?

I’m pretty sure Flower-Ear Girl was Jasmine Trias, who I’m told is doing almost as well financially as Clay Aiken, thanks to a series of pop hits in her parents’ native Philippines. Camille is the one who shouldn’t have made it past the first audition, and everyone but the judges knew it.

She also performed with Don Ho at halftime at this year’s Pro Bowl, leading to this delightful headline:

Yay for the link to actual names and faces, I had more names juxtaposed in my head than **Biggirl**!

Anwar’s throat looks funny is his picture, I noticed some weirdness during one moment where he was holding a note and had his head sorta tilted up, wonder what that’s about.

I know I’ve missed some, but did we know Scott Savol had a son? Will he milk it like Fantasia or will his parental status be background like Josh’s was, hmm?

I think Sarah Mather is gorgeous, but don’t recall a single song she’s done, maybe she was one of the lesser pimped.

They need better questions in the interview section.

If you win, who will you thank first? “God” “God” “Jesus” “God and my mom”  
Hey, wow, they’ve all watched awards shows, whippee!

Do you think the audition process was fair? “yes” “of course” “totally fair” “as much as possible” “very fair”

Well, yeah, how ya gonna say “No, it was unfair, I really don’t deserve to be here but that other person did.”
