I think it is — even though his baldness is self-inflicted. (On HDTV, you can clearly see the tale-tell coloring of a perfectly decent hairline.)
Not everyone. I’ll be watching from the couch and text-voting like mad. Or not, depending on who impresses me that night.
Chris is the Christian rocker guy, right? I like his voice but I wonder if he’s a little too edgy for Simon’s comfort. I think his voice is harder-edged than Bo was- closer to true metal than southern rock.
And now my co-workers are wondering why I just spewed a mouthful of water all over the place!
Anyway, thanks for the info guys. I’m a total spoiler whore.
I thought the producers pick the final 24 and it’s only after that that the unwashed masses get to vote…
Yes, I am sure the producers have a lot to do with what is shown and probably encourage her to talk about it so they can tape it but it doesn’t make it any less annoying. I do like her for now, but that is going to get old fast. It’s like the “Fantasia’s a teen mom who loves her baby!” deal from Idol 3. Enough already.
They said to the girl with laryngitis that they judged not only on that performance but their previous one. It was a bad song choice for him but you could still hear a good voice in there. I have to wonder about that cowboy in the dark clothes who sounded awful cheesy and went on anyway. I don’t remember him from the auditions and that was worse than some of those who got cut.
I don’t think he’s a old as he looks, his hair is grey but his face isn’t, although he could be a bit older than the top age limit. Simon said in an interview before the auditions aired that there could be some surprises, like older contestants. I don’t think his sound would fly in Nashville, he’s more bluesy than country.

I still think that Paula and Randy dissed the show and all the good performers that weren’t quite good enough for Hollywood but sending that guy. They deserve all the shit Simon gives them from now on for that crap and they deserve a few swift kicks as well. If the mysterious producers whispered in their ears to send the guy on then they deserve to be exfoliated with cheese graters and dipped in lemon juice. It wasn’t “good tv” it was insulting to the show and if they’re going to start disrespecting their own show in this way then why should we give a shit about it?
[/soapbox]
If that was Chris Daughtry (I think that’s his name) the guy they showed in the auditions that did his own take on “My Baby Sent Me a Letter”, then I agree. One of the best male voices.
An even more important question would be: why aren’t you using proper etiquette and placing spoilers in spoiler boxes?
Could somebody explain about the identity theft thing? Was it those self-gratifying goateed egomaniacal twins? Oh, please tell me that they not only get unceremoniously booted from the show, but they land in jail!
(Can you tell I hated those guys? Humph. Dissing Carrie Underwood, who could sing either of them under the table with one lung tied behind her back? Creeps.)
Well, that’s what I meant. Once I can vote, I will. But I didn’t even make it to Hollywood, is my point. (Of course, I’m also old as dirt compared to some of these kids, and as much as I think I’m Aretha Franklin in the shower, I’m probably more like Roseann Barr in real life.)
Who was the guy with the Jesus hair who pulled a Constantine on Paula? I thought she was gonna start humping her chair while he was singing? Did he get through?
The only names I know for sure are The Pickler and Paris. Gah! Where’s Queen Tonya with her very good notes on who is who when you need her?
He’s such a heavy dose of “Aw Shucks!” that they couldn’t pass him up. He sang better in the initial audition. Once he gets over his nerves, I think he’ll have some staying power, but there’s no way this kid is the next Idol.
I think that black chick with the long curly hair is going to go at least to the final four. In fact, she’ll probably go to the final two. She’s got the look, the stage presence, and the type of voice that sells today.
THAT’S WHAT WE SAID! I loved him.
I’d like to see a different kind of talent search. I loved those two Chicago Twins (the ones in the stupid pink pants) when they sang together. Independently, they were just OK. But a whole show of couples acts would be great. I love harmonies.
I will certainly start using them now. Sorry.
I think you mean, “They were just a’ight.” 
And, yeah, I was shouting at my screen that Simon was 100% right that I wouldn’t remember the performance in half an hour. Big blah.
His name is Ace, and he did make it through. he’s a finalist
I’m curious to find if anyone has ever compiled some statistics on how far kids with 3 “yes, absolutely, you’re going to Hollywood” votes do against those that barely squeaked by with 2 yes votes.
He’s the one they were really talking up when the season first started, wasn’t he? I was underwhelmed by his original audition, and apparently missed him last night.
My dog had to go to the bathroom.
Was he any good?
Yeah, they should at least wait to trash the show until after they are booted off. Nice how they will recommend the other twins to their producer friends; they’ve got juice but somehow still need AI??
