I just noticed that, too. Bummer is right. Seems some members there have already alerted him/her to that fact, so hopefully they’ll have the links fixed soon. 🙂 **cricetus**. And I agree, I do see the Randy resemblance. ---

I just changed the URL to [2] and [3] and got the whole thing. [second part](http://www.americanidol5.com/videos/auditions/season%20four%20-%20hollywood%20auditions%202%20(2).wmv) [third part](http://www.americanidol5.com/videos/auditions/season%20four%20-%20hollywood%20auditions%202%20(3).wmv) ---

Y’know, I thought about doing that. But then for some reason I decided against it. Thanks, **cricetus**! ---

Actually, what I tried was renaming them when I was saving them. Duh. I’ll try your links instead – thanks! ---

Okay, so I finally watched all three clips. But the third one cut off before the fates of the final three guys were announced. It was Jamie Paul K, John Z, and Kurtis P doing “Jump Shout Boogie”. So who made it, and who’s going home? P.S. Could I post to this thread _any more_? ---

Simon, in rare form, allowed all 3 of those guys to go through in spite of them not knowing 2 words to the entire song. He seemed to be impressed that they at least tried something more challenging than all the other contestants, so they’re getting one more chance. Go figure, huh? ---

Wow. I wouldn’t have ever guessed that. Lucky for them, though. And they better work hard, because I’m sure they won’t get any sympathy at all. I did think that John Z had a pretty nice voice, and I can’t wait to see him again. But my early favorites are Mario and Anwar. ---

Sorry, I can’t DL those right now else I’d look myself, but no mentions of helium-voiced rappin’ braided vowel girl? I can’t decide if that means she made it or not, I think she was interesting enough that they’da shown her getting cut. ---

That’s who I’ve been asking about. They finally showed her in the coming attractions, so I guess she made it through. ---

Thanks! I had surgery Wednesday and am blessed with parents that are kind enough to come stay with me and take care of me, but they’re not fans of American Idol. 😛 Can’t kick Mom off pogo long enough to DL anything so yay for y’all keeping me in da loop. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/american-idol-2-8/289095.md?page=3)
