Hollywood Week is always my favorite. I really like getting to know the actual talent for the first time. So many times people audition with songs they couldn’t get cleared to air on TV, so we don’t see them until Hollywood Week. ---

So many times people audition with songs they couldn’t get cleared to air on TV, so we don’t see them until Hollywood Week. if they get to the final 24 (?) don’t they always show their audition when they are voted out of the show? ---

That’s too bad. She was nervous as shit, but she has something. I’d much rather listen to her than that obnoxious girl milking the senile grandmother. ---

Paula Abdude was awesome. Country aeroplane girl was heartbreaking; I really liked her audition, too. ---

This Lilly girl is interesting. Needs a hair color that didn’t come out of JRPG fan-art, though. ---

There is a goat-like quality to a few of the guys I saw (which was not much), Half-Naked Cowboy was not one of them. I liked-- dare I say it?-- the retarded kids sister’s voice. Man, I’m mad I missed most of this. ---
