I kinda liked Biker Nurse, but I didn’t dig the fakey British accent guy.
I know the show got criticized last year for not telling every person’s back story, but this year is ridiculous.
Sure, the story of the girl’s father who died in a car crash was sad…but do we have to hear every sob story before people sing?
Keep it up and it is only a matter of time until someone is voted the winner because their parents were eaten by wolves while they were a baby, they were adopted by crack addicts and recently found out they have a brain tumor and six weeks to live after the show is over.
Almost everybody has had some tragedy in life, but few people with any class flaunt it to get ahead.
I’m just cynical enough to wonder if they checked out her story; are we going read headlines in a few weeks about another lame hoax?
I liked him and thought he was kinda cute. Plus, I heartily approve of singers who give their audience the Crazy Eyes. 
Liked rocker girl, but they should have made her sing “Crazy”. Liked living in car guy a little bit. Other than that, Atlanta sucked.
Rocker nurse was definitely my favorite of the night.
The pageant queen, like, totally reminded me of Elle Woods. All she needed was a dog in a handbag. I definitely wasn’t expecting her to be able to sing. I hope she turns into a total bitch during Hollywood week.
I didn’t like Josiah’s voice at all. He sang on-key, sure, but I didn’t think there was anything special about his tone and the vibrato was terrible. Sweet kid, though.
When are people going to learn that you will never, ever, ever get put through to Hollywood off of singing a Joplin song? It doesn’t matter how well you sing it, you’re still singing one of the least ear-pleasing songs out there.
And while riding without a helmet is moronic, someone in the medical profession riding without a helmet goes into a very special subset of uber-moronic.
Other that that I liked her, though.
That made me laugh out loud! I actually might have liked her had she pranced into the room and put her Chihuahua down on the judges’ table with a pink bowl of water. (Incidentally, Reese Witherspoon has a fantastic singing voice.)
“Leather”? Did you turn into Chris Berman on us Dio?
Are we totally sure on the lesbian thing, because I’m thinking she’s pretty hot.
I liked Biker Nurse, but if I never see that thing “rockers” do again, it’ll be too soon – sticking out the tongue and making the sign of the horns, or whatever it is. Just stop it!
Some of us do that legitimately. I even do it unconciously. Rock on!
Now that’s a song I’d like to hear!!
Not sure, just an impression. Something about the way she talks and stands reminds me of other gay women I’ve seen before. I might be wrong.
Still since when does a girl liking girls detract from hotness?
Yep, she did a pretty kick-ass job in “Walk the Line.”
I don’t know what it was, but something about Miss South Florida Fair’s tone and perkiness had me thinking, “My name is Elle Woods and this is Bruiser Woods.”
Asian girl: Gramarous. Frossy Frossy.
When Paula started crying, and Simon was trying to comfort her, I got the impression that she distinctly did NOT want him touching her.
It was clear to ME that the girl who slipped didn’t do it on purpose. She stepped on her piece of paper. I thought she was sincere.
I didn’t like homeless or glass-cutter.
I wish we’d seen spinner-necklace audition. I always wonder how many auditions are just regular, not great, not bad. . .they just don’t feel like sending them through.
That piece of paper was a good six feet behind her and somehow she managed to step on it?
And why did she splay her legs straight up and wide open in one of the classic slapstick comedy moves?
I can see why Simon thought it was an act.
Oh yeah…what the hell was that, anyway? (Besides a reminder to me that I really don’t like current pop music).
I assume they tell all the contestants that they’ll have to perform a certain song, but that was a lousy one for judging someone’s vocal talent. Is it just so they can do a montage of the people who fucked it up?
That’s *exactly *what both my husband and I said, at the very same time, last night.
The producers probably told her to do it so the camera could see who she was. The whole ride was probably staged in a parking lot somewhere. She probably didn’t even know the dudes she was riding with. Hell, they were probably CGI.
I’m trying to be cynical enough to stay ahead of the curve.
Liked Biker Chick and Non-Brit. Neither will win, though, which is probably the best thing for their careers. Hope they both continue writing their own music and find great bands to front (the boy might make some nice anti-folk. Or folk.).
