Sure does look like the same girl.  :yess:

Tonight we have "The Road to Hollywood and perhaps we'll get to see some of the finalists and their auditions.

Tonight's show they said 182 made it to Hollywood.  I don't remember it ever being that high.   :duno:

 :duno: I'm not sure if they thought they had all that "worthy talent" maybe it's because they no longer have Paula and feel the need to put through all these extra people just to get the viewers. They do have all that extra loot they are saving  since Paula is not there. I know there is no way they are paying Ellen anywhere nears the amount of $$ Paula got. So in turn more Hollywood trips.  :umn:

Paula did have a HUGE pull to alot of viewers. :'(

now it's Hollywood and we get to see just how much Ellen can contribute to the singers, or at least to the viewers! :lol3:

I'm with you Bee, I never remember that many going to Hollywood before, Ugot might be right, they have extra money because of Paula being gone.

I really miss Paula but several of the guest judges have been really good. I'm waiting to see how Ellen does. She'll be starting next week. Hollywood week.

Road to Hollywood
February 3,2010

One last audition to cover before we start to see the Hollywood eliminations. (And none too soon!) Only a few standouts shown, mostly we saw the rejects and the fake rejects.

Jessica Furney, 20, sang "Footprints in the Sand" co-written by Simon Cowell. (She tried out last year as well.)





Didi Benami, 22, got the backstory treatment. She's trying out in memory of her friend Rebecka. She sang “Hey Jude”. She couldn't keep it together after singing but in a good way.  but I liked her and so did the judges.





Aaron Kelly, 16. Backstory, his family was unable to take care of the Aaron and his brother and to keep the boys together they were adopted by his aunt and uncle. He's very young but has a good voice. We'll see how he does in Hollywood.





Last but not least, Hope Johnson, 19 years old. She got the backstory treatement and it was inspiring. She told how she brought food home from her school lunch for her brother because he would cry. She has a beautiful smile, good voice. I hope she makes it through to participate in the show.

Mary Powers is the rocker mom. I like her a lot, like her look and her voice. I forget which one is the waitress, Lilly Scott? I loved LOVED LOVED her voice.

Casey James surprised me, he's much better with his guitar than he was in his first audition. I'm glad the girls fought for him to come to Hollywood.

The other audition that really stood out form, Crystal Bowersox. She's got a WOW factor. Simon (think it was Simon) said she was infectious and she was, the kids in the audience joined in, they loved her!

Hiya TL!! :hugs:

I'm thinking the girls are hitting their marks as of last nights auditions or should i say"editing". I'm scared to watch them fall apart in "group songs" tonight! :groan:

 like tory said the danny goke sound alike was good, there was one who sounded like kris allen i like him and i'm with ya both-Casey James rocked it! :tup:

Yes Crystal Bowersox was really good singing Carole King but definitely needs her teeth whitened.  Loved Casey James.  It was fun looking over spoiler list while the show was on and making notes next to their names.  Hope we get to know some of the others that made the top 24.

Is this not the weirdest season of AI? Wednesday night there were groups that were shown with no names, no singing, no critique. Nothing. With the constraints of only an hour maybe this is the only way to do it but it seems that we won't have a favorite to root for either. If I'd never seen AI before I'd watch a few minutes and pass on to some other show.  :umn:
