Well, Paula looked half drunk mostly because she probably was.
But I totally disagree about the auditions. These people have built themselves up soooo much in life, that they don't have touch with Reality anymore. It is so much fun to hear these people sing awful, and I do think that SOME of them think they can REALLY sing. Especially that first girl who broke down. You cannot tell me that wasn't funny? LOL Maybe I am just an ass, and enjoy that stuff, but I still think the auditions are the best.
They are not designed to show the best, that is what Hollywood is for, it is designed to show us th worst. The great thing about AI is that it is basically 3 shows, Auditions, Hollywood, The Finals. Very good show!!
