well i just listened to tori kelly's audition and she sucks.

The only one who didn't make it that really surprised me was Angela Martin...I thought she was a lock.

I like:

Dede
Casey
Crystal
Todrick

There's a few of them that I have no memory of out of the final 24 but overall I think we got a good look at the finalists. Nobody has been super pimped by the editing. Only like 5 of them got totally hosed. Most of the 24 got plenty of face time.

Just read online that Chris Golightly originally made the top 24 and was later disqualified and they replaced him with Tim Urban and edited the show to look like it never happened.

Makes me feel even worse for Thadduis

I also think that Siobhan has got a great voice....

Who is Sibohan?

edit: Oh the chick with the fashion trainwreck

yeah she didnt get much air time....

she's the one that ellen called old; then she came on stage and tore sht up.

u can prob youtube her hollywood performance

she's the 2nd one to go... after sellers

reading up on the Chris Golightly thing. I read that he tweeted he made the top 24 on January 16th. Probably not smart. I think what got him disqualified though was a previous contract.

Apparently he didn't find out he was cut until last night.

tori kelly's hotness will be missed. i think i decided i find 7/12 finalists legit hot and 2 kinda hot but i think at 26 im too old to actually think girls that much younger than me are hot or even cute.

ellen has such voice tells. as does kara. it was quite clear when they were advancing somebody. editing helps too obv but it's just funny.

overall i think im excited about the talent despite being hesitant even as late as last week. these past two eps let some personality/talent shine thru. there are still a few dudes that i literally never noticed if we were even exposed to them and expect very short runs (joe munoz, tim urban-i now understand why, and lee dewyze)

oh and wow to tebow's girls legs. hawt!

and, epperly's fashion makes her way hotter than she is. that being said, i like her sense of style so she might be my #1

Janell Wheeler has tebow on her side, don't know how she loses.... still my pick is black girl hayley to win!!

Also has anyone noticed the commercial breaks are longer for this show then other shows????

I'm curious to see what happens with her, her teeth are just ****ing horrible though lol. I really think she has 0 chance to win because of it.

That's why i try to avoid it live. Wait like 20 mins and start it up.

what commercials?

Todrick goin deep

Can't believe Thaddeus was cut. His version of Man in the Mirror was awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZtM6Lb46F0 - go to 1:25

lol i obv DVR the show but it just seems like the commercial breaks are way longer then everything else I watch with DVR. Dont think I could actually watch the show live

fyp

My dark horse is Lacey....great voice, very pretty and seems grounded and experienced enough not to mess things up...I predict she will go very far...top 6, at least.

He tried to start up a traveling musical type show show which went bottom up before it got off the ground. He charged kids that wanted to perform in it from dance studios and whatnot $50 bucks a pop and was using that money to try to secure venues and get the tour started.

It didn't work out and apparently a lot of the parents feel that Todrick scammed them out of money. So there will be some backlash from them although I'm unsure of the numbers we are talking about here.

I think last night was the worst for this so far. Watching it DVR'd, I really think there were multiple 6-7 minute commercial breaks.

I haven't seen a commercial in five years. It's the only way to watch tv.

You guys realize they do ridic makeovers on these ppl, right?

Anyone else shocked that really young looking kid made it? Also,

Yeah at this point in the show is where they get a fashion budget and stylists to work with them. Everyone is going to start looking better, which is especially good for the 3-4 hottish girls they have

imho

My picks:

GUYS

The Man to Beat = Todrick Hall
My favorite = Jermaine Sellers
Darkhorse = Aaron Kelly
Garbage = Alex Lambert

GIRLS

The Woman to Beat = Ashley Rodriguez
My favorite = Lacey Brown
Darkhorse = Siobhan Magnus
