does anyone know who sings the "hollywood is not america" song? i guess it's this year's "home/bad day..."


also i just thought of something. when they are in that room together waiting to go up the elevator, are they all just sitting there for hours and hours waiting their turn? no magazines or anything? sheesh what a long day.

Yes, it's by a guy named Ferras. http://www.americanidol.com/spotlight/

Thanks Robin!


Oh man watching Josiah go is painful. Looking at his myspace page though, seems like he is doing great now.

And WOW - I'm really impressed with how much Simon likes Kyle. And I think he's right, I found Kyle to be one of the most likeable people on the show.

Oh man, I wanted Josiah to make it. I liked him better than the last guy that made it.

 

[Robinrs]

Some of these people are forgettable, it looks like they're doing it on purpose again.

I liked pretty much everyone except Brooke White but I agree with Robinrs. It looks pretty easy to eliminate a few right off the top.

Why does it have to be 12 girls and 12 guys....why not the 24 best....if its 20 girls and 4 boys so be it....never understood that

I'd probably take 22 guys and 2 girls!

ITA. I was just thinking the same thing.

LOL....I was just saying I would too if it was the 24 best...JMHO....Is there a reason they do 12 and 12??

Maybe it is just too difficult otherwise?

I love it Dan.... I agree with the top 24 why does it need to boys vs. girls but you need your eye candy and so far this year the men seem to sing better IMHO. If they did it 2 years ago you would have missed all those weeks with the Pickler

 

[r3ngels]

What does everyone think of the top 24? Some of them I don't think I have even heard sing yet... they didn't even look familiar.

I totally agree! I only like a couple of the girls. Hopefully more will grow on me. Really the only ones I outright dislike are Kristy & Carly, and I think that's just because I feel like AI is pushing them so hard.

OK, the guy from Miami is both a creepy perv and a bad singer.

He creeped me out. I only saw him in the Hollywood week ep.

I'm going to miss tomorrow night's show.

Missed half of last night's while dealing with a fuse problem..... grr

Hey Pooh...

Yeah my dad was killed in a car wreck....so its been hard. He was actually my biological granddad but he adopted me when I was about 3 after my biological parents passed away...My mom is having a hard time coping but all is well...time heals all I guess....

Wow all the shows on TV now....Survivor, Lost, AI, Big Brother, Biggest Loser, and of course basketball

Sorry to hear that and hope you're holding on fine.

Those on AT&T mobile, you can get Brothers Forever as a ringtone!

Wonder how many people you'll hear at the mall with that tone......

LOL....I was just saying I would too if it was the 24 best...JMHO....Is there a reason they do 12 and 12??

To keep someone from crying "sexism" if they don't?

Probably keep it even just like they do in the finals.... or at least the past couple years.... Or else Chris Daughtry woulda been one of the top 2.....

 

[txSleepingBeauty]

aaack my tivo cut out. who made it out of the last two girls??

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I also agree with Dan about the top 24 being just that, the "top 24", regardless of sex.

I was really sorry to see Kyle go. I think he would have gone far. Simon seemed really upset that he wasn't put through.

I was shocked that they didn't put Josiah through. I really thought they would.

 

[Jennasis]

YAY! Everybody I wanted to get through, made it...except for Josiah. And I am happy that Kyle didn't (I'm sure he'll be a great governor of Oklahoma though).

Don't know her name but the heavyset black model.
