I am going to start by saying that thank goodness this show was only an hour! It has been too long a day at the computer! I am going to launch right into the fun if it is all right with you, faithful readers.
What the heck was up with Tatiana Di Toro of San Juan? I am not sure what annoyed me more, her laugh or the hands clasped at her chest. Ryan was right, she looked like she was a pageant girl. I was hoping that her voice would be terrible, but it wasn't. She is going to be a HUGE drama queen in Hollywood, which is the only consolation for me. Gary and I are now arguing over how much air time they gave that audition, he thinks it was 3 minutes too long and wants me to poll you, my idol watching friends. Log in a post and let him know if you agree.
We then were subjected to some really odd beat boxing from Nick Reid and a pathetically boring "We built this city" by Juayu Yu.
Up next was the self proclaimed failed entrepreneur. Who admits this on national television? He sings "Stars" and it is not good. Simon tells him he hated all of it, the coat the hair color, etc. He tells Simon the hair color is his and that the carpet matches the curtains (or some horrible version of that) and this ends his idol dreams immediately.
Jesus Valenzuela brings in his little boys and sings a pretty pleasant "unchained melody" that his little boys think should earn him the gold ticket. Simon's "no" can't keep Jesus out, and our hard nose judge gets all soft on us and brings the littlest guy in for a hug.
Dalton Powell whimpers "oh baby baby" and I am not even sure what the point of airing that audition was.
James Smith provides an awkward moment when after his song Randy tells him to keep singing to Paula, she wants a baby.
Akilah Gholsten spends her pre-audition time butchering every anatomical term in the dictionary, and then blames her bad audition on not singing from both of her rectums. Everyone else is appalled, but Randy really wants an explanation. She rambles even as she walks off camera and makes up a few words for the road.
John Twiford, Allison Iraheta, and Raquel Houghton all sing snippets of their songs very well and go through to Hollywood without much air time or fanfare.
Annie Murdoch butchers "Summertime" and prompts Simon to tell her she looks drunk (and not just on a couple of bottles either).
Adam Lambert is fresh off of a year and a half in the touring cast of Wicked and nails his performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. Simon thought it was a little too theatrical, but he will do great in Hollywood. He looks impervious to pressure.
Our last singer of the night is our American story singer (we have a theme here, we close the show with the heartwarming story). Kai Kalama has had his life go on hold to care for a sick mother. He sings "Smoke gets in your eyes" and it is pretty darn good. Simon says to watch some video of him to practice confidence before Hollywood, and that he needs to work on not sounding like a "ship singer".
I am ready for the auditions to be over and to get to Hollywood, but we still have 4 or 5 cities left. Augh!
Tune in tomorrow and to my blog on Thursday (or later)....I would love to hear some early predictions!

I am in agreement with Gary... write that down!!! I thought 3 minutes was WAAAYYY to long to spend on that girl. She was not that good and that dress was terrible! Yikes. I would have liked to see a little more of those 3 that got through that we only heard like 5 seconds of!!
