Shake, do you know W.T. Thompson? He's from your town.Is anyone else watching?I really like the brother and sister who got to hollywood. I especially liked the sister.Obviously, Philip Philips Jr. is the guy to beat right now.

I've watched every single season of American Idol, but I'm really hesitant to watch this season. Last year, I thought the judges started off okay, but just got to be really horrible. Not sure I can deal with Lopez or Tyler or anymore.

I'm not sure what you saw on youtube, but he was really amazing. After his audition when he got on his guitar and played Thriller, I can see some people not liking that.

My comment was actually more directed toward the idea of him being a favorite, not that I thought he was that bad. I actually liked his Thriller rendition more than Superstition. The first song reminded me too much of Casey Abrams. I liked Casey, but his style got old real quick. I predict the same to happen to this guy.

I'm horrible with names but that guy who played Thriller on his guitar was awesome. He's obviously influenced by Dave Matthews.

Ok, then you and I just have different tastes, because I loved every single thing Casey Abrams did more than almost anything from any other AI contestant ever. Although some of his "bad" songs, like Nirvana, were surpassed by the Fuel song that Daughtry did in Hollywood week, and easily surpassed by David Cook singing that Chris Cornell version of Billie Jean.

Correct. That's who I was talking about. Currently he's my "guy to beat". Although there has only been two shows.

I'll probably start watching once they get past the audition episodes.

That's probably for the best. They really aren't very great. It's annoying how every time they interview someone at home or work you know that they will be awesome. How do they find these people prior to audition day? It feels like a setup.

Who says they do? I always assumed they taped the little personal segments AFTER they had a successful audition.

I expected more backlash from Steven Tyler's comment about the former baseball player's daughter.

[brvheart]

Jim Carrey's daughter was very sweet, but she wasn't a great singer. I'm a little surprised they let her through.

Can you blame him? She was hot!

I've liked a lot of the contestants so far. I think it will be a good season like the last.

Just saw this episode. I have to agree. The kid has skillz.

This is the 11th Season of Idol.Odds of having a contestant this season whose mom or dad was on the show in one of the earlier seasons?

Was he in the Hollywood shows? I don't know who this is. That cop was annoying. Why does she love Joy to the World so much? It's definitely just an act, but I love the Asian guy. Thought he was genuinely funny.I probably won't remember any names until they cut it down to 24 or 12 or whatever they're doing this year. What are they doing this year?
