A truly bad karaoke performance of "Superstar." If Karen Carpenter's original with that stupendous voice was 100, Sharon Wilbur's version was a 1. The Stooges should have thrown Naomi Sykes and her Larry Lovin' friend out of the room. They clearly were there to get camera time for a fantasized acting career. That girl from Mississippi State University named Jasmine was pretty darned good, although when I think of "Big Girls Don't Cry", I think of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. In fact, I think she sang it better than the overrated Stacy Ferguson. My wife thought George Ramirez was autistic. I thought he did this as a goof to tell his beer-swilling friends at FSU. Every auditioner I've seen with that large a beard, who looks like a Smith Brother always is bad. I give that guy with the doo-rag credit for singing "Jumper." He may have had some problems with his breathing technique, but he wasn't that bad. I'm guessing the producers don't want so many "rockers" this season, with Chris Daughtry and David Cook already in the fold. Ann Marie Boskovich is very pretty and has a sweet voice. I think taking her was a make-up call for "Idol" turning down Colbie Caillat about five years ago when she sang "Bubbly" for the Three Stooges. The problem with Ann Marie is that her pop/country voice is predictable, generic, and a dime a dozen. Like Joanna, she needs to sing a more challenging song. Finally, my problem with T.K. Hash, other than singing "Imagine," is that even though he has a good voice, he sounds like thousands of other R&B wannabes who sound like Brian McKnight. Can he sing something more challenging? I'd force him to sing "What Does It Take" by Junior Walker and the All Stars to see if he's really got the goods. Did Colbie try out for Idol and get cut?

Sooo....I know everyone is all giddy about seeing the sneak peek of Kelly's new video on the show, but does anyone have any favorites from tonight's auditions? There were definitely some decent and interesting people, but nobody really hit it out of the park, at least for me. The hippy chick was kinda cool though. Is tomorrow's episode just one hour? Because they're doing two cities and if it's just one hour, I don't think they could justifiably cover both in that amount of time. Hollywood week should be interesting!!
