Originally Posted By onlyme No, you didn't spoil anything. I totally agree, Casey was the best. And, I'm a guy, so it's all about the voice...unlike some people.

Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, I liked Lee DeWyze since I think that boy is H O T, and I *really* liked Casey James. I also like the little boy who went before Casey - the one with the mullet. I could tell he was nervous or uncomfortable or something, but the two or three phrases where he just let loose and sang were really good.
Originally Posted By csgoofygirl I'm really sick of Kara already. Like the rest of you, I wasn't really wowed by anyone either night. Kasey is good. I really wanted to like Big Mike, but he really seems kind of like a jerk. Will be interesting to see what happens tonight. I can't believe that I will have wasted 5 hours of my life on this show this week, I am a loser, evidently.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I liked Tim Urban's voice a lot, but he's just a very unseasoned performer at this point. Casey was the best last night - largely because he was one of the few who picked a good song for himself. He's the opposite of Tim as a performer - very self-assured. Nobody blew me away though.

Originally Posted By DAR I barely watched any of the audition rounds. I didn't watch any of Hollywood week.

I think this may be the end for Simon but it's already the end for me. I'm on a horse.

He replaced Golightly (light-colored 'fro) at the last minute, because a former manager of Golightly's called Idol and said, "He's still under contract to me." However, he wasn't. He was released from his contract the month before he auditioned for American Idol. Idol producers gave Golightly a certain number of hours to prove he was released. (Can you imagine?... this guy had moved, gotten out of a lease, sold everything because he was told he was in the Top 24... now he has to find some piece of paper?) Golightly couldn't find the proof until about an hour after the deadline, so by the time he produce proof, Urban had already replaced him. I think Golightly could have a successful lawsuit against that former manager for interference.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I have to say that the "girls night" was easier to watch than the "boys night." Casey is the only shoo in to me for the top 10 (AI marketing.) He handled himself really well with what Kara and Randy threw at him just before he started. Something like that could have really thrown him off which would have been so unfair. I'm going to start counting the times Ellen says "I like you" or maybe I should count the times she doesn't say it. If I didn't get headaches so easily I'd make it a drinking game.
