Originally Posted By csgoofygirl I think Ellen is a great addition to the team. She knows how to say things in a way that is honest, but wrapped in humor.

Originally Posted By mele For the record, I still love Andrew Garcia. I like they guy with the shoulder length blonde hair, blue eyes who plays the guitar. (Although, he can keep his shirt on, afaic.) I really enjoyed the song he played last night. And he's purdy. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing this season due to some of the contestants and Ellen. And no Paula.
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I really liked that guy too Dabob2. The other ones that impressed me were the two girls at the end. I think one was a waitress and the other a Mom.
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Thanks mele. I am so bad with names. Go Andrew! That sounds so much better than that guy with glasses that sang "Straight Up".
Originally Posted By trekkeruss Ellen was great. It was hilarious when she had those contestants stepping forward and back, and a little to the left. LOL. I (again) liked Andrew Garcia, who rearranged Paula Abdul's son; Janelle Wheeler; expectant father Michael Lynche; the guy who took his shirt off, Casey James; Didi Benami who sang "Terrified;" and Crystal Bowersox.
Originally Posted By mele Yeah, those two guitar girls at the end are fantastic. Looking forward to seeing more of them. One person I already can't stand is the wannabe rocker chick. I don't like watching her sing and she just isn't original at all. We already have a Pink and she does a great job at being herself. I am just not interested in her at all. I didn't see the crying chick from Seattle (with the kid) at all last night. I can't remember her name, either. I liked her, although she seemed half way to a breakdown.

They seem to let a lot of people through who have done crappy things in the past. Makes you really wonder what was up!
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Last night was a little weird, in that they kept such a high percentage. I think they only cut 20% or so. And with each solo turn in the group sing being so short, no one got a chance to really impress. From Tuesday's show, I had said only Andrew Garcia really impressed me, but I forgot about the girl (Lilly?) who sang Lullaby of Birdland. THAT was terrific. The one who sang A Natural Woman was pretty good too.

Originally Posted By SFH Yes, Dabob2, I thought they were keeping a high percentage... at one point I wondered if they were only kicking out the people who 1. forgot the lyrics, 2. majorly botched a note, or 3. couldn't move in coordination with others. Like I said before, I like Ellen. But the "step forward" thing did get old after the first few times. Simon's leaving, and is it just me, or does he seem testy and "over it" this time around? Who knows how long Randy will stick around. Here's my suggestion for a new judge: <a href="http://pellman.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-al-yankovic-should-be-american-idol.html" target="_blank">http://pellman.blogspot.com/20...dol.html</a>
