I thought the beauty pagent girl was pretty good. I like longer hair on a woman better than short(unless she can pull it off), just passed the shoulders, but that was waay to long. The family did seem nice and I'm guessing the father was a minister. But they were right about her audition.

I could easily see her doing one of those Celtic arts things, singing in that pure, clear voice with all that hair... Chicken lady was also sweet in a much scarier way. But what's up with the producers passing through contestants who are clearly past the age limit? I saw in the promo that a man in his 60s will make Paula cry in the next episode. (Of course, making Paula emotional isn't all that hard, now is it?) And I am glad that the "Jack Osborne/Jack Black" guy had a good voice. He's funny and original. His deadpan delivery of, "I want to make David Hasselhoff cry" was followed up perfectly. He looks like one to watch!

My theory is that he's singing for his granddaughter who couldn't make it because she tragically passed away before she could fulfill her dream.

Nobody really blew me away last night, but the Osbourne lookalike with the dry sense of humor, and the young woman who sang the Aretha song that Randy called a "natural," and who also seemed very nicely unaffected, have potential.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I finally watched the Memphis show on tape, and the closest to a wow I've seen was the professional back-up singer from that episode.

Originally Posted By beamerdog Can someone let me know what the gesture meant that the blonde girl gave to the judges? You know, the flick on the shoulder thing. Paula's mouth was "blued" out when she told Randy what it meant. And they both lost it. I've asked my 30-something pals here at work, but no one knows. If it's not LaughingPlace appropriate, you're welcome to email me (addy in my profile). Thanks! <<<feelin' old and out of it :-(

I was expecting the girl who's Mom was a "golddigger" to be good and she was awful. You never know what to expect the way they set things up, last night I thought the Jack Osbourne/Jack Black guy would be really bad and he was really good.
