Staying up late just causes drama -- which is I suppose why they do it that way. It just seemed a bit ridiculous.

I am sure this separates the ones willing to work hard and the ones who think it's a free ride.

Originally Posted By mater4 >>I think they groups create the stress for themselves<< I have to agree with you. There were several groups that worked well together without the drama and did not seem as tired.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Thank you for the link gottaluv According to the sneak peek. Justin Castro's brother didn't make it. The guy from Wicked is Adam Lambert and he did make it. Just mentioning that because I remembered them from the tryouts.

Oh boy is she the new "vote for the worst" candidate or what? There seem to be so many great singers this year. They keep talking about Danny and ?? being best friends. Were they friends before the auditions? I didn't ever catch that.

Today they cut it further to the final 36. Loved the blind guy - like they said with his audition they couldn't wait to see him with a keyboard... he was great. Some suprised me - but I am thinking those will be let go today in the personal one on one things.
