Apparently one of his co-workers got a memo on yellow paper and came running into a room full of people, waving the yellow paper around, screaming "I'm going to Hollywood!!!" LOL I would have probably been crying with laughter if I had been there.

And how she, Casey Carlson and Joanna Pacutti will be fighting for my love this season.
Originally Posted By utahjosh I'm excited for tonight's show. I have a ton of friends that auditioned in Salt Lake City, including 3 I know that made it to Hollywood! Sadly, I'm pretty sure none of them made it past the Hollywood weeks. It will still be fun to see if any of them made it to tonight's show, and the Hollywood week shows.

Originally Posted By mele Sorry, that sounded mean but it's a joke one of the Osmonds said at a Disneyland concert. Don't want anyone to think I'm meaner than they already do. ;-)
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I'm also getting bored with these round up shows. I should have written down some names to look for next week. I think I'm ready for some "real" drama. How far in advance is all this taped? I can't remember.

Originally Posted By mele They start the auditions in the summer. For instance, contestants had to register in Louisville on July 19/20 and audition on the 21st of last year.

Originally Posted By utahjosh <Josh, did they show the people you know tonight?> Yep. I've worked a few times with David Osmond, so it was fun to see his big portion. I think he's got a GREAT voice. My friend Anna K was seen spinning around with her golden ticket, but we didn't get to hear her sing. And I was happy to see Taylor V, the tall girl they seemed to love. She and I were in this movie together: <a href="http://www.likenthescriptures.com/content/mediacenter.php?sku=L006D1" target="_blank">http://www.likenthescriptures....u=L006D1</a> (She was an angel and I was a shepherd) Go Idol! Bring on Hollywood week!

Hmmmmm ..>> Yes, that's why I think I'm getting tired of this phase... Of course, I don't want them to stink after seeing their sad story, b/c I'd think it was just awful for the producers to do that. Josh, Taylor was one of the 3 I remembered! Yay! I only could remember her, David Osmond and the last girl, Rose. It will definitely be fun for you to watch Hollywood week, knowing some of the contestants!
Originally Posted By mele I thought the chick who sang Amy Winehouse was boring. Yeah, she sounded like Amy Winehouse but we already have an Amy Winehouse. Granted, Amy's nutty as heck and doesn't seem long for this world, but I found the contestant boring. (Although, she's much easier on the eyes than the original, too.) It will be interesting to see what she sings in the future.
Originally Posted By mele Oh, and I didn't dig Rose so much. Her vocals really weren't that great and she looked kind of unclean. I'm kind of hoping she surprises me during Hollywood week. I am also tired of the sob stories that they're showing.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I thought they over-rated the one who sang "Can't Help Loving That Man of Mine." I mean, she was okay, and certainly sunny, but I didn't think the voice was anything special, and I thought the performance was a little affected, actually.
Originally Posted By mele Agree! And they didn't tell her to tone it down but they seem to do that with other people who are less affected. But there's a rumor that the "theatrical" comment is mostly made to men and is code for "gay".
