Originally Posted By Rsey103 A flat opening to hollywood week. Nothing much of interest in the episode. Two best moments for me were when Von got yelled at by Simon (I think he called him a baby!) and the comedy guy going thru to the next round....

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I was amazed the 'Bikini Girl' got through. If you close your eyes while she's singing, you'd boot her out in a second. Same with Rose. Her story is touching and sad -- her voice just doesn't cut it. Yeah...Von. Hopefully, he'll figure out that he doesn't have to be Sam Harris on Speed to be the next American Idol. The blonde girl with the funky hair and cool tattoos -- they were bummed out with her, but kept her on hoping that she'll pull it together. Also noticed that the young gal with the funny laugh got booted out too.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I feel that last night's show was too much like a rerun of the past weeks. I would have liked to have seen some of the other contestants get more attention. Is Von the guy who was in Wicked?
Originally Posted By mele I feel like they're showing less and less singing during Hollywood week. Maybe tonight will be better. I love the blonde girl with the funky hair and tattoos! I didn't think her song was too great of a choice (even though I love No Doubt) but hopefully she'll do better tonight. Here is the first time I saw Von Smith. I felt many emotions...irritation, repulsion, disbelief. You get my drift. ;-) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRexSeidRF0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...xSeidRF0</a>
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 I clicked on your link mele, b/c I couldn't remember who Von Smith was! lol (How could I forget?) I only made it to the one min. point. I liked Danny the best from last night. (Thanks, Dar for reminding me what his name was/is.) It looks like tonight's episode should be more interesting.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss The more I think about it, the more I believe Bikini Girl will make it to the top 24.

How else can one explain how every season out of all the singers they could choose, they end up with some very questionable singing talent? Mind, you, I don't think Bikini Girl is bad or annoying, but no way is she cream-of-the-crop. On that note, I wonder how "Norman Gentle," a.k.a. Nick Mitchell will do? I have to say, his wack humor is funny to me.
