    That version of "Go Down Moses" had me laughing so hard it hurt. I was worse than Paula and Randy.

    I thought overall it was a great premiere, mixing in more of the good singers with the lousy ones.

    The chick in the pink jumper was nice. A good singer, too.

    The girl from Oregon, I think her name was Christy Leigh Cook, wow. She was smoking hot, plus she had that singing thing going for her too.

    She's my first pick to make the final 24.

    Question: Have they already taped "Hollywood Week" and therefore already know who the final 24 is before any of this airs? If so, I suspect that some of these little features they do on certain people could be clues as to who made the final 24. Or is that pretty-much random?

    In years past, they've made various "welcome back" references during Hollywood week. It's several months after what we're seeing now, but I don't know if they're shown in real time like the final 24 are.

    Okay, I found the answer right here. Hollywood week was done the last week of November, so they know who the final 24 is as we speak. There are leaks all over the Web if you want to dig for them. I chose to not find out.

    The Rolling Stone article I linked above also states that the "group sing" portion of Hollywood week has been replaced with an a cappella portion. I assume that means they sing solo. I think that's a good move. The group sing thing was usually a disaster for most, and I'm not sure what it accomplished.

    I also stumbled across info that says the contestants will be allowed to play musical instruments this year. Interesting.

    The best part of Star Wars girl, besides her hotness of course, was that as she was throwing a big hissy about AI wanting "only people who looked the same" there was rolling footage of people cut into her tirade. And those people all looked very different from each other.

    The more she screamed about how they "all looked the same" the more footage rolled of different looking people.

    Top notch.

    She could actually sing a little bit. I put her as the best of the wacky "victorious" girl and the "gold suited mumbler".

    She should've gone for "Tatooine Idol"...or something.

    I liked the guy last night with the white fur hat and cape that thought Simon was some kind of god. He could actually sing, but that got lost in all the craziness.

    They seem to be sending some people to Hollywood that really shouldn't go. Like the politician kid and the farmer kid.

    These early audition shows are like the Gong Show.

    My impression overall is that there was no one who was overwhelmingly "wow!" in the first two nights, but then they usually hold those back for Hollywood week, I think.

    The good looking people who can also sing will win, at least on the female side. That's my guess, and I don't watch it. Let me know if I'm right in the end.
