I met a bunch of them over the weekend. Blake and AJ were nice. Alaina is very pretty in person (moreso than how she looks on tv) and was cool also.

Chris Sligh gets a PERMANENT "cool" card, simply because of his first audition.

When asked why he wanted to be the next American Idol, he replied "because I wanna make David Hasslehoff cry."

Yep, that was great! ROFL

I haven't been able to watch as much this year, but I did watch quite a bit last night. That Blake Lewis guy looks like a natural on the stage and is pretty unique with all of that extra stuff he does. I can see him going far...

Jeez, that whole site is one Nick "The Erroneous One" Athan prediction after another. Over half the guys could be as high as 2 or as low as 10. Thanks for the amazing scoop, fellas.

Eh, they've raised their margins of error by quite a bit this year, resulting in the whole 2-10 range. It's stupid, but I guess they're trying to be "right" more of the time.

If you look back at last year, it's reasonably accurate, especially as the numbers of finalists gets smaller.

Same here as far as the male contestants. The girls are a lot better though. I want to hear La...uh...LaQuisha (?) belt out some more stuff.
