But it's only been two episodes... we've got quite a ways to go.

For me, it's rare that someone stands out so much during the auditions (at least in terms of vocal ability). Typically, it's Hollywood where people start to shine. I thought last year would be phenomenal because, to me, some of the performances in Hollywood were fantastic. There were certainly great performances in the semis and finals, but in terms of potential seen, I don't think everyone lived up to what I saw in Hollywood. With more Hollywood episodes this year, I hope more people will stand out by the time the semis roll around.

I'm pretty excited about how all this goes down. They're definitely much more toned down than last year's "MOST TALENTED CONTESTANTS EVER!" routine. It actually feels like they're all slowly building people up. and pjaded, it was the theme nights that destroyed all the potential of last year. Last year had awesome contestants who were handed horrible song choices. Last Edited By: survivorjordancontestant 01/15/09 2:08 PM. Edited 1 times.

A 2-2 "tie" requires Simon's YES to be an overall YES. If Simon says "NO" and it's a split vote, it takes 3 YES votes to go to Hollywood. Again, watch Lea Marie's audition. Simon and Paula both said "No", at which point Simon told her that her fate was in Randy and Kara's hands. It just takes 2 votes, no matter whose.

It's simple for people to memorize and practice a 30 second song or 2 for their audition. The real test is in Hollywood or on the show to see who really stands out more. Hell, I can even sound good practicing a song for months before a 30 second audition.

I agree- three of my favorite moments from last season were David Hernandez's "Love the One You're With," Danny Noriega's "When I Need You," and David Archuleta's "Heaven," all from Hollywood. Also, does anybody know where I might see various auditions from last night? Last Edited By: Wildcat612 01/15/09 4:56 PM. Edited 2 times.

The only thing I remember from hollywood week was really liking Michael Johns bohemian rhapsody. But I didn't really like him overall. Either way, I'm not too concerned either. I think i've only REALLY like one person so far. The rest have been very eh.

Serious question, since he brought up the medal: Is he "special needs"? I can't tell yet. ] OMG I too thought he might have a medal from the special olympics. But then he said it was from elementary school, I thought dude that's just sad that you're still carrying that around. This freak should have listened to his mother when she told him he couldn't sing. That's the problem with 1/4 of the people on here...their parents lied and said they have wonderful singing voices. Parents of America, stop lying to your children!!

Posts: 2103 (01/15/09 8:19 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	yeah, but we hardly ever see much from hollywood week, and almost always most of the top 24 are represented in the auditions and you can tell that they have something at least interesting if not special. We go into hollywood week with a handful of people we are interested in following on the journey, even looking forward to seeing. At least SOMEONE who has "blown it out the box" so to speak, like Melinda, Blake, Brooke, Carly, Kat, Carrie, etc... (Brittenum twins, ) At least I remembered their auditions. I was hooked and interested to see how they did. Nobody is really standing out yet, other than the sob stories. Waiting for the precocious kid they mercilessly pimp.

I don't think, though, if Simon votes second (and the first vote was no), that he'll just be like "no, goodbye" without letting the others vote (when it's not a blatantly obvious "you need to leave now" moment. I think that if someone is going to make in a 2-2 situation, they'll edit it (if it's not already done that way) to always have Simon shown voting last.

His comment that it's up to the remaining two judges would indicate he's not the tie-breaker, doesn't think he is, or was sure that Randy and Kara were not going to both vote yes so he lied about it. I guess we really need to see a 2-2 vote with Simon voting "No" to see what happens, and don't really know up until then (unless you guys have a link showing Simon's the tie-breaker this season).

Posts: 8328 (01/16/09 1:46 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I think there's an article out there (might be on here somewhere) that says Simon is the tiebreaker. I remember reading it somewhere (I know, not very helpful). Honestly, i wouldn't be surprised to see a 2-2 tie that ends in a no be shown and nothing said. In season 4 of Canadian Idol, Steffi D got a tie vote, and Ben quickly voiced over that the last judge is the one that has the call.

In season 4 of Canadian Idol, Steffi D got a tie vote, and Ben quickly voiced over that the last judge is the one that has the call. Maybe you read this article? There are a couple out there ... But before, two yeses can get someone into Hollywood-what about now that there's a possibility of a stalemate? "The biggest change is that Simon is the tiebreaker," Kara revealed. "If you agree with him, great, but if you don't, there's definitely going to be some contention there. It's kind of minute by minute now with this new tiebreaking thing, everyone on the panel could seem to be getting along, and then he says he wants to put them through or not put them through, and all hell can break loose." How would that turn out? American Idol returns to Fox on January 13 and 14 with a four-hour season premiere. Only then will we know if it'll work. http://www.buddytv.com/ar...alks-paula-abd-25398.aspx Or maybe this one? Cowell also revealed that, now there is an even number of judges, he is the deciding vote in the event of a tie. ("One [contestant] came in in a bikini. Of course she got a yes from us, the guys, and a no from the girls. Luckily, we got our way. I love [being the tiebreaker]. They hate it. There's been a few arguments along the way, particularly from the girls when they don't get their way." http://www.411mania.com/m...f-%5CAmerican-Idol%5C.htm Last Edited By: SurvivorLDog93 01/16/09 5:22 PM.

Doesn't seem like him (good ol' "If I'm being honest...."). I'm a bit surprised they're trotting out this tie-breaker thing as if it's new, when they've had 4-panel judges during auditions numerous times before.
