No I don't either. I was just being snarky because Joe made the cute comment.

Ladies we agree: Cut the sob stories and replace them with a swimsuit competition.
I'm all about Josh Blaylock. He is adorable and is kind of like a quieter version of Kris Allen.

I was watching AI with my ten year old and even HE said "I'm sick of all the sob stories!" That kinda cracked me up.
Cancer guy was pretty cute though.
He sang that song that Adam sang last year.....someone? What was it? He was a voice coach from Salt Lake City?
The mormon guy that had cancer?
EDIT:
I mean the mormon guy who survived cancer.

StockardFan it was "Feeling Good" right?
The person I disliked least was the weirdo tree climbing drummer with the broken hands.
I hope he doesn't become annoying like Jokey.
Yes, Evie that was the song.
I didn't mind the broken wrist guy either. Looks wise, the one that seemed most my type was Luke (the blonde guy in the beanie cap)
The cancer survivor's name is Justin Williams not Josh Blaylock.
Josh Blaylock was the cutie at the end that they were challenging him to try and be more aggressive. "Shut-up, Simon!"
According to Michael Slezak's Idolatry blog this week, this is not Justin's first time on Idol. They left out the fact that he went to Hollywood last year. During the group singing competition he sang alongside Kris Allen as a member of White Chocolate.
"Justin also got the 'sympathy edit' from producers, who focused on his successful fight against cancer from seven years ago rather than on his participation in season 8 Hollywood Week alongside fellow 'White Chocolate' members Kris Allen, Matt Giraud, and Asia Morrison. Did Randy, Kara, and Simon really not recognize him (unlikely!) or did some crafty Fremantle/Fox gnome manage to leave any mention of his prior Idol acts on the editing-room floor?"

I knew his name was Justin Williams.......I don't know who Josh Blaylock is?
danmag, I agree with your son..
I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE the sob stories.
Justin was cute, but he was trying way too hard with the sexyface and it bugged me.
Honestly, I didn't really warm up to or like anyone in particular. Tonight better make up for it.
I never thought Paula's absence would leave such a gaping hole in the proceedings... but it definitely has. The heart of the show is gone. Simon's snark is still fun but no amount of Kara overreacting or guest judge nonsense is going to cover it up for long. Sad.
And after 9 years I would have hoped Randy could come up with something better than made-up numbers to express his enthusiasm ("A Hundred Bajillion Trillion Cadillion percect yes!"). Alas, he hasn't.
Hey, at least it's not as bad as DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Yet.
P
Yeah, I miss Paula too. And with this being Simon's last season, I have a feeling that this will probably be American Idol's last season. But who knows.
From last night, my favorite audition so far is the guy with the broken wrists guy.
And seeing Ryan Seacrest trying to escape the man stampede in slow motion had to be one of the best and funniest things I've seen in a while on Idol.
Our very first sob story!
These always make me resent the contestants, even if it's not really their fault it's played up.
The trailer park bridge jumper.....WTF?????
Oh my gosh, those cheap dramatizations cracked me up!
And I love HD, don't get me wrong, but I don't need to see this guy's teeth in HD! NASTY!!!
Even though we only heard the end note, the guy that sang "Run, Freedom Run" sang it really well.
The trailer park guy has a form of Autism...that's why he has no idea socially how he is coming across.
If you remember Mary Roach...she has a form too and that's why she thought she was great too.
Those people believe all the good comments their family and friends tell them and because of their Autism they can not "read between the lines".
