I don't know, there are several people that I know make Top 12 that haven't been shown at all at this point.

She was a real "rhymes with witch" to have dumped her bf, because she didn't go to the Grease Academy. Obviously, trying out for the role and getting a shot was more important to her than saving her relationship. He's better of without her. from Roman in Austin, Texas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

What is annoying to me is how the say I don't see you as a Sandy and more like a Marty or Jan...but you make it to the next round. Why waste time and jsut get the Sandy's and Danny's.
I have to agree about the dressing up...it is so annoying. In real auditions you just do not do that...unless it truly is specified...i.e rocky horror wear bathing suit.

This was already discussed, but regarding...
"My sister's really mad about how they're making them dress up "in character." She says that a good director should be able to place them in the role no matter what. "
A lot of this business is fortunatley/unfortunately (depending on the situation) based on type and look. Directors, and even some audience members, have to think someone is believable in a role-- and this encompasses talent and look.

Someone posted on another board that the "dumping" didn't really happen and was just the producers idea to stick it in and that they're still together.

about the dressing up thing, you really have to do your research when you walk into an audition. i've worked with some directors who despise it when you dress up as a certain character and sing a song from the show because it throws their entire concentration off and then I've auditioned for others that love it. a young man with an appointment infront of me dressed up as an early 20th aristocrat because he knew the director loved it and i sat their thinking "crap! look at me in my dark-blue jeans!" it all depends.
i was watching the show and i just felt really disappointed in it. it's too much of a spur-of-the-moment copy of andrew lloyd webber's "how do you solve a problem like maria". ytotiw, it just seemed to drag and i agree with whomever posted before that there is really no one I'd spend 100 dollars to see, absolutely hit the nail on the head.

So where's the guy from Altar Boyz?
Whoa - that girl who didn't make the cut but her boyfriend did. One minute she's swearing that they'll support each other no matter what. The next minute, she's scowling and furious that he made it and she didn't. Not only didn't she support him, but she stormed out. It's a good thing she left - she's clearly not cut out to have a boyfriend in the business.

As I said before, only one person who was heavily showcased in the audition rounds and at Maria School was actually in the top 10 for How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria, and that's only because another girl dropped out to pursue a career in classical singing. And they actually showed people with talent in the audition episodes
Don't count on Austin being the winner just yet, unless the voting public become attached to him because of this early exposure.

Right. Often the most talented people get very close but are tossed aside in favor of the "underdog" (See Dancing With The Stars, American Idol, ect).

Oh goodness. All I really have to say about this episode now that I'm watching it is "SHUT UP JIM JACOBS!" They seriously need a John Barrowman type figure - Jim Jacobs is presumably supposed to be the ALW, but not entertaining.

On American Idol, the bad auditions are mostly "so bad they're good". These bad ones are mostly just mediocre singers, that crack once in awhile. There are very few who are downright awful.

It's so sad about the couple that broke up last night, and over what the fact the he got into Grease academy and she didn't. I do recall that both said that they would support each other, if one made it and the other didn't. I guess she changed her mind.
My favorite parts of last night was the old guy showing up to audition for The Coach and found out they were just casting Danny and Sandy. The other was the guy who had the confidence to be Zuko and was saying "I am Danny Zuko", but couldn't sing if his life depended on it. God, he was horrible singing "We Are The Champions". He even stops and says "You don't mind if I change key" and just sits there for like two minutes and then sings again.

I haven't been impressed with any of the men so far, some of the girls I could see potential in, but I was thinking that if these people could make it to a call back to a Broadway audition, anyone can. It doesn't seem like theyre trying to find great talent, just average.
Maybe it's just me.

In regards to the guy from Altar Boyz, they didn't even show his audition. You only saw him, Jason Celaya, in a lineup last week and if you blinked, you would have missed him. He and Austin will definetely make top 12.
