How 'bout That Southern Hospitality!

Birmingham had a lot of talent and the judges seemed to be in a good mood. We didn't get a chance to see a lot of them sing, but plenty of the contestants moved on to the next round. As always, there were the few that stood out, but not because they could sing! Next stop - Los Angeles...

The talent seems to be getting better - and worse!

New York was definitely interesting. As usual, only a select few of the thousands to audition moved on to the next round. Last night was interesting to say the least. I think the not-so talented stood out a lot more then the talented. What did you think?

Moving On To N.Y.C.

It looks like it is getting harder and harder to impress the judges this year. Hopefully N.Y.C. will impress the judges. What do you think about the judges decisions so far?

The Good, The Bad and The...

It was another interesting night. Only a select few made it through to Hollywood. The judges certainly had their hands full this round. What did you think?

Is something wrong with Simon?

Well the first half of the premiere is over, but there is still another 2 hours left to go! Did anyone else feel like Simon was a bit reserved last night? Maybe he is just warming up for the rest of the season. Tune in tonight to find out!
