Even though Idol was cut short tonight, we got our fill of Memphis. It started out with the mumblers. What’s wrong people? I’m pretty sure you need to be understandable to be the next American Idol. Thank God for bright spots like Jason ‘Sundance’ Head for brining a little talent to Memphis. The big guy can sing and we’ll be seeing a lot of him I have a feeling. And poor Hitchye (sp). It’s hard to hear you’re good, just not special.

Then there was Travis Mckinney. Umm, you forgot your love song at home dude. What the hell? However, the big surprise was Mr, umm… Castro making it though. WOW. It’s nice it’s not all about looks. There was also Melinda who showed us that talent is in the background and I’m glad she’s taking the next step to the foreground. The good news is we didn’t see to many Elvis impersonators. Thank goodness. Robert was more than enough.

Overall, these auditions are starting to wear thin. Sure each town has a few bright spots, and hundreds of not-so-bright spots, but overall, each city is the same. I actually like the hour long shows as it doesn’t make me feel as if I’ve wasted my entire evening.

Overall 22 hopefuls made it from Memphis Tennessee.
