Basically tons of maybe's, lots of possibilities, and surprises...
San Diego
Aubrey - the girl who said she wants to be on America's next top model. At first, I hated her but then she has this clean easy sweet bubble voice. Maybe?
Ally Shields - The big Ellen fan whose first kiss was usher on AMA carpet. Sang Corinne bailey Rae kind of good, but I'm sure she won't last long.
Kyle Cruz - the Frat boy who was obsessed with being in a frat also surprised me with the serenade of the Monica song, not fantastic but so surprising...
Jane Carrey - umm LOVED the moment of JLo remembering her from In Living Color with Jim Carrey when she was a fly girl. I liked that the judges actually knew who her Dad was and didn't pretend.
Jason Wolf Hamlin - His father just passed and he sang CCR. Every season has a guy
Ike this. Casey from last season, this super talented musician who is a throwback and doesn't find that new pop sound. Always worry about commercial viability of that sound. Not everyone can be Josh Grobin and become a success.
Aspen
The girl fighting with her sister has some serious problems. If I was her sister, I would seriously want eyes on the back of my head.
Haley Smith - the vegetarian nature girl who sang Tell Me Something Good. She has a great voice, but is too weird. I loved Haley Reinhert so much last season, that I kind of don't want someone like her to win now...
Shelby - the one with the major Minnesota accent who is bi polar. Sings Carrie Underwood's Temporary Home. JLo loved it, I thought it was okay but of course her story totally got to me.
There were some funny ones in this episode. The Gaga / Bette Midler / burlesque girl who actually has a decent voice but is so weird. JLo has her sing another song which proves she does not know who she is, but her voice is better. I mean, does she want to make it? If they hadn't let her do something else, she would have lost because she is a weirdo. Lucky girl.
Umm and then there was Magic. Who is this guy? From Davenport Iowa with a British accent, he gives them judges choice. He wasn't funny enough in his songs. Annoying.
And now on to tonight's episode in Portland.
Have I said I like the contestant video diaries? Well, I do.
Brittany Zuka - another Haley type, so you know what I think about that.
Jermaine Jones -- 6 foot 8 inch who sang Luther. There is always one of these every season too (see Ruben, Jacob Lusk). I don't think he did anything new.
Britnee Kellogg - the mother of two little boys whose basketball playa' husband held her back. I already love her. And then she starts singing Carly Simon's You're No Good, and I'm a believer in her dreams. Love it! And then she asks JLo for advice on juggling motherhood an your dreams, which makes me start crying. Nice.
Naomi Gilles - she sings Steven Tyler's Crying. Wow. Very very good. And I like her cute bangs look. She could be major.
And now a tearjerker to end the night. Jessica Phillips - her boyfriend of 5 years had a stroke last year. And she is now his caretaker. What a story. Nice melodic voice, a little Monica and Mary J. Good to see what happens. Yup crying.
I'm ready for Hollywood week where we can really see all the talent. But so far, some glimpses look good.
Don't be ashamed of watching bad movies on a plane...(I watched the SJP "I Don't Know How She Does It" Woah, that was terrible.
Oh and I want to hear form you on the Superbowl commercials - tell me your faves!
