>>The young woman with the cowboy hat had some issues, yes. I don't think they should put contestants like that on the air for all to laugh at. How will they feel if she is found hanging from a tree? (Probably nothing more than a pinprick; the ratings were good, weren't they?).

>>Within about four notes I knew the second of the New Jersey pals was the better singer. She had been talking about how fabulous a singer her friend was, she's had vocal lessons. Maybe that was gamesmanship or maybe she genuinely did feel inferior. She gets my vote. Nice legs, too.

>>I still haven't seen any contestants who pop off the screen the way Katharine, Taylor, Chris, Mandisa, or Lisa did last season.

>How about the girl who is an Opera singer and missed the school to go to audition? I liked her.

She was good, and, like she said, she can adapt to different styles. I guess she could have quite an unusual voice. Take Charlotte Church (the voice of an angel). She seems to have abandoned her opera now for pop and grunge (and she has her own unique chat show over here).

As for the NY girls, she looked cool and all, but I'm not sure she was playing with a full deck either.
