That Hasselhoff line was great, along with the "I know you all are wondering why I called this meeting" line as he approached the chair last night.

I am wondering if Leslie Hunt's big tongue is going to get in the way of her singing, she looked really weird while singing, she's got a big bottom jaw thing going on as well.

For the lazy, here's the link to the final 24 contestants.
Not much eye candy amongst the gals, though Nicole reminds me of Kristin Wiig (SNL). Gina annoys me, and I don't think she sound all that good. Jordin might be the favorite on the gals' side, but there are 4 gals that I don't have any opinion on (can't remember if I saw any singing footage of them yet. There's not one "blonde-blonde" in the gals group (a couple of brown/dirty blonde gals in the mix).
Chris is probably the odds-on favorite at this point, combo of funny and cuddlely sheepdog looks.
Nicholas has a decent voice, and Rudy has a lot of range. Sanjaya has more of the mid-range, smooth voice. Phil (the guy who skipped on his child's birth) actually made it to this point. Jared could surprise, though not sure about his personality.

i feel like chris is such a carefully crafted act that at some point it might not work and that maybe...because he is such a favorite people will start voting for underdogs...

I usually have favorites by this time, but this year, not so much. Almost everyone good they showed us got cut, so we are stuck with... these folks. I am not feeling the love yet, but alas, maybe they will grow on me.

Eh, nothing terribly funny there. He's good when he has funny one liners. I forsee him going far just based on his personality alone.

I thought the redhead was HORRIBLE~ The girl cut along side of the New Jersey girl should have made it through instead. You gotta wonder how many talented people get sent home only to have us listen to the nerdy lispers and red headed 16 year old crooners from past seasons.

Any idea what happened to the colorfully outfitted New York opera singer (think thick NY accent and tough-as-nails attitide) and the really handsome black guy from NY who is the adopted son of a South American couple?
They were two of my faves from NY who made it to Hollywood but neither appeared during auditions.
Also, my gf and I must have turned to each other a dozen times last night asking "Who WAS that?" Wish we could have seen more of the 24 in the audition rounds. few of these unknowns have NO shot against the oft-mentioned likes of Sligh, Gina, etc.

Yeah the black kid, that looked like he was 25. Paula really liked him.
They never showed him getting cut or anything.

Some speculation on other boards that her past lingerie modeling might have had something to do with her ouster.

BTW, the selection of the top 24 kind of blows that retarded conspiracy theory from the last thread away, doesnt it?
