From Charleston, SC–Home of Shrimp and Grits
Richard’: Says he “sounds like Clay Aiken.” Yikes. Sweet ‘fro, but no dice. “I wouldn’t have been surprised if you had done a magic trick in the middle of that,” said Simon. “1970s cruise ship-cabaret.”
Man, I love girls with Southern accents…hence why I live in Mississippi!! Southern women rock!(Cue: Southern Girls by Cheap Trick.)
DeAnna Prevatte: She has a great accent…too bad she can’t sing. Dang,it’s back to the buffet for her. “It was a bit angry, wasn’t it,” Simon asked.
If the teaser before the commercial is any indication, it looks like some major clownin’ is on the horizon.
Randy Stark and Crystal Ortiz: He is God awful. Jeeze. And she joined in and it’s just bad. “That was complete torture,” said Simon. “The good news is that you found each other.
Michelle and Jeffrey Lampkin: See previously mentioned clownin’. Wow…it’s not bad…they both have STRONG voices. Heck yeah! They are going to Hollywood!! I am a Jeffrey Lampkin fan! They Rock!!!!
Hey! Here’s the wacky producers reel of people that can’t sing. It gets funnier every night! They are all singing Before He Cheats…ahahahahahahaha. Yawn.
Amy Catherine Flynn: 16. She’s a seemingly good girl. She’s giving Simon an abstinence speech. She’s not bad. “A lot of people are going to find you annoying,” said Simon. She’s going to Hollywood. I hope that Hollywood doesn’t destroy her.
London Weidberg: She’s really pretty and seems sweet. She has that great twang when she sings. Of course she’s going to Hollywood. Her daddy would be proud.
Lindsay Goodman: She’s in the Air Force. Simon seems smitten. She has amazing eyes. Her singing isn’t bad–it’s not great, though.“You are a very good cabaret singer,” said Simon. No dice.
Aretha Codner: The Queen of Soul she’s not. “The singing was terrible,” said Simon. “You murdered that song.” Nope.
Joshua Boson: Give me a break……“American Idol sucks,” Boson said. And it does…..but so did your singing.
Oliver Highman: His wife just had a baby–missed his first day audition. Not my thing. “This is so over the top…corny old-fashioned…not very good,” said Simon. He has a beautiful wife and baby, but no Hollywood. One time, I checked into a hotel under the name Oliver Clothesoff.….
23 are going to Hollywood
My Favs: the Lampkins and London. We’ll see……
Here’s 1972’s American Idol, Mr. Conway Twitty:
I’m off to see if the Tater Queen from Kentucky won a million dollars on Deal or no Deal.
Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: I love you more than yo mama!

1. First, I have to say, Bluebell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. I try keep it down to one heaping bowl full a week since it's full of saturated fats and I'm a 43 year old trying to keep up the image of a front man. BUT, sometimes I'm weak and I backslide.
2. My Six Million Dollar Man Pinball machine. I finally got it fixed and have been playing it a lot. My 4 year old is learning how to play it so we get to play it together.
3. Saturday mornings, I get up and watch Kay Bain. I've been a loyal WTVA viewer for many years but I get a little upset because they've cut Kay down to just being on once a week. I love Kay Bain. You know, my coffee just tastes better with Kay Bain.
4. I've recently thrown out my old socks. I went to Wal-mart and bought a 12-pack of brand new white socks. I got them all for about eight bucks so I've been really happy about that.
5. My 14 year old daughter, Kit has become a facination. I've always been all about my daughter but now she's coming out with this Aretha Franklin style, powerful voice and I've just been amazed. I love listening to her sing.The Greatest Albums Of All Time (Some of the…)
