AI 5 - My faves are in the Top 24!!!

No surprises in today's AI. My 3 faves are in the Magic Circle of 24. Just a few observations and comments:

I loved Taylor Hick's grand entrance, complete with harmonica accompaniment, a first according to Paula. He was so endearing when he broke into song upon learning he's through in spite of Simon's disagreement.

I'm sorry but I just cant help but comment on Stephanie Scott. She's pretty and all, I like her outfit, very flattering on her, but man her make up made me step back a bit. I'm no make up expert but her RED lipstick, matched with PINK blusher and GOLD eye shadow was too much for me. Hopefully the AI makeup artists will do a good job on her.

Kudos to Mandisa Hundley for making Simon eat humble pie and apologize for his tacky remarks during her Chicago audition.

My favorite soundbites... courtesy of the Brittenum twins, who with a sigh of relief, are not competing due to their legal problems.

"My behavior in this past 4 days has been nothing but exemplary."

"We've been angels."

"Our behavior has been absolutely flawless".

Go here for Derrell's mug shot tee hee hee.

I noticed that there are a lot of eye candy this season and I really wonder if they are as talented as the judges believe they are. We'll see as the saga of AI continues...
