The Idol Search rolls on!  San Diego was apparently bringing the talent, even though viewers didn't get to see that much of it!  You'll remember that Philly sent 29 people to Hollywood and Dallas only sent 24.  San Diego sent 31 through to the Hollywood round.

My top three with talent:  Samantha!  She was one of what I like to cal the S.W.L.S. aka Sisters Who Love Simon.  They were over the top with their professed affection for the judge many love to hate.   But frankly her sister gave her the worst review of all --joining Simon Randy and Paula on the panel during the audition.  The judges that count loved her and so did I.  Next for me was Carly from Ireland.  She auditioned and made it in Season 5 and then was DQ'd because of VISA issues.  She sang "I'm Every Woman" and tore it up.  I really really really think she will go all the way to the finals. And finally for me -- the greatest story of the night: Perrie Cataldo.  The single dad.   He sang the Boyz II Men song "I'll Make Love to You."  I LOVED him.  He sounded great.  The kid is adorable, the mom dying, the song.  Uh!  Good stuff! 

There were only a couple of non-talent folks to mention.  Alberto Hurtado was the "big fan."  So sad.  Sometimes, I wonder why the producers have to play up some of these stories that are just sad.   31 people went through, let's see some of them.  The only other one I thought was good was Blake Boshnack.  That's the Statue of Liberty guy from Season 5.   He really wasn't that bad and I love his attitude.  He has auditioned 11 times.  11 times.  He's gonna keep on keeping on. 

That's it for Tuesday.  See ya next time!
