Now, now, Jonny. The gray and chestnut butts with long tails are much better looking that the grinning fool in the middle. LOL!

Thank goodness the auditions are finally over... this was pretty painful to get through. The bad auditions really do stop being funny after a couple of nights. (Though I've got to give "props" to the guy who came in that hilarious fake armor.) They said they took 36 from Boston, but only showed four auditions of people who made it. I'd have rather they had a longer episode and showed us a good chunk of the other 32.

As for those they did show...

Ayla Brown -- Looks good, solid voice, but as the judges pointed out, no real range of expression shown. She has potential, but frankly, this girl could probably use a small dose of disappointment in her life to build character.
Rebecca O'Donahue -- Looks great and has a kind of sultry voice, but also an alto, i.e., a lower range than most of the auditioning females. I think she's someone to watch out for, but the lower range can hurt her, as everything she sings will probably have to be transposed and may "sound wrong" in the new key.
Tatiana Ward -- I think she has a good basic voice, but terrible technique. Her pitch falls off at the end of phrases, and all of the glides and "coloring up" seem to me more like covering up the fact that she's not hitting pitches. I'd never have let her through to Hollywood.
Kevin Covais -- When you saw him, you just knew he'd have a great voice, and be absolutely horrible. Apparently, it's the former. He showed nice pitch and control, and has a pleasant tonal quality. If he can survive Hollywood week, the stylist should be able to do something with him. If he's lucky.

Next: GAME ON!
