I had a colleague who was a stutterer (and he knew it). If we needed to talk about TSO CLISTs, we knew we were in for a long winter.

From what little I know, it is a wiring problem. But singing uses a different part of the brain.

Now using the part of your brain to use the LANGUAGE of the country you LIVE IN (I assume) is a whole different proposition...

I love love love this guy. God bless him.

[skateman]

Lol I don’t I like the bad auditions.

[floriduh voter]

There are so many singing shows and there are only so many singers that rise to the level. Trabbled water. Anyway, Bet has a gospel contest, there are other singing shows.

[Jrabbit]

wow....Bless his heart...

[freedumb2003]

>>I love love love this guy. God bless him.<<

I agree about God’s blessing.

It was OK — but I don’t expect him to be in the upper 50% 1st cut in Hollywood. His back story may carry him to round 3.

[patriotspride]

Oh, this guy is breaking my heart.:(

I am thinking his voice is going to be amazing.

He deserves a chance, firstbfor hisvtalent, second, he’s obviously.not a
Quitter.

[floriduh voter]

He was okay. If he can quit crying, he’ll be okay.

[Shelayne]

I want to give him a hug, too! *sniff*

Last audition of the day is a stutterer. I won't make fun of his impediment, but even if he makes it through on the show, the post-song chat with Seacrest will take forever.

But can he sing?

After that build-up, of course he can sing. Sounds like Josh Groban.

Randy: It's amazing you don't stutter when you sing.

Keith: Sing all the time.

Mariah: Beautiful voice.

4 yes votes gets him the Golden Ticket.

Next Wednesday, the auditions continue at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This is where the Marian/Minah catfight ensues.

[twin2]

His voice was way better than I even expected after the sob story. Can't wait to see him try to compete in the group rounds.

Put another disability on the score card for this year!

[floriduh voter]

The group rounds are the worst. If you get stuck with the wrong others, they can wreck your chances.

The player re: the football girlfriend hoax is in Bradenton, FL at a practice field this week. They have a live shot on Fox 13. Every time something happens, drag Florida into it! Let’s pretend Nikki is a hoax until next Wednesday, mmmmmkay? Facebook can’t stand her either; I’m talkin’ libs, conservatives, religious, secular. She’s a hoax.

So I'm stuck at reply #517....perhaps if someone could kindly ping me I may be able to see more replies...

Many thanks!

[freedumb2003]

Not quite understanding the problem — but ping.

If you browser reload you can usually get to the end of the thread if “Last” isn’t taking you to the end...

[Manic_Episode]

Bah, didn't work. Thanks anyways.

Freerepublic is not working for some people myself included.

Tried your suggestion with same results.

Oh well, perhaps tomorrow all will be well and I can catch up.

[freedumb2003]

“The numbers were exactly our expectations,” he says. “Everything [on broadcast] is down; it could have been worse. It’s still standing very tall considering the competitiveness.”

Good point. Mr. Ed's Wonder Years was put on hold as a mid-season replacement.

regular feed seems to be hung up too. not just AI.
