American Idol - Salt Lake City, UT

Welcome to the home of David Archuleta, where we REPLAY the fat redneck flashing the camera from last night. This is ALSO, according to Paula, the home of High School Musical!

And of course, you can't go to Utah without running into an Osmond. David Osmond. His backstory is interesting, dealing with MS - despite the fact that he's an Osmond, he doesn't seem presumptious. He has really pretty eyes, but is really heavily stylized, trying to NOT be an Osmond. But of course, name recognition helped him out. O course he's going to Hollywood.

And here's a fat goth named Tara who has ESP pretty strong. She has a good feeling that she's gonna win.

When she said Moulin Rouge, I thought 'Lady Marmalade' would be the worst she could do, but "One Day I'll Fly Away" is tough too.

And here is the obligatory montage of bad singers. They've got some nutters in Utah.

So here is Chris Kirkham, with a ginormous pink rabbit. Jump, rabbit, jump!

Now, everyone in Utah is happy!

Here's Frankie Jordan, a girl with a cute baby, and she's GORGEOUS, save for a slight issue with the nose. I don't really like her voice a whole a lot, but the judges do. She can sing, but it's not my type. Too stylized.

And here's Megan Corkrey, with a huge ugly tattoo. I'm strongly anti-tattoo. But she's really sweet, and she seems like a good mother. She's cute! Aaaand it's her birthday - she has an interesting, jazz sound that doesn't match the tattoo.

Woo! Apparently, Utah is a hotbed for talent. Not including Andrew Gibson.

And here's the Golden Boy with a quasi-lisp, Austin Cisneros - he's VERY charming. Cute. The song didn't seem to have any melody. He's got strange taste in music. And yet another cute boy goes in.

Yodeling sheep! Oh, wait. Those are bad auditions.

And here's very tall Taylor Vaifanua - Kara saw her practicing in the bathroom! She's definitely not among the BEST, but she's definitely good.

I'm going to sound heartless, but I'm a little disinterested in dredlocks girl and I don't really like her voice so I'm tuning out. Gnight! Apparently, Idol will be back tomorrow!
