RaleighWood: American Idol auditions

8:03 p.m. This crazy woman thinks she will make it to the top 12 because her psychic told her she would. Hahahahahahaahahaaha

8:04 p.m. She has a press kit. Too bad she doesn’t have fashion sense.

8:05 p.m. Simon lays the smackdown on her dreams.

8:06 p.m. Paula says ‘yes’to her.

8:07 p.m. Randy and Kara agree, she goes through to Hollywood? Hello Sanjaya Part 2.

8:08 p.m. If she doesn’t stop that annoying laugh, I think I am going to break the TV.

8:13 p.m. Dean-Anthony Bradford – he killed a sofa for his coat.

8:14 p.m. Owww my ears!

8:15 p.m. Simon tells him that his hair color and outfit are as bad as his singing.

8:16 p.m. He is now blaming his coat for not making it through.

8:18 p.m. Jesus (sorry, I missed his last name) brings in his children to meet the judges. He performs a nice version of "Unchained Melody" and  is through to Hollywood.

8:20 p.m. They are teasing their “heartwarming story” of the night. Looks like a guy who cares for his mother and gave up on his dream of singing.

8:33 p.m. Kara and Simon fight over who gets to talk more.

8:34 p.m. OK this girl has pages of vocal training information and is studying before her audition.

8:35 p.m. Maybe she should have studied the judges – she just called Randy, Simon.

8:36 p.m. Poor girl's voice cracks! OMG

8:38 p.m. Kara gives her a hug and off she goes.

8:39 p.m. Kara calls Simon on why he yells at some people and others he lets continue to talk or sing.

8:45 p.m. Quick clips of people who made it…guess they weren’t “interesting enough” for a closer look.

8:47 p.m. Adam Lambert sings “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It is pretty obvious he will get through, not only did they talk about him a lot but he has been in the cast of “Wicked.”

8:49 p.m. Simon says he is too theatrical but votes him through to Hollywood.

8:50 p.m. Adam admits to going to a Paula Abdul concert. I feel his shame, I had several of her CDs and a book cover.

8:57 p.m. Kai Kalama takes care of his mother full-time. He has a nice voice and the judges like him. He’s moving on to the next round.

8:59 p.m. Twelve people from San Francisco got the ticket to Hollywood.

Next up: Kentucky

I like him too, but I could see the theatrical side that Simon was talking about. It is going to be a rough Hollywood round for some of these people.

I liked Kai ... I hope he does well.
