Hello, again! AI10 – so far, so good – I like the chemistry of the judges this year and I don’t sense any obvious bias from them.
Scotty Mccreary is so pleasant and well-mannered; if you close your eyes you can almost hear a young Elvis before the crazy Hollywood stage. I think we could all use some good manners and civility right now.
Scott Dangerfield, Taiwan Strong, and Steve Bagoon seem to have the chops …
Chris Medina is this year’s heart-wrencher – I too, was moved by this show’s ending.
I wish them all well.
This is the first show I’ve seen this season and this show seemed like “guys night”. So, I am having visions of another year of talented young men again – did I miss some of the young ladies sing last week or this? If so, tell me about it and I will watch for them.

Julia – so far the guys have lit up the TV screen. The girls are wonderful but only a couple have sparked my interest. Let’s see what tonight brings! Nice to see you back.

My head is spinning. I can’t remember them all. I did think all the judges were very sweet to Chris Medina’s fiance. Steven’s kneeling down and getting on her level was particularly thoughtful of him and touching.
