I love Sam Harris too! I remember us talking about him at Frazz's board. I can't wait to see the clips with Adam! I know he made Top 50. I really hope he makes the show. He will be fun.

Here is Sam Harris' YouTube Channel link.........

Thanks for that link! I didn't know Sam was a dad! How cool. Did he and Danny adopt him or was a surrogate used? Sam and Clay should get together and swap new Dad stories!

That Adam Lambert kid seems like he might be fun. I'm looking forward to him, all the "ringers" (if only to see what they're like), Michael Castro, and the young blind man.

I've never been a fan of Sam Harris in the sense that I regularly check for info on him but I do google his name every so often.

I don't regularly check on Sam Harris either, but I do keep his sites saved and visit them once in a while. I sure hope they show Michael Castro's audition and performances.

I'm so bummed Michael didn't go further

I think this is going to be a "very interesting" (tm Arte Johnson Laugh-In) year!! Starting with the "new judge"!

This video is so funny.............but obviously not to the girls in the video!! The camera was running as they announced the winner of Idol...........

HA! I've seen that several times. David Cook is actually the one that brought it to people's attention. They showed it on Ellen when DC was on. He loved the part where they say the guy who won "doesn't even shave!"

So did anyone else watch tonight? I like a few people. Scott was really good. The rocker chick I liked a lot. That boy that had "Danny" hair I liked a lot. There were a couple of young girls that were really good too!

Not sure I like having 4 judges though. I guess time will tell.

I think I liked the same ones!!! They had some good ones in this one!

There were a few good ones tonight - voice wise. Not sure I saw any real stars though. Michael Castro was pretty good and seems fun. He is no Jason though in the looks and charisma department.

So sad about Danny losing his wife. So young. What a shame.

Oh, and the Indian guy with the strange name - looked like a total nerd but had a really great voice! I hope they can help him with his look and stage presence. He seems very nice and intelligent too.

Looks like Hollywood week is going to be good TV!!

Initially, I think they have some good singers! I loved watching the interplay between Jason and Michael. I'm looking forward to seeing what Michael can do! For me, Michael doesn't have the same charisma that Jason has.

I'll bet their little sister Jackie auditions when she's old enough too.

I was not impressed at all by Von Smith. I thought he was incredibly shouty and frankly, a little out of tune.

Personally, even if Michael had made the Top 36 I do not think he would have gone anywhere near as far as Jason did. They so seem to have a good and fun relationship.

When will Jackie be old enough? A couple years?

Oh Badger - I did not like Von Smith at all! I thought he was terrible! I really thought they were not going to put him through. I almost fell over when they did. If I were a judge I would have told him louder is not better! He was kind of cute - liked his little hat - so it will be interesting to see how he does in Hollywood.

I didn't watch. How is the new lady? She looks pretty.
My sister did send me that youtube of those little girls reacting to David C winning. It is hysterical. They were serious, no?
