Al Calderon tries to sing Here's My Number but that did not work at all. Oh dear. One of the first quite embarrassing auditions in this section. He's a nice chap but not someone who will go far in this competition. I expect he'll get a chair and then lose it again.
Paulina has to think about it so his chances will be slim of remaining. 'Please take a sit' she says. He may want to add his own h.
Isaiah Alston is the church choir singer. Cheerful very young chap with good tone. But the notes go wrong, As does the breathing and most of it really. Awful. Just like these programmes used to be. So far the boys are not doing well. The audience boos away at the judges' comments. No idea what they they see or heard but it can't have been what we heard. He has to go and Paulina has the courage to tell him straight and not do the seat thing.
Isaac Tauahefa starts off nice and confident but it's a bit bland. He's not very good. It's also a very very short song. Not good at all. More boos. Well done, Paulina. She sends him straight home too.
The guy with Turettes. Carlos Guevara. Maybe that helps him. He is by far the best so far. That may not be saying much but he deserves to go through anyway and will be good TV. He's through and didn't need the 'I want to be an inspiration' speech although it was good to hear and beats the 'This is all I wanna do' ones.
Stone Martin is the cute little boy with the cool name that doesn't quite match him. Well, not yet, at any rate. It probably will when he's a hunky 20 year old. That's a nice audition start. But something goes wrong with Torn. Not a good choice as it's more difficult than it seems and it's quite a relief that it lasts just a few seconds. The judges like him. Paulina is looking for a male Taylor Swift. She will take him but I'm not sure she actually wants to.
Chase Goehring is someone I don't remember. He sounds good, nicely original and current, from the clips of early auditions. He is shown driving a huge new car to arrive at the stadium. You have to wonder at how impossible that would be in UK. An odd song I don't know either but it goes OK. But no-one likes the I Wish song very much. He'll get a seat but I think his future is elsewhere. He'll want to write his own stuff.
Tim Olstad is 24 which is a bit older than the others. Quite a big bit in fact. He's a bit pasty-faced and looks like someone who was very good but who didn't make the UK Live Shows. He looks so nervous, hiding behind the microphone. Oh dear, it's The Climb. It's a mess to my ears. Some nice notes here and there but this is not someone who'll be around long or will get some big fan club. Unless he starts doing Country. Oh, hadn't thought of that. The girls like him, though. Demi and Kelly want him to stay. Paulina is dubious and that gets the boos going big time. He's better than a couple of those already sitting so she can do that. She chooses Stone Martin. That was quite a surprise. Fair enough.
Cue Stone crying. That's fair enough too, Pretty damned emotional for a 14 year old. All credit to him and I'm sure we'll see retakes of this series in years to come when he does finally get through at 16 or 17.
Carlito Olivero was one of the very first guys we saw and I reckon Paulina has a good feeling for him so he has a good start there. He was one of the best before and is one of very few to hit the right nots amongst the boys. He has to stay. Sings Spanish too, just in case he hadn't already appealed. The four guys seated look glum. they know one of them is out. Paulina takes her time. Cue speech about there being no Latinos out there. Mario gets picked up and twirled around by one delighted Carlito. So he's in and Chase goes home. The crowd didn't like that either.
Timmy Thames is just 13. Pictures of him in nappies. I suppose there's not much else they can find for someone that age. He's got a guitar on stage. The New Girl In Town may have been the title. He sings really well and is current and that sounds good. It could be a hit released just like it is. Great contender who looks cool, way beyond his ridiculous years. Demi wasn't blown away. Simon thinks it would be 'insane if he left the competition'. Paulina has a toughie. I would just put him there and swap out Tim or Al. Fairly easy now I think of it. She chooses Tim Olstad. Seems to be an unpopular decision.
Josh Levi is the last to audition for the prize of Live Shows and $4000 or more a month as well as a whole load more for those who play it well. He was brilliant in the first stage so this could mean Al's time is finally up. I don't quite see what all the fuss was about when she swapped Tim for Timmy. Paulina asks for a 'timeout' whatever that means. Now she says that she wants Tim back. Eh? That means he has to be in the Live Shows as there is no way that he can be swapped out later. Oh dear. Not a good decision. Al will have to go, surely. Or will she really screw up Timmy. No, it's Al. But someone still has to go to make way for Josh. Looks like little Timmy will ahve to return next year after all as none of the others deserve to go. Big mistake there, Paulina.
Paulina wasn't at Josh's auditions but she'll have seen the recordings which are often better. He's good all right. Demi is all over the place with admiration and that's bound to affect Paulina. Kelly calls him a superstar. He can perform as well as sing. Simon can see he's going far. Paulina reckons what he did was perfect so she'll put him in, obviously. The question is: who goes?
Poor Timmy Thames. Funny thing is I reckon he was the best of the bunch so look forward to seeing him return to this or another competition in the next year or two,
Now, after all that emotional stuff, it is almost a relief to have Simon in charge and it'll be interesting to see (a) how the groups perform, especially those we've never seen before that he's constructed, and (b) the final line up of all 16 Live Show acts. The betting starts there!
From what we've seen so far the winner will be a girl or one of the groups so these choices are important.
Girls United put on a good, together job. Well-rehearsed and presented, Lively and quite attractive. Not sure they would survive in the wild. They'll be kept for now.
Wild Thingz seem amazingly popular in the audience and certainly do something different and fun. I can't see where they fit in to the show. They could do well on their own but putting them up against some old Country crooners and some sexy girls doesn't make a great deal of sense. They take a seat for now but they'll not be there long.
Glamour are three 12 -13 year-olds, Good grief. It sounds strange to hear the lyrics about whiskey and someone missing them when they're gone but the 60s vibe is fabulous. They're not yet ready and need to go home. He puts them on the seats but I don't see any of the ones selected so far staying.
Restless Road are three guys who missed out on the boys section. It's a good move to put two really good looking guys and another not bad one in together singing Country. That's what America likes and it doesn't really exist anywhere. Neat move, Simon! Kelly is crazy for them. They'll get a seat.
Oh. That's it. We have to wait, presumably until next week now, after all.
