Please note – I don’t know if any of them made it through

Who dressed these losers??
Josh had the judges SPEACHLESS!!! Is he relly serious???
I thought Cara was HOT!!!! She didn’t sign well enough to get through but I fell in love with her. HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!
The judges were dead wrong on Oliver Highman. The guy can sing. He displayed amazing breath control, and an excellent tone. I had goose bumps when I heard him. How do we get him back on?
id have to agree with jim. cara is very hot. but she is also he sweetest girl in th world. as i have ben dating her for the past year and a half. she will always be my american idol!!!
Love you, Nate, and thanks, Jim! Viewers out there have no idea how tough this process is. I was the very last person to audition in Charleston. The whole process took two weeks and three rounds of judges, just to get in front of Simon, Paula and Randy! I could have performed better, but no regrets. Simon and Randy really are mean – it is not just for the show!
awe Kenny! he’s in one of my favorite bands, Philos. Yep. They’re pretty much amazing. I would have voted for him.
