So we just wrapped up the show's first hour, with a recent highlight being the first set of siblings to advance to Hollywood. They're united by tongue-twister names and quasi-stellar vocal abilities, and I'm looking forward to some family feuding during the Hollywood rounds.
I also just had a taste of Nick, the guy Seacrest dubbed a "super nerd." He sang "Unchained Melody," Simon's favorite song, awfully (obviously)...only to get the inevitable "What the bloody hell was that?" Nick's response? "It was me. Was that not good enough?"
Clearly it wasn't...but we still got Simon's description of the tune as "almost non-human." So maybe he's a little animalistic. Big deal. How else are you going hit those high notes?
Anyway, the first day of auditions closed with Rudy...a Latin stallion and Charo's male counterpart. He made it through on his rendition of Journey's "Open Arms," appealing obviously to judge Randy Jackson but earning a thumbs-down from Simon Cowell in the process.
His shot at the finals looks uncertain, but continuing to kiss up to Randy could at least earn him a temporary spot in the dawg pound.
Don't stop believing, Rudy.
