size matters

But back to the real people...Hollywood just got two especially intriguing women from Seattle, the first of whom was Anna. She's freakishly tall at 6'7" (with heels) and got the thumbs-up after her rendition of "Respect." Only after an incredibly awkward grunting exchange between Paula and Randy. They were supposed to be imitating Simon's ambivalence, but 20 more seconds of the uncomfortable banter would have left me expecting a massive-eyed bush baby to emerge from under the table.
Anna left happily...but not happily enough to choose the right exit door. Looks like vertically-challenged Seacrest IS the last one laughing after all.
Anyway, the second successful auditioner was 16-year-old Anna, who made it to Hollywood based on her take on Celine Dion. Her dad played in the NFL. We'll see how she does in the next stage of competition, especially after the blank stare she gave after Paula and Randy told her Simon likes cricket.
We learned seven hopefuls made it to Hollywood, and then we were treated to a power sequence of awful renditions of "Don't 'Cha," including a repeat appearance by software engineer and super nerd Nick.
There's Pussycat Dolls...and there's Pussycat Dolls with "Child's Play" cameos.
