lemons into lemonade

Wow, Paula's plane is delayed, so Simon and Randy are (sort of) flying solo.

8:02 We meet Chris, who says he's going to explode in happiness. "It's going to fly everywhere," he says. OK, I see where this is going. He greets the judges with gifts -- a stuffed animal and a T-shirt (or something) for Simon. He leaves a stuffed animal for absent Paula. He also has a bunch of pictures of himself with Kelly Clarkson.

Preditably -- maybe -- he sings "Since U Been Gone," badly, complete with an equally awful hand stand.

"It's not a dancing show," my 7-year-old viewing partner says accurately.

The judges deny him, surprisingly tactfully. He does have a pretty likeable personality.

Chris isn't done yet, however. He pulls out an audition for a red carpet correspondent. Something tells me we'll see him on the finale.

Apparently Simon has the same idea. He advises Chris to demand an AI job with his local Fox affiliate -- and tells him he has Simon and Randy's backing. Sweet!

"I'm so excited," Chris concludes of his broadcasting success. "I feel like I just won the lottery, but even better."

Seven-year-old Saylor's final thoughts?

"OK, you're not Kelly Clarkson."

How true.
