amanda rocks, ghaleb necesita ayuda

8:23 Time for Amanda. Remember, she's the biker nurse from Indiana who auditioned in Atlanta. Oh wait, new development: She had a major car accident after auditioning, thus enhancing her already quasi-compelling back story. Well played.

She sings "Light My Fire" and I really like her. Clearly, the producers have already pegged her as this season's token rocker chick. Looks like this is another instance in which the spoilers might be right. Still, she's better than ones we've seen in the past.

The judges like her, though Simon suggests she needs to expand her range. Three-way yes, though.

8:26 Montage of contestants who forgot their lyrics.

8:28 Say hello to Ghaleb...the latin lover from Miami. I hate this guy. He's a wannabe Enrique Iglesias who isn't even cute. He reminds me of the foreign exchange kid who always gets tons of booty in college just because he speaks four languages.

Luckily, he bombs his performance, guitar and all. At least in my mind. Wait, Paula's smiling. Which might not mean anything, but still...

OK judge feedback: Paula actually doesn't like it, and Simon and Randy follow suit.

Adios, muchacho! (For now.)

8:31 Turns out 54 contestants didn't get a free pass on the first day of Hollywood. They'll be back in our next segment. Hmmm...that means just over 100 got the free pass. The judges were pretty friendly, eh?
