nathan spoons, amanda's sharp as a knife

8:43 Bad singer montage. Did anybody else like the nerdy guy singing Akon?

8:44 Time for Nathan, "a ninth grade repeater." He's all gothed out. You know the type. He asks, "For future reference, how much am I allowed to move here?" Anyway, he pulls out some Finger 11. If this is why he didn't have time to finish ninth grade the first time, I'm not impressed.

Simon calls it a "bedroom audition" -- the kind of song you sing while you're rocking out alone in your bedroom. Nathan gives a series of smart-ass retorts, none of which is really funny.

Seacrest meets Nathan, and asks him why Simon labeled the performance a bedroom audition.

His answer?

"Maybe it's the fact that I refused to spoon with him so he didn't let me through."

Best line of the season?

8:47 We meet Amanda Overmyer, a nurse who is also a biker babe. I've already heard a lot of hype about her. This should turn out well.

She sings Janis Joplin, which in spite of some weird seizure-like dance moves, sounds good. Simon requests another song, and she naturally ops for rock and nails it. Three-way yes. Paula even calls her the next Chris Daughtry.

Yes it is interesting that Simon was looking at this kid and then starts fantasizing about him alone in his bedroom
