Now they've brought Jen back once more, and - still unsure whether they actually want her or not - are asking her to sing alongside Kirstin, the sweet young girl with that hairdo women have where it looks like they're wearing several wigs at once. Jen auditioned with her husband in New York - they both made it to Hollywood, then he got booted. I wonder how long they'll carry on doing it for after they're bored… "I'm afraid the news isn't great …" yeah, yeah, Paula, what is it then? "It's … fantastic!" I wonder how far they can take that particular trick before everyone gets bored of it. Paula tries to top Simon's thing from earlier with her own psych out. Kendall Beard comes next in the run, and gets put through for being blonde and pretty and having the best name in the whole competition. We see three or four men get the heave-ho. It's no where near as crucial as they say. Thinking of auditioning for season 9? Really, don't bother trying to tie down EXACTLY what you're meant to be singing. And in another exception to the 'forget the lyrics and you're out' rule - she forgot'em. She was the mumbling Alicia-Keysite from yesterday.

I think with every song I forgot the lyrics". Joanna Pacitti: "Hollywood week was completely insane. Jasmine Murray, Arianna Afsar, Casey Carlson, Megan Corkrey (tattooed mum? We hope so, she flashed by too fast to tell for sure), Mishavonna Henson and Stevie Wright - they're all in, they're all unremarkable enough to get less screen time than it took to type their names. Remember that bit where Simon came and sat down at the beginning of group round and said, "There's only one rule: forget the lyrics, and you're OUT."? Well, he lied. Taylor Vaifanua forgot the words on the group round. "It's not good news." Says Simon, in a 'clearly I'm toying with you' tone of voice… "It's GREAT news." And he's through. Still, the man can out-Cher Cher, and a lot of the voting public might be into that … Next sure thing - Adam Lambert the musical theatre star, whose haircut wears him, rather than the other way around. They nod, and pout, and try and look as sad as they can while worrying about how this might affect their chances. "You're the best friends I've ever had", says poor wee Cody to a bunch of people he's spent the last four days with. They get back to the waiting room, and he tries to contain his inner jumping up and down as Cody breaks his bad news to other contestants. The decision making process is hard on him though, as he has to look sad for his mate Cody even though the best thing ever has just happened to him. But Alex (Wagner-Trugman, since you ask) sings well, although with a face slightly like your granddad belting out 'Oh Danny Boy' unasked halfway through the speeches at your wedding after mixing his heart medication with cheap champagne, and he's through. In reality, the two people involved have to sing another song.Ĭody Sheldon is the slightly emo-kid with the gender ambiguous name, and vocal style (and face), but since Cody's up against Alex, a lad with short hair and a visible adam's apple, we can tell that he, definitely he, might be in with a chance. In theory, this sounds like some kind of tuneful rap battle with clever rhymes and the verbal beating down of each other's momma. The contestants have been told that the judges might want to hear them sing again, but not, say Seacrest, relishing every word, that they want them to engage in a SING OFF.

"Well" says Simon "I should tell you, it was that choice that YOU made that united all the judges in their decision" Von talks about how he's deferred to his parents too much, and how he made the decision all himself to sing You Can Feel It All Over in the last solo round even though it was a silly happy song and his parents thought he should have blasted them with another power-thing. Well, I'm glad that's that out of the way.

The pressure's on for first contestant - oh! Someone up there has been listening. Nor Paulas - everyone's seen that on her reality show. They've had final judgements before - but this year it's different: because they're doing it in a Hollywood mansion. This is, he says: All new final judgement.

This is the only day that matters says Ryan … making us wonder why he's made us bother wasting our time on the rest of all those days.
