No wonder the show continues to grow in popularity: this season has featured the best audition shows yet. Consider the first kid, a young guy from California pretending to be a Jamaican and gamely joking his way through a pseudo-rap about "Idol." He was good-natured and silly and you assumed just happy to be on TV. Then you're caught up short when he is speaking in private after being (politely) rejected and he tears up, upset at doing a novelty act rather than trusting in himself, and you realize how much this meant to him. Simon made an interesting observation about one contestant (the belly dancer) with a sweet style. He said she had "a better recording voice than a live voice." Next season, expect the contestants who can't sing a lick to use that as their favorite defense.
Too much information: when a female prison guard jokes that she has handcuffs with her and Randy says Simon has been handcuffed before, Simon replies, "Normally, I'm the one who does the handcuffing." (This after chiding a kid for cursing becuase "Idol" is a family show.)
