Oh I know!!! When I heard about the auditions going on here in SLC last year, I put on Twitter something about taking bets on how many of the Osmond kids try out. Lo and behold, the first audition on tonight's episode was an Osmond...

He's already got his website all up and ready (um, except for the really bizarre typo in the date... December 2009? Really?)! www.DavidArchuletaWho?.com

Wow looks like he's pretty confident. I thought he was good but there were plenty of others out there who were just as talented if not more so.

Thai, your fake domain totally got me. I may have actually had a lil more respect for the kid if he blatantly ripped Archuleta in his site name.

So thai, as a Utah resident don't you have to love the Osmonds?

I think kara nailed it after he left

"he's just so general"

I have to say I was impressed by Salt Lake and the 16 "like Jordan" and the blond hippie girl with dirty feet.

LMAO @ THE OSMOND....Todd, get out my hed cuz that is exactly what I thought. THEN my next thought was "I can't take an Osmond on AI and DWTS...friggin Donny" hahaha I haven't watched auditions in 2 seasons and I got chills a few times...I may just pay attention this yeat

How is he related to Donny and Marie?

nephew right?

Dude I LOVED the hippie chick. I think her voice ROCKED. I sometimes think I am not hearing the same thing the judges are because I am often confused as to why they love someone (ie Clay Aiken, Elliot "Fubu Grill" Yamen, Jordan Sparks, etc.

I am going to shoot myself later, but I agree with Todd. I liked the Jazzy nature of that Megan chick and Winehouse Part Deux. I am also excited to see the oil rig dude again.

Yes newphew...his father is Donny and Marie's brother

Ditto on the hippe girl Moll...she reminded me of Keira Knightley at times, I lived her voice and audition song...and that backstory will keep her in for a while too, but she did have a glow about her imo.

Is the oil rig dud the one Simon told to "be younger?"

I liked the next Jordan and the hippie chick too. They were both really good. There was one named Megan that I liked as well. (the other one Simon said he'd remember in addition to hippie). I think she was a single mom.

Yeah the one who sang Winehouse was pretty good too. I liked her.

(doh I should learn to read first, Todd mentioned Megan already)

Yea Megan the mom...damn she looked good for having an infant..I was hatin lmao (baby's daddy not that bad either ctfu)

It sucks only 1 audition episode left an still no sign of crazy Paula yet.

If you like the auditions, Todd, you are definitely going to like Hollywood week (next week) That's when you get to see who they really are and if they are really good or not.

Yes Toni, megan the mom looked good. She might be my fav.

pjohn, awesome can't wait. I never watched the run up to the top 12,, i always just checked in then, and didn't care much. I guess after watching the whole thing ill have my favs picked out and all. I'm excited to get addicted?

Just a reminder, we're doing team picking when it hits the final 36. That's when scoring and priiiiizes will start.

I really liked the girl who likes to sing nekkid, Melinda. She was so cute and bubbly. I also enjoyed her song choice "Feeling Good". So glad she got a golden ticket!

Monique (the girl who brought her little brother along) was good too. He was such a ham!

(whoops double post)

I loved the little brother! What a charmer.

Oh man, how about Alexis coming back again this year?

awkWARD...

Joyride, did you double post to up the odds on winning a prize? LOL! ;)

I liked the girl with the little brother, I was really surprised that Randy and Kara were skeptical about her saying she wasn't old enough or developed.

Yet they send the jokester thru?

Mrtini-Nope the site was incredibly slow and I wasn't sure if I actually hit post or if I thought I did ;)


yeah I had a feeling Alexis hadn't really changed that much in just a year. That was hliarious.

Megan - I was surprised they let the jokester through too. He really wasn't that good and you can tell he's not going to take this competition seriously.

First off: SOOOOOO glad Bikini girl is outta there I can't believe her comment about "other people being fake". Her antics were lame too, leaving the group while they were practicing and acting like she had dropped out and then showing up to sing at the last minute. Posing all the way out I'm sure we'll hear about her getting a gig with Playboy soon enough.

I can't believe Tatiana went through. She is NUTS.

There's a guy named Jeremy that I noticed. He reminds me a little bit of Chris Jericho. Very cute ;)

Danny is one of my favorite guys so far. Very unique voice and he's like able. I'm so glad his whole group went through, their acappella performance was awesome. Also happy that Jasmine (from "Divas") went through. She's great!

I feel for Nancy Wilson (the girl who tried calming everyone down when Tatiana left her group to join theirs and then left again). I have a feeling she was cut because she stumbled for about a second on the lyrics. I thought over all she did a really good job and deserved to be there, instead of the blond girl who was being a crybaby.

D'oh! The Osmond was cut! I thought for sure he was going to top 4!! Seriously, my jaw dropped when I saw that... Couldn't Uncle Donnie have slipped Paula a $20? Geez...

I thought Bikini Girl would for sure go on for reason of insanity on Simon's part... errr... I mean because of her "talent".

Tatiana... Worse than Sanjaya. I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

Joyride, you're right on the money honey about Nancy. That was tragic!

Did I miss the visually impaired fella? I don't recall seeing whether or not he went on or was cut.

Yeah I can't believe Osmond was dropped but CRAZY Tatiana went through. WTF (you know, the one who tried to switch groups half way through and kept giggling and acting nuts). How does that even happen???

I sincerely hope Tatiana gets cut before getting into the top 24. Can you imagine if she gets that far and they put her on the votefortheworst page?? Holy sheep. Lets hope that doesn't happen.

Thai - I was wondering about the visionally impaired guy too! They showed him for a second practicing or something and then never showed him again.
