God Bless American Idol

Okay so let's get this out of the way first: why does Randy Jackson insist on referring to singing as "blowing"? Doesn't he feel the world snicker when he screams, "Yeah man, you can blow!"?

Philadelphia brought out some head-scratchers like 22-year-old James Lewis, who seemed to have an issue or two. Temptress Browne, a 16-year-old female linebacker (not kidding) also had a few pitch problems, but a heart of gold and an ailing mother who loved her.

"The not so good news is that you're not a great singer, Sweetheart," Simon Cowell told Temptress as she burst into tears.

Alexis Cohen a college student from Allentown, Pennsylvania who lives with her mother and cats gave a scary audition.

"Well Simon didn't didn't like me but he's a big, fat, bad word," Cohen screamed at Ryan Seacrest.

Junot Joyer was a bright spot, belting out Elton John's, "Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues." Twenty-six-year-old Angela Martin, whose young daughter suffers from Rett Syndrome will also go far. Although Simon said she needed to "de-wedding-ize her voice (she's a wedding/corporate events singer), The Beat is predicting big things for this young woman. Kristy Lee Cook from Oregon who sang "Amazing Grace" was also a judge favorite, while Beth Stalker blew away Randy and Paula... but not Simon.

Other hopefuls included 39-year-old social worker, Milo Turk, who sang his original, "No Sex Allowed," while 24-year-old Star Wars fan Christina Tolisano had a hard time with rejection. "They need something different for this show and they're not allowing it," Christina cried after she was dismissed.
