I thought there were a couple of contenders in Salt Lake City. Wow...what an exuberant bunch! Must be all that mountain air.

Tonight will be the last two cities before Hollywood: New York City, and San Juan.

There's gotta be like 100-150 people going to Hollywood.


...as an aside. I tried to get tickets this year to one of the weekly shows (I went to the finale with Taylor Hicks in Season Five), but they have removed all the chairs and are making the audience stand the entire time, so I declined.

I don't think they can get rid of the seats at the Kodak Theatre though (the Hollywood auditions).
