Salt Lake City, Utah

Hooty hoot what????

A big 'ol shout out to my home town,,, (yeeaaaahhhh,,, boooooooyyyyy) - spoken like Flava Flav.

I am proud to say that the SLC is representin' yo. Look at them shine, look at them being all happy, in fact,,,,, 'shiny happy people holding hands' sung by R.E.M. is playing of course. How lame, yes the people of SL are happy I suppose, and we all go around say 'golly gee whitakers Mr. Johnson!' And to make the whole stereotype even better, let's throw in an Osmond or 50 to boost the ratings right at the bat.

I must say I like the Osmonds, grew up listening to the Christmas Album and watching my bro. and sis. do a little show like Donny and Marie's. Here's to me and me not knowing that this son of Allen has M.S. How horrible! I can't believe he has even been in a wheelchair. He sang pretty well, great confidence of course, looks like a pro. Could this be his shot at fame? Rumor has it he is in the top 50 or something. Having the name Osmond on the show definitely can't hurt the ratings. I'm sure he'll do great.

The chic with the tattoos. Now this should be interesting. She's from my actual hometown, Sandy, so shout out there, and she has a very unusual style. Simon really liked her and how she was unique and knew who she was. Can't remember her name but it was a weird last name. I bet she'll go far because the judges like to have a wide variety in the top 12. The polynesian girl from Hurricane,, pronounced Hur-i-cun, was pretty good too. What the? There's no way she's 16, check the birth certificate, she looked 35 to me. Very pretty voice.

The Class President of Riverton is just your all American boy with spiky hair. If he makes it in the top crew he'll be needing some help with the image. But, he did have an interesting voice and strong confidence. Lastly, I will discuss the blonde hippie child. She's been through a lot with the death of both her parents, she's very cute, and she has an interesting style. Not the best vocals, but something is interesting about her. I never thought Brooke White from last year had the bestest vocals either, but there was some serious soul to her. So we shall see how the troops hold up in Hollywood when the real pressure starts cooking the amateurs. Tomorrow is New York and another city - can't remember now, so chat with you all tomorrow.

And in closing, please remember the famous quote by the sports broadcaster in his opinions of Utah's loud and crazy Jazz fans........"Let's be honest. They're Mormon. And they're in Salt Lake. And there's nothing else there," he said. "You've got to smile and be happy all the time. This might be one opportunity for fans to get vicious."

I love it!
