An audition so controversial the judges walk...

I missed the show last night and haven't watched the tape yet. So which audition was so controversial and why did the judges walk out?

The audition was twins and Paula and Randy both agreed that they should advance to Hollywood. Gene and Simon both said no. Paula and Randy got up and left. Paula was very upset with Simon.

There were two twins at the end. I can't remember their names. Anyway, they purposely did not dress alike, wanted to be individuals. They were put together to audition. They sang a Boys2Men song.

Randy: Yes
Gene: No, sing something more grown up.
Paula: Yes, you can sing to me all night long.
Simon: No.

Then there was some discussion about them singing together or individual. I can't remember the specifics. I think Simon at that point agreed to judge them as individuals. They did a re-vote and Gene and Simon still said no. I think Paula said no to one of the individuals. So Randy and Paula got mad about that and left.

Apparently one of the twins shows up alone in Vegas.

I saw it while I was cleaning the classroom, so I'm not sure of everything that happened. Perhaps someone else can fill in.

ETA: I wasn't wild about either of them, but I do tend to think along the lines of Simon.

I thought they were pretty good. There was another pair of twins that both were allowed to go to Hollywood. I did not think they should be going.

Gene was very tough on the auditioners which is probably why only 16 people moved on from this audition. Also they needed 3 out of four to move on rather than the two out of three from the last audition in St. Louis.

The guest judge from Sugar Ray in Washington DC was also, very non-critical and 40 moved on from there.

Righy sammy, they sang alone and Paula said no to one and yes to the other but Simon and Gene both still said no.

Last nite the one she said yes too returned alone in Las Vegas and Kenny Loggins agreed that he should go to Hollywood. Simon, of course, said no still. So the one is going and maybe the other one shows up alone in San Fran or Cleveland next week. I do not think there is a guest judge in SF so if the one goes, he will have to convince Paula to vote for him either way. Whether LL Cool J will like him, I couldn't even guess that.

I do like their choices of guest judges this year. Gene was a bit hard (sort of like Quentin) but I do not think he was sooooo wrong in any of his assessments
