Please keep all sigpic free discussion of tonight's show on this thread until the West Coast stops trying to figure out which one(s) of tonight's contestants are deaf and praying to the deity of their choice that all people trying out for the show (and probably all the ones judging it too) are struck mute.

Well, usually in reality TV it makes a much better story to let hope live for at least a little while before you dash it on the rocks.

Montage of how the flat brings out the weird in people.

He was going to go into opera, but been out of music for two years.

Singing Aretha.

Oh dear. He left, or they locked him outside one night hoping he'd run off?

Simon says everything was wrong.

He sings some Josh Groben (sp?) when told not to sing at all.

It is a no and he doesn't hear what the judges hear at all.
