Dammmmmnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!  Can we just FF to Hollyweird week?  After seeing the extended promo at the end of tonight’s show – I’m all pumped up and ready to see the DR-AHH-MMM-AAAHHH!

Tonight’s episode was more of the same …. really bad performances,  sappy and emotional back stories, and a sprinkling of truly talented people.  We saw the first of the “Ringers” enter the game … Jason Castro’s brother Michael … AND we saw the first two Willo picks for the Top 25!

Here’s a list of those who made it through to Hollyweird that we were shown:

• Ashley Anderson
• Casey Carlson
• Von Smith
• Michael Castro – RINGER
• Matt Breitzke – wins the teddy bear of the year award
• Jessica Furney – really great Janice Joplin rendition.  I loved her – cute kid.
• India Morrison
• Jamar Rogers – sort of reminds me of that guy … from that band .. from way back when.  You know?
• Danny Gokey – OMG – loved him!  And I’m not saying that just because he’s a widower .. I truly loved his voice. I have a smiley face and three stars beside his name .. and that was BEFORE the judges said they loved him.
• Anoop Desai – I loved the geeky look and think he should keep it!
• Asa Barnes – I’ve got to give props to the Band Director – I hope he makes it to top 50
• Dennis Brigham – lol – funny but not Hollyweird worthy in my opinion
• Lil Rounds – fantastic throw back vocals – she gets my #2 pick for Top 25.

AND I’m probably going to regret this one .. but there is very little information on Danny Gokey online.  I found his wifes Bebo Page complete with photos of the happy couple:  Purple Sophie
