I think Cat only does a Brits point of view. Personally I don't think the bits with Cat actually work very well. She seems to come out with pointeless trivia about the city they're in.

There are always better singers on AI than on X factor - except leona.

The best bit was the guy singing Bohemian Rhapsody and the judges just cracked up.

Joss Stone turns down 'American Idol'
Sunday, January 28 2007, 11:58 GMT

By Daniel Kilkelly

Joss Stone has revealed that she turned down an offer to appear as a guest judge on American Idol.

The 19-year-old singer was invited on to the show by Simon Cowell but refused because she is opposed to the "cruel" nature of TV talent searches.

"I find these shows far too cruel," Joss told The People. "Music should be allowed to develop naturally."

Stone's third album Introducing Joss Stone is released in March.

It's on ITV2 on Friday Night at 8:30.. then they repeat the first episode on ITV1 on Saturday in the afternoon sometime (this week it was 1:40pm) and they repeat the second episode on ITV1 on Sunday at around the same time. Then, I believe they repeat both episodes on Sunday Night on ITV2. lol.


This woman on this week's episode thought Simon was from France and when she was told he was British, she said "He should go back to British!"

[GiRTh]

Was Paula Abdul OK in this weeks episode or did she look 'under the influence' as usual.

[Siouxsie]

aye she is always on a high

[GiRTh]

I'm watching it now. She's off her head, as usual. It's all the giggling that give it away.

[Legend]

I want Perla's babies, the girl who was like Shakira. I love her.

I also liked the man who looked homeless. He was good.

Yay down to the top 24 so finally some proper performances.

Profiles are here: http://www.americanidol.com/contestants/season6/

[Chilltown]

Betters are putting their money on Chris Sligh on winning the whole damn thing.

[GiRTh]

I thought it was funny that the brother and sisters act Malakers, or something, he got through and she didn't when she was so confident she was the better singer.

[Noopie]

I can only remember 5 from the top 24 from the auditions Usually there's more.

I can't really say who I like and who I don't like untill they all sing next week then the competition will really start.

Michael Jackson has denied claims that he will be appearing on American Idol.

Recent reports claimed that the Thriller singer would join the show to mentor contestants before they performed some of his biggest hits in a special episode.

"There is absolutely no truth to the rumour that Michael Jackson is going to appear on American Idol," Jackson's representative Raymone Bain told Access Hollywood. "He has signed no agreements with anyone."

Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe also denied the claims: "It's not true. It's just not true. We won't be seeing him."

However, Lythgoe did promise fans that they could expect exciting news in the next few weeks, promising "the biggest thing to happen to Idol in five years".

Get rid of Leslie Hunt and put in Melinda Doolittle.

The men are the poorer group this year but I note you don't have Brandon in your top12.
