Post-AI Post

Well, I must say that I am pleased with the way Alabama was presented. And I love that the first gal was from Auburn :)

I think those judges had more fun here than anywhere else they've been. Good ol' Southern Hospitality paid off! And I think the "thank you" bit was awesome!

Yes, I know that there were probably more golden tickets given for non-Bama folks than Bama folks but it's cool to know that if any of them actually succeed in this competition that there will always be a connection to our great state.

I REALLY liked the Jack Black Osborne dude by the way. He was great!

An answer to my confusion about the judges of AI being in Birmingham...

Thanks to Crystal at http://pinklucy.blogspot.com for clarifying (Crystal was actually AT the auditions! Cool, eh?)

Here's her explanation:
The first round of auditions were in August at the BJCC. It's were people audition in front of the producers. If you go back to my August Archive I have pictures of that. It's also where all the crowd footage was shoot.
The people that made it through that round, then come back for the 2nd set of Auditions & those are the ones where Simon, Paula & Randy are. Those took place on 2 days in Sept at the Hotel next door to the BJCC. From those auditons, they go to the Hollywood Round & so forth. Ryan was the only one that was there for the first set of Auditions & he wasn't there for very long, he shot his footage & left.

I agree... I like the Osborne guy. We may actually watch this year. We usually just watch the auditions. We'll see :)
