I fell asleep and missed the first 15 minutes of the fourth episode.
The fourth episode featured auditions in Nashville. There is talk from one of the judges that the best singer in this season could be in this episode - the 15 year old Lauren Alaina. There is also a touching story behind her singing. Her cousin, Holly who was suffering from a brain tumour, inspired her to sing. Here is the video of it.
Funniest audition for that episode was probably Latoya Moore' s one. I remembered there was a Latoya some time back in Idol who could really sing. Here is the video of it.

American Idol 10
I was surprised in the third episode that J- Lo said no to the 15 year old girl called Emma. However I still think American Idol is probably the best thing J-Lo has ever done since the movie Selena.
I thought the funniest audition was the person dressed as a soldier in 19th century America - Nathaniel Jones. The person after him Mason Wilkinson is also quite funny as well. Here is the video of it.
In this episode, I was most impressed by the singing of Steve Beghun - the big goon as he would joke about his surname. Here is the video of it.

American Idol 10
The second episode featured contestants from New Orleans. Funniest audition was by Gabriel Franks. Here is the video of it. He is meant to be a Steven Tyler lookalike but actually looks more like Mick Jagger in a comical way.
There is now a bit of controversy surrounding Paris Tassin - that she is not really a single mother of a special needs child - that she is actually married. Anyway as the story in the show goes, she was pregnant at 18 and not ready for it. The doctor told her that the child was not normal and probably would not survive so she was advised not to have it. However she decided to have the child and turned out to be the best thing she ever had. Here is the video of it.

American Idol 10
Watched the first episode of this season yesterday. Funniest audition was by Yoji "Pop" Asano. You can watch the video here.
As far as I know Oriental men have never done very well in the competition. The women have fared better with Jasmine Trias coming third.
Best singer was Robbie Rosen with his cover of "Yesterday". Here is the video of it

Football World Cup 2010: Second Round
Tonight's match between England and Germany would be an interesting one. Even if England were to win against Germany, they may have problems against Argentina the team they could be facing in the quarterfinals. Argentina seems to have improved since the qualifying events and together with Portugal, their chances of winning the Cup are better now. It seems like Argentina and Portugal are the fourth and fifth favourites to win this World Cup after France, England and Brazil.
What a pity France just could not get their act together. With England struggling to score goals and Argentina almost peaking for this tournament, a tough encounter for England in the quarterfinals is on the cards if they do make it to that stage.
