Brandon 'n' Brian Go to H-Wood

So far, the judges' fave is Brandon Rogers, a soft-voiced fellow with a bit of gruff in the voice somewhere. Simon made us fall out of our chair when he said that of all the auditions today, Brandon's was the best, adding that the kid's got likeability and a chance at the finals. OK, but he wasn't the best -- unless you happen to be auiditoning in L.A. that day.

Back again this season is Brian Miller, who got the ax last year in H-Wood. Simon, apparently trying out for an "Out in Hollywood" mention, said Miller is nice looking with a nice voice - BUT completely, instantly forgettable. Randy, Paula, and Olivia Neutron Bomb shake their heads in disagreement with Cowell: "Yes!" they say, "We like him, we really like him." Then Brian tries to find out of he was better this time than last year, but Simon can't even remember him. But, like Brandon, Brian gets the E-Ticket to the next round.
