Cracking Up With Paula, Simon & Randy

Seattle was hysterical. Nick Zitzmann - you are incredible! The Bollywood twins - we're not trying to curry favor, but we dig ya the most.
Plenty of tears before bedtime, capped by Red, a scary biker-looking dude who summed it up by singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a childish falsetto, perfectly serious - and angry. Fantastic way to win an audition, you deeply disturbed red-haired guy-man-dude.
Simon sez: "It was like a 1-year-old singing it." Well, at least he WAS way cooler than Carrot Top.
Paula, Simon & Randy were cracking up and so were we here at "Idol" Central Command.
Day 2 was a scream! Great first week - with ratings through the roof.
Next Tuesday, the gang goes to Memphis.

Welcome back, "Idol."
