Top 12 Guys: Jun Bug Gets Us Started

Here it is. The first performance show of the season. WOO-HOO!

Let’s do this thing…

THIS is “American Idol”!!!

So Ryan just explained it to us. We will choose ten—five tonight, five tomorrow—and then the judges will choose. Like I said, I think the number of wild cards will depend on who gets voted in…

As Ryan talks to the judges, the audience clearly loves Steven. Ryan gives him an “Idol” logo to cover his mouth if he curses and then Ryan curses. It’s a new world, ladies and gentlemen. But remember this show was taped Friday, so if there are any problems, they’ll all be gone…

Let’s get it started as the contestants sing whatever song they want. Uh-oh…

Clint Jun Gamboa, “Superstitious”: 17
I thought it was appropriate that the karaoke host gave a somewhat karaoke performance. I thought it was a mediocre song choice, but he sounded good—what I could hear over the band. I guess the new band is going to pick up right where the old one left off…

We’re off to a pretty good start…
