Actually, mcmaenza, it was little ol' me that was upset about the cutting of Kyle. I agree with you that, although he would probably have been an early vote out, you never know and he deserved a chance at least.

As for that girl that is already signed, I have never heard of that before now on this show. I have heard of signings in the middle of the show but never someone who was signed before they even auditioned.

As for the singing nurse...I think we might be surprised. I think she's smart enough to know what this competition is and that she would have to be somewhat versatile to get far. And if they DO have a Manilow night this year, she might be able to create a kick-ass version of "Could It Be Magic", don't you think?
