I really like her so far!

[JoesPlace]

I updated the list.

The secon round for Louisville is: Sept. 4-8 at Churchill Downs . about 200 made it through the first round

[Heartofsong83]

I really like her so far!

Let's wait a few months at least before we get fan threads and stuff going.

Someone should start a "can you spot the plants?" thread because I see a couple already......

I know. I find myself hoping for their failure. It's awful.

[King Julien]

You can hear Raquel Houghton's voice here:
http://www.myspace.com/thevalligirls

She is the vocalist of that band The Valli Girls and they have music up on their MySpace. Raquel's personal MySpace doesn't have music samples of her I think.

I wonder if 20 of the Top 24 will be plants this year.

Did he audition in Louisville or San Fran?

[SirMac]

I might have a breakthrough in spoilers this year. I happen to know that a TON of people who just got cut from the HSM show are auditioning. Most are auditioning in Jacksonville, it would appear.

[DDfanKC]

Did he audition in Louisville or San Fran?

Louisville

[*Karen*]

Michael and Carly were plants last season, and they were awesome.

Bring em on!

[Jess]

I love watching plants grow.

Just about the only one that wasnt a plant in last years top 12 was Cook. Go figure.

[SirMac]

LOL!

JP!!!

It's "Dru Hill" not "Drew Hill".

You're awesome.
