PUBLIC MARKS from vacelts with tags "Kristy Lee Cook" & auditions

Tonight I got my first exposure to American Idol’s Hollywood Week, or as Ryan Seacrest called it - Hell Week. And I quickly learned which things will knock you out of the running for the Top 24. Here is the Top 5 Things Not to Do During Hollywood Week if you hope to advance.

I watched American Idol for the very first time last year. I didn’t start watching until it was down to the final 24. So tonight was my first glimpse at the auditions. I had no idea what I was in for. Tonight had to be two of the most painful hours of television I’ve ever watched. I’m not saying that there weren’t some talented people that showed up for auditions in Philadelphia. There were several in fact and I’m looking forward to watching them in Hollywood. But it’s going to be a long road to Hollywood.
