"I feel as though it's mine....In some way" Simon Cowell said after "American Idol" auditioner, Oliver Heimen, presented his wife and newborn baby to the panel of judges tonight on "American Idol" Season 7. Heimen was supposed to be the first to audition on day one, in Charleston, South Carolina, but his wife's water broke and he had to transport her to the hospital. He returned the next day as a new father of baby girl, Emma Grace. As sweet as it was his singing fell a bit flat and they left without a golden ticket....Think sexy Simon would be willing to take on some Godfather responsibilities?Over 10,000 people turned out for the auditions in South Carolina and a total of only twenty-three lucky people are on their way to Hollywood. Amy Kathryn Flynn, 16 was one of the golden ticket grabbers. I got quite the kick when she described to the judges how she talks to other teens about abstinence. It went something like this..."and then I'm like....if your like....don't do that cause like." I think you get my point.
My pick for tonight's show is actually someone who did not get a golden ticket. Lyndsay Goodman, a pilot in the Airforce where she flies the C-17, sang a sweet rendition of "Black Velvet". Paula said she was too nervous and not ready yet, Simon and Randy agreed. I thought she sang beautifully and effortlessly, she just needed to show more emotion in her body language. I have heard a lot worse walk away with golden tickets. I was unhappy with their decision on this one. Now I know why they never show us the singers who are good but not great. They only exploit the ones that are really, really, bad.

That's an interesting point...it's cruel but I think otherwise it would be a very boring show!
