There's a lot of talent this year, and it all showed up finally in Hollywood. 

I can't even come up with a top 5, there are too many: Julia, Cyniah, Amber, Sophia, Dillon, Maggie May's boyfriend, Arthur, Francisco, Kimmy, Robert, Jovan, Louis, Just Sam. Probably forgot a few at that. Also many really good song choices, although I had to give Amber the evil eye for doing 'Rise Up'.

That yellow and white polka dot bouffant dress Katie had on was hideous.

Tunefind.com is an amazing website to help us find the songs on the show.

I liked Katy's outfit, but I'm weird like that 🙂

Just Sam did it for me. Amazing song choice, gut-wrenching delivery. I'd never heard the song before but I was crying by the time she was done. Now I'm listening to Hearts Ain't Gonna Lie on replay while I work. 

Jovin Webb is a favorite of mine, along with the blonde woman who sang Over You. So much talent - I really enjoyed everyone. We're going to have hard time paring down with this level of talent.

I love Francisco. I liked him in his first audition and I still like him. Super talented, good looking, seems sweet and humble - I think he'll go far. Robert Taylor III, I think he is? Was very good, as was the bluesy guy with the blond dreads (eta: oh! That's Jovin!)

Of the women, I thought Julia Gargano was good, I like Sophia Wackerman, especially her speaking voice, but best of the night for me was the woman with long, blond, wavy hair whose name I can't remember. I think she wore a sunflower dress? Or pants? at her audition.  Her voice reminds me of Adele. It is NOT Hannah Prestridge. I think she sang soul. ETA: found her on AI Youtube! Shannon Gibbons.

Poor Doug the sanitation worker. He was so bad. In way over his head. I felt bad for him.

That was not too bad.  I liked a lot of people who got through, except for the guy who oversang Natural Woman and a couple of the R&B women.  And I did really like Amber and Sophia Wackerman - I was very impressed with both their voices.  I also enjoyed Just Sam's voice, although the dumb name has to go.

Yeah, there might be some talent in there, but it was not on display in Hollywood.
