From what we have seen so far, we could field the top 12 girls with all long haired blondes and we have only seen 4 shows! We know the Carrie formula is big-time successful but I don't think the American public wants another Carrie. They like the one they have! But is it what 19E is looking for? What don't we have currently?
We have:
1. Long haired blonde country singer -Carrie Underwood
2. Bald male rocker - Chris Daughtry
3. Brown haired pop/country singer -Kelly Clarkson
4. Young curly haired female pop singer - Jordin Sparks
5. Chubby male R&B singer - Ruben Studdard
6. Curly haired male pop &r&b -Elliot Yamin
7. Blonde, male beatboxer - Blake Lewis
8. Bald easy-listening country singer - Phil Stacey
9. Cute, male bluegrass, gospel band ( I'm adding them because they are newly signed to 19 Recordings and will possibly compete with the top 12) - The Clark Brothers
We don't have:
a Natasha Bedingfield - Carly Hennesey Smithson???
a Chris Brown -David Archuleta / ????
a James Morrison- Michael Lee Johns? He has an accent but is more rocker although sang Otis Redding very well.
a female rocker - ?????
What will we get? We shall see when the top 24 are officially announced!
Highlights of San Diego:
Tetiana - Another long haired blonde!
Perrie from Arizona sang Boyz to Men's "I'll Make Love to You!" - Golden Ticket! Great sound, beautiful little boy, wife passed away in a tragic incident. His interaction with his son was precious!
Michael Johns, sang an Otis Redding song. RPS loved him, Randy saying a hundred million percent through! An Australian who is now living in LA.
Samantha Musa, fab, fab, fab! WOW! I think she has bounced to the top of my girl list! Bonus, she has dark hair!
Alberto, who I can only describe as a depressed eagle with long flowing tresses, complete with talons, never took off until he left the building. Strange!
David Archuleta, sang "Waiting on the World to Change." No mention that he won Star Search, only that he had vocal paralysis. He sang pretty good but forgot some words! He will become a bigger star on this show than when he was on Star Search. He will be in the top 24 and the top 10. I wonder if they will show his video of him singing for Kelly Clarkson when he was 12.
Carly Hennessy-Smithson, Irish Girl, hyped to the max, didn't sound as well as Samantha! She has tremendous controversy surrounding her already. Will she live up to the hype?
Charleston
Two words: Very Boring!
Shoot, another blonde got through again - this one's name is London.
I wasn't impressed with anyone. I feel like Simon OMG! Are there not GREAT singers in Charleston? RPS let through a few - is there a quota to fill, because "Dawg, I just wasn't feeling it!"

Astute observation Rhonda!
This young lady, Laura Minadeo, tried out in Philadelphia.
She complained that the long haired blondes were being ushered to the head of the line, ahead of others who'd waited hours in the hot sun.
She only made it as far as the producers and was told "We like your voice, but not your look."
BTW - She's a student at the Berkley School of Music in Boston.

Hey ChatBrat Who Are You And How Do You Know Little Ol Me?
Hi Laura
I'm Bonnie's sister, Lori. She told me about your tryout.
You just added me as a friend on your MySpace.
I hope you'll try out next year.
