'American Idol' is doing their annual mix-and-match audition show, start with 'Pants on the Ground' again; with Ryan claiming to be surprised by "how influential it turned out to be." Uh, not sure 'influential' is quite the right word.

Jessica Furney sings a song Simon co-wrote, "Footprints in the Sand," she's not bad, makes the most of the maudlin lyrics. She gets four yeses on her second time on the show; she's not bad, but don't think she'll make it out of the Hollywood round.

Hmm, and that's it, time to go to commercial (I think their formula is 50% show, 50% commercial).
