Small Screen Scenes: American Idol, Atlanta Auditions

As you know, we love American Idol.  The second show of the season aired last night and the Atlanta auditions yielded two outstanding people that happen to be great singers too:
*Vanessa, from the little town in Tennessee.  We look forward to seeing her come into her own!
*Brian, the 25 year old Police Officer
As guest judges are rotated in during the auditions, Mary J. Blige joined Simon, Randy and Kara last night.  Although Mary is obviously talented herself, she burst out laughing at one contestant that admittedly was not a great singer and was not able to regain her composure during this poor boy's audition.    We think it's important for the judges to be honest with the contestants but a certain degree of respect is necessary: we preferred Posh's (Victoria Beckham) positivity the previous night in Boston.   We are sure it isn't easy to sing in front of the judges!
