(13)
Because we know that business travel is important for your revenue growth--and a little sightseeing is imperative for your personal growth--ForbesWoman has compiled a list of what to see and do if you find yourself in one of America's top 26 business destinations for as little as 24 hours. You don't have time for trial and error, so we've taken out the guesswork. For newcomers to a city, we've pinpointed the main attractions you won't want to miss.

Maegan sings "To Make You Feel My Love." It's a just good, triple pretty, denim skirt-y performance. Kara had thought what Maegan's wearing meant this was a joke audition, but she loved it. The yeses come unanimously. While Ryan filches concessions and hangs with the cheerleaders, a very optimistic Vanessa Johnston and her purple zigzags break my television.

Vanessa will keep Simon up at night due to nightmares. The judges will unanimously remember Vanessa, who's smiling about her four no's. She's infectiously optimistic. Th...
