It was a real snooze last night. I wasn't really impressed with anyone who made it through, either. Just sort of a blah night.

I can't believe how many people show up without ever having a vocal lesson. They're horrible!

I thought the gray haired guy looked like he had turrets and should not have made it. On the other hand I can't believe the gondolier from the Venetian hotel didn't make it. I thought he had the voice of an angel! Other than that it was pretty boring last night. I didn't think those twins were so bad either. I felt sorry for them though - it seemed like their dad was going to be more upset with them for not getting through and that's why they were crying.

I think a lot of the people who say they think they can sing don't really believe it. They are simply there for their 10 seconds of fame and national TV exposure. Sadly though there are some terrible ones who really think they are great. How is that possible? Don't they hear themselves?

I agree with you. I guess they just weren't in the mood to put too many people through that day.

Is it just me or is Paula's face looking very "pulled back" recently?

Their harmony was right on and that isn't easy to do. I was surprised that they weren't given any credit for it. They were rather wooden though and that is not right for the competition. I think they deserved props for the harmony though. I also thought the gondoleir was good. He had an image issue though, he looked like he grabbed some clothes off of the floor and just showed up! Also, I think Paula may have forgotten to take her meds, she seemed uncharactaristically cruel last night.

On Edit: I liked turrets guy, he's like Joe Cocker. I had to look away from him to fully enjoy his voice at times. It really is a great sound, soulful.

Well, that big guy did not sing a single note in tune and insisted he did.

It was really bizarre! Then the woman who was like, "I'm conceited and I am excellent." I knew she was going to stink. She actually apologized to Simon for disappointing him! Maybe she did know, deep down, that she really stinks.

Livia · #**159** 02-01-2006, 05:49 PM

Yep, Joe Cocker!

AUSTIN TONIGHT!! Woot!

skcin · #**160** 02-02-2006, 11:01 AM

^ Well, Austin sure sucked. Thanks, Livia!

Livia · #**161** 02-02-2006, 12:34 PM

Hee-hee. Actually, about 30 people from the Austin auditions made it to Hollywood. Of course, it's more entertaining to show the ones who sucked. I, however, was kinda relieved that no one embarrassed our city too much. No "Wives of the Incredible Hulk" here. Those zombies were funny.

I kept laughing over the continuity editing - As you know, Simon, Paula and Randy don't appear at the cattle call audition. The Erwin Center is that big, drum-shaped building they showed at the beginning. Simon, et al, were at the Convention Center, or the new Hilton.

JazmenFlowers · #**162** 02-02-2006, 12:45 PM

I was pissed at the guy who couldn't figure out why he would be a good American Idol...they never even showed an audition...did he even audition...we don't know cause they never said...they strung us along for like 30 mins and then left us hanging...

DavidMn · #**163** 02-02-2006, 09:43 PM

Next up Boston. Josh, I'm sure you'll do us proud here.

In general, I'm happy with the final group. I can't say I'm upset that someone didn't get in, and I'm thrilled that those cocky twins are officially out! I heard that one or both was in jail, but I wasn't sure.

Early faves - Taylor, that 16 year old kid with glasses, the bald rock guy, Paris, Lisa & Kelly Pickler. I am NOT a fan of that annoying broad who was fighting with the other girl - the one who Simon said could be difficult. Annoying, she is.

I was laughing my ass off when the girl walked in (the one Simon had made fun of her weight) and gave it to Simon so eloquently and matter-of-fact. She's better than I am.
