Nothing warms my heart more than seeing teenagers cry after watching their singing career crushed in less than five minutes. I can't wait for the first American Idol suicide...
actually, half the auditions you see, the "singers" aren't even in front of Simon and the rest of the judges. it's just been edited to look that way. next time, pay attention to how many times you actually see the performance and the judges AT THE SAME TIME. it's not that often.
The toughest one for me was the black girl who wore the tie. When she forgot her lines, then started shaking, and then proceded to butcher the entire song I had to turn away a few times. What the hell was she doing up there? That was painful, but I laughed my ass off.
Yeah and that seemed to go on forever. I always like to watch the first part of the show, the auditions after that it's just crap as far as I'm concerned
Last night was not that good and it was in Minneapolis, my city. I'm sorry to call Minneapolis my city. Like Randy says, Minni-hopeless.
Yeah, some of the auditions go on way longer than they need to. You know they're just letting them go on because it's funnier that way.
After William Hung, there are many people that go to the Idol auditions just to get a chance to get on TV as a reject. They are having to get more and more creative. I thought the Amish guy that claimed to have never seen the show was creative to get on TV. There were a few people that came on that I wasn't sure whether or not they were being delusional, but I feel sorry laughing at some of these people that I think are "special". I guess that I'm one of the few people on here that actually looks forward to the singing competition. Unfortunately there haven't been many that got through.
Are you talking about that mound with the super blonde wig like hair? That chick and her mom were a family tree of freaky-ness
My wife is a big fan so we watched it last night. I like these early ones because of the unbelievably horrid singers like the nerd that tried to sing "Unchained Melody". But I told her that I think that a lot of these people get on there on purpose knowing they are going to look like idiots because they want to become the next William Hung...shakes his fist and curses aforementioned novelty act's name
I was at the San Antonio audition, and they had plenty of people like that. However, not everyone of them makes it, they'd have to be VERY bad. I saw an Indian kid that tried to sing in an Indian accent, but when he talked, he sounded like he was native born. He wasn't bad enough though, he didn't even make the first cut.
Those 2 were straight out of the movie Slingblade. Remember the girl that Karl Childers (Billy Bob Thornton) took a walk with after they had dinner?
Agreed...I saw part of this last night at the gym...Seatlle's finest...LOL... But you know what, at least they gave it a shot...You can't take that from them...
http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2007/01/rosie_takes_on_american_idol_j.html Rosie Takes on 'American Idol' Judges On Thursday morning’s “The View,” Rosie O’Donnell dropped a bomb on “American Idol” and attacked America’s three favorite judges. “If you keep serving people crap, they’re eventually going to think it’s a meal,” Rosie touted. “Three millionaires… one probably intoxicated. So sad.” Rosie’s new war came the morning after an incredible 32 million people tuned in as Simon, Randy and Paula struggled in Seattle, taking aim at wannabes like Kenneth Briggs. “You look like one of those creatures in the jungle with those massive eyes, what are they called? Bush baby,” Simon told the “Idol” hopeful. “To make fun of someone’s physical appearance, is this what America thinks is entertainment?” Rosie challenged. Only “Extra” had a backstage “View” pass with Thursday’s guest host, “Idol’s” season five sweetheart Kellie Pickler, who found herself caught in the “A.I.” crossfire. Kellie came to the judges’ defense, insisting, “We all knew when we got in line for ‘American Idol’ there was a chance we could be embarrassed on national TV and humiliate ourselves; we knew that.” Meanwhile, as Rosie ripped apart the “Idol” judges, you better believe that Donald Trump wanted in on the action too, and “Extra” has it! “She shouldn’t be going after Simon, and she shouldn’t be going after anybody,” The Donald said. “Rosie is a mess.” While Rosie targets the “Idol” judges, it seems Paula and Ryan are involved in a war of their own. On Ryan’s L.A. radio show, Paula attacked Ryan for not defending her behavior when he appeared on “The Tonight Show.” “Look, I don’t look in their cups to see what’s sitting before them on that table,” Ryan told Jay Leno. Paula attacked Ryan on the Los Angeles airwaves, as she inquired about his sit down with Leno. “You know darn well there’s nothing in any of our Coca-Cola cups, and you know darn well I’ve never gone out drinking,” she snapped. “I really feel like I try to keep the peace with you,” he then told Paula, who accepted his apology, saying, “I love you.” But how long will the “Idol” love last? Tune in to “American Idol” every week to find out!
