American Idol 1/19-1/20

Oompa Loompa look at her and say “Damn, she’s fugly!”.

I hate that she’s getting any recognition as supposedly representing Jersey in any way.

I wish a melismatic audition meant automatic disqualification.

Damn, Steve can make anything feel just that slightly sleazy. I like that.

Brett looks like a gay Geddy Lee.

I think Steve has got the attitude just right. It was funny at times to hear Simon be Nasty, but a judge is also supposed to be honest and give good critiques. Tyler comes across very likeable.

I liked Fay Ginger. And what did Steve mean by “I use braaaak. It says it on the bottle.”? And J-Lo? She’s really, really pretty isn’t she?

Now if FOX could replace Randy with Neil Patrick Harris, I think they’d have a hit on their hands.

He had me at the hair.

She really is. I keep picturing her saying things like, “Hola, lovers,” though, because of those damned Fug Girls. :smiley:

YEAH, BABY!

So far I’ve liked Sexy Librarian girl and Carrot Top. And if there’s a male form of butterface, the Cuban guy would have been it.

When this fat kid hits puberty, his voice will change and it will suck. I had a gorgeous voice like that when I was a kid, and puberty ruined it.

Two episodes in, and I’m liking the slightly raunchier, bleep-heavy new Idol. And not missing Simon at all. Steven Tyler is hilarious, with great constructive criticism and just the right amount of insanity.

That last sob story didn’t have me sobbing. The voice did though. Awful. What did J-Lo hear that I missed?

Can I move to include sob-story single moms in that, too? I hate that shit more every year.

How about people who cry and say it’s their “dream.” If it’s your dream to be on American Idol, you’re a pretty shallow person.

It’s just another symptom of the narcissism epidemic; the American Idol stage plays perfectly into modern youth and the ideas they’ve been raised with that they’re all special and they all deserve to be rich and famous.

So, am I alone in the opinion that Brett is a fucking awful singer?

I’m hearing “taco-flavored kisses” from that episode of South Park.

It’s funny that all the contestants are weak in the knees about Jennifer, not so much Steven. I’m old, so I think he’s a big star, but I don’t really know anything about Jennifer. I’m told she has a large and highly-rated butt.

Her face was unfortunate, but unlike most AI tryouts, she had white teeth. She was a little heavy, but her body looked nice.

Every damn time I watch AI, I am shocked by how many people walk around with yellow teeth.

I loved Steven’s You looking down, boy? I see you looking down! comment about her.

Does anybody know the name of the song playing in the background when Cuban purple shirt guy was on?

I liked Chubby Bieber. I would have liked Special Needs Kid’s mom more without the sob story.

I liked young Carrot Top too.

Brett…Brett…ah, Brett Loewenstern, Simply Red II. His singing didn’t stand out in my memory, that’s for sure. Listening again - well, I didn’t hate his singing. He has some potential to irritate me with his mannerisms, though.
