American Idol 1/23

He sounds exactly like a girl! Exactly!

(I missed the first 50 minutes–who was on that flunked out of So You Think You Can Dance?)

Also, what is it with all these people who sing through their noses???

Here goes Simon with the drag queen jokes again.

I knew Simon’s Midols would run out sooner or later.

Ah, yes, one of Sinatra’s lesser-known classics, New Yor, New Yor.

Indeed. A co-worker of mine auditioned in New York (East Rutherford, NJ, to be exact, but if the Giants and Jets consider it New Yor…I mean New York, then AI can, too). She did not sing in front of the judges but in front of other people. I believe it is the producers who decide who sings in front of the judges- some good people, some bad people for humor’s sake.

I thought she was really good and interesting. She’s different. Simon needs to stifle his impulse to put her in a box and just let her be versatile.

Is it wrong that I like opera-girl?

If she can calm the hell down, she might have something. I believe her when she says she can sing anything.

I agree. I think she was unique but in a good way.

"Umm…

Is that the wrong Lionel Richie song?"

Laugh of the night.

I don’t remember this guy at all.

Which guy? I wish you guys would say who you are talking about when you make comments >:(

The guy who was singing! You know-- him.

Yeah, were all slacking in the make-up-a-silly-yet-descriptive-name department.

That lady was absolutely ON something. (final audition)

Carol Bayer-Sager is the Joans! Why didn’t any of you tell me?

Because we couldn’t remember her name. She was just the weird Joan Collins looking woman.

You know- the one who’s always standing and walking.

I was talking about the guy who supposedly quit last year. I have no memory of him whatsoever.

Ah. Me neither. Though that is probably because I didn’t watch last year. Or any year. This is my first year! (I have previously just watched the funnier auditions online).

But ya did, Blanche, ya did! :slight_smile:

Sounds like it’ll be worth setting the DVR for.

Rory Calhoun?
