American Idol 2/2-3

“Hey Jude” girl is good, and doesn’t seem like a bitch.

There’s Avril with that STUPID cat hoodie again.

What kind of a tool sings “The Climb?” It is now impossible for me to have any respect for this kid. I hate that song. My daughter loves it. I had to buy her that shitty CD so I can listen to that shitty, amateurish song playing in her room all day. Fuck that song and anyone who sings it.

“I would be really into recycling and helping kids in Africa.”

That kind of stuff don’t write itself.

It’s really not a good idea to take heroin right before the audition.

Kids in Africa would shove that kid in a locker.

I don’t pay attention during sob stories, they’re so contrived it makes my teeth itch. That’s when I go to the bathroom or break up the cats or whatever, so I missed Jude’s story. But her tears seemed so authentic and not phonied up.

What song was pasty Farmer’s Tan girl singing? I think I almost recognized it but couldn’t quite grasp it. It was like she was almost singing.

Oh Christ, the Lord gave her mom a vision. :rolleyes:

Sounds like the Lord has a jerky sense of humor.

“God’s really an asshole when He’s drunk.”

Poor girl is not very good, for being saved for last.

What a dull and pointless episode.

I hate that affected, hoarse country singing style. She’ll probably win.

It was filler. They had an odd number of audition episodes and didn’t want to start the Hollywood rounds on a wednesday.

There’s absolutely nobody I find compelling at this point, and the backstories are becoming self-parody. Maybe sombody will emerge that’s remotely interesting, but I’m not hopeful. I don’t think Elvis or the Beatles is hiding in this bunch.

What a month-long nightmare the audition episodes have been. My motivation for watching the audition episodes in the first place is the chance of seeing a glimpse of the eventual winner (or say top five) in their very life-changing moment. But it seems like every year they focus less and less on the best and all the ones who get major face-time get cut in Hollywood.

I’m betting that the top 24 will emerge mostly from the blink-and-you’ll-miss-them millisecond audition montages (think Kris Allen) or have been as yet completely absent from the screen (think Jason Castro). This entire bunch of sob-stories and schtick will have been an utter waste of time.

I meant to thank you for calling out Kara and that eyes closed head shake shit that she does a few threads ago. I have now found it to be one of the most annoying things on TV.

Thanks again! :smack:

So I was at least somewhat on the right track?

By the way, a ton of these people are on the spoiler list of final 24.

This is the ep. where they show us the auditions of people who actually made it.

This year we saw A LOT more good people with a notable reduction of freaks. There are a few contestants I’m going to keep my eye out for. Aer-o-plane Girl, Neck Tattoo, Rogain Mom, Track Suit, Muscle Man. . …

And, sadly, no one for me to hate. Maybe The Crier will turn into the Sensitive Piano Playing Blond from a few seasons back. Or maybe Pedo from The Island of Orange will add something to her annoying color to spur me on.

Once the field gets narrowed down a bit I’m gonna have to study Cat Whisperer’s posts. You’re real good with the names. I’m gonna print them and use them as Monarch Notes.

Indeed it is. She has forcefully displaced Sarah Jessica Parker as the person I can’t figure out why others find her attractive. The montage when they showed her stick limbs moving… ick!

Thank you, thank you. I have my laptop going while I watch - I could pretend I remember all those names, but no. Sigh.

I haven’t seen anyone that knocked my socks off like David Cook. I remember seeing his interview - I don’t remember anyone else’s interview, from any year.

This one was the suck. I’m sorry I missed the one on Tu. night.
