They really should just call this show ā€œForeign and/or Effeminate People Singing Badlyā€. ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > Maybe this is what has the gay and lesbians up in arms? This particular season it seems that if you insult _any_ male singer you have at least about a 3 in 5 chance of it being a gay guy. This is the gayest Idol ever I do believe. Did you notice the guy saying his voice coach trained ā€œanother girlā€ as well? ---

BTW, while I definitely wouldnā€™t have voted to take the Clayette to Hollywood and while he definitely picked the wrong song, I really didnā€™t think he was as terrible as Simonā€™s review. I thought Cher-boy was absolutely godawful- I didnā€™t think he sounded like Cher or even a bad drag review of Cher (and Iā€™m not a big Cher fan even). ---

Clay-ette is an example of how just being able to hear/carry a note doesnā€™t equal anything resembling listenable music, eh? And he provided the biggest laugh at my house with the ā€œOh, I can sing, Iā€™m just nervous as hell and I gotta pee!ā€ And they Let him? And they _followed_ him running to the john? With theme music and a urinal shot?! And I **know** Iā€™m not the only one who was glad they showed him washing his hands, right? That frickinā€™ slayed me! šŸ˜ƒ The good news is Baby Buzz-hawk can grow his hair out, heā€™s the anti-thug to make up for last yearā€™s Scott. I seriously disliked the chunky highlights on Rehab-girl from the old folks home, but I thought she had a perfectly likable voice, kinda disappointing. This just in: chunky girls should not, repeat NOT, wear shrugs. No one looks good in a boob cozy. _shudder_ ---

Man, the whole first half of this thing was the Boston Baked Suck. There were a few good ones later, but not nearly as strong overall as some others. Azerbaijani girl with the carnation in her hair looked and sounded like she was drunk off her ass. ---

The only city with any talent this year was Greensboro. At least, from what we were shown. ---

Now that auditions are finally over I can say that my favorite part was when the girl who had been turned down was bitching about the no talents that were getting golden tickets and the other girl burst out the door, happily waving her ticket. That was funny enough but then ticket girl challenges bitching girl to sing something and bitchy girl actually had a decent voice. To which ticket girl answers by waving the ticket in bitchy girlā€™s face. Yeah, that was hilarious to me because Iā€™m mean. ---

That was great, **Biggirl**. Though that girl kinda did have a point. Iā€™ve seen them put plenty of other people through (last nightā€™s twin, for instance) who couldnā€™t sing as well as that girl could. How the other girl handled the situation was hilarious though. Last night was a snoozefest. I am so excited for tonight. I love Hollywood and love the nervous breakdowns. (Iā€™m so evil.) Mostly I love it because the people who walked into the auditions saying ā€œIā€™m the next American Idolā€ and who were so confident get put in their place. Good times. Does anyone know how many Hollywood episodes will air, and when the final 24 will begin? ---
