I think Simon let Formerly Fat Guy through so he doesn’t have to deal with a fan favorite Currently Fat Guy. Simon hates the fat ones.
Background chica was cute, but screechy. She at least knew something about phrasing and pacing but the forced tone, ick!
Deep voice guy sounded just like Fezzik from the Princess Bride.
Hey, a half an hour has passed and not one hottie?
I don’t know what to say about the darkest contestant with the biggest mother EVER!
Took 30 minutes before we got our first tears.
Oh there goes my hottie! John Legend’s voice makes me wanna stick my tongue down his throat.
Am I the only one who thought that the foreign guy was an act? He seemed a bit too Borat-ish.
“I want to love a woman from her…hair, down to her…nipples.”
At least that’s what it sounded like he said.
Grrrr…MrValley is at a conference and he dared to take his laptop with him! Idol is just not the same when you’re watching alone without internet chatter.
Yes, that’s what I heard, too. I giggled through the next two auditions. I have a soft spot for foreigners that use words wrong. It always manages to entertain.
Gather round, kiddies!
It’s poke the shiny retard time!
I hate this part.
Ok…have half of these people never seen this show before they auditioned or are they really this crazy?
Did Sparklie hear Simon’s crack about Wilhem Defoe? Because then I can understand the attitude. And I don’t think she was retarded. I think she was plain old dumb.
She was not
victorious. 
She’s pretty, she sings in a style I love and she has a real, true sob story. I hope she gets rid of that ‘ug ug’ thing she does.
The black girl with the brain damaged child, I mean.
I’m glad that the woman with the sick kid did not pimp her to the judges. She got through on her own merits. Did anyone else catch that her mother’s name was Latrina?
Ok. Usually I’m a big bitter cynic about teenage-moms-doing-it-for-my-kid stories. But Angela is just too cute and talented (her daughter’s cute too). There, I said it. Plus I want to be part of her family.
No I did not! Even more reason to hope she gets to the good part.
I think she’s delusional and encouraged by her mother. Most of the really nutso ones always bring their mom, who thinks that their child is the next great singer/dancer. As mentioned above, there was “Sex” and I seem to remember a particularly delusional child/parent combo from nearly every season-didn’t the psychic bring her mom, too?
The last girl was good, but I think she would have impressed the judges more with a different song. “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” didn’t fit her best, IMO.
Also, Glitter Girl did kinda look like Wilhem Defoe.
She did so pimp her kid. If she didn’t want to go there (to the boo hoo, I have a retarded baby, put me on TV place), she wouldn’t have brought it up or allowed the cameras to catch all her crying and sobbing. I say, don’t smoke crack and you won’t have crack babies. I found that whole sequence rather manipualtive and insulting. I think I’ve just run out of patience with the backstories in general. That should have nothing to do with the show. I’m certainly not going to root for someone just because she’s not responsible enough to use birth control.
I really haven’t liked anybody yet. For some reason I’m finding this round more annoying than I have in the past…maybe just because we’ve seen it all before. There’s no mystery to any of the auditions. If they’re goofy looking or have an accent, they suck. If they’re good looking or have a sob story, they can sing.
How long before No Sex Allowed is released and it sweeps the internet by storm?
