I thought the two boys they skimmed over quickly and made it through were both really good. I’m always a little disappointed when don’t spend much time on the good singers, but I understand their time constraints. And it would be too boring only to listen to an long line of good to great singers.
The rude boy was rude. Yes, the questions are inane, but the first rule of the entertainment industry is kiss-up to whoever you need to. (The second is look good and the third is have talent. IMHO ) I’m sure he was tired of waiting around all day, but guess what? The judges have just spent the day listening to wanna-be after wanna-be, with an occasional diamond in the rough. Long days are normal; you have to be able to handle it. I have no sympathy. (As to how much it was staged, I don’t really care.)
I thought it was hilarious when after they voted down the waitress (who would probably be a good singer with practice staying in tune), as she left the room, the women judges were talking about her singing and the men were watching her rear.
I’ll just remind all y’all that Kara is the most fragile human being in all of entertainment - she does indeed have talent (she can sing and write songs), but she’s an emotional cripple.
I loved the guy from the boat (Codzilla?) asking Kara out (and saying later he’s pretty sure he has a date with her). Hee!
I’m going to keep my eye on Drummer Boy, too - he’s a greasy, long-haired freak, but when he starts singing, something sparks up.
I also liked Receptionist Girl - was she the one singing “Ding Dong The Witch is Dead”?
From some googling, it looks like Andrew “The Rude Guy” Fenlon sometimes appears in musical venues with a guy calling himself MC Trashpedal. Which is what my friend and I basically figured, that he’s some local hipster who wanted to get on tv for kicks. He sounded to us like someone who can sing but was trying hard to be weird about it.
It did crack us up with the two female judges wanted to spank him and got all flustered. If that wasn’t a “I hate you and yet want to have crazy monkey sex with you” reaction, I’ll eat my hat.
And how about that lesson in editing? For the commercial break the tag was “. . . and Boston turns on Simon!” and a clip of a contestant shouting, “Shut up, Simon!” But the actual contestant was a mild-mannered kiss-up.
Bridge jumping girl doesn’t have the best voice, but she’s the most interesting singer I’ve seen so far tonight. And I don’t even like country. I guess I hate the generic pop women more.
Oh please, oh please don’t play the retarded bumpkin, Country Girl. I don’t like country but I can appreciate a good country song. Naive is fine, intentional stupidity makes me really fucking angry (Kellie, I’m looking at you).
