Night One:
The first kid has quite a range. He sings both kinds of music - country AND western!
That kid had a good voice, but he’s way too country.
I’m realizing that I can tell if somebody’s going to able to sing just from hearing their speaking voice - or rather, I can tell if they won’t be able to sing.
I automatically get turned off of anyone who says “this is my dream.”
“True Colors” girl is mediocre at best.
Jesus, Randy, you fucking pussy. Simon never would have let that whiny bitch get through. Simon despised begging.
True Colors girl would have benefited from one or two years of “no”. If she worked at it, she’d be a great contestant at 17. Still, no one knows if Idol will be around in one or two years.
J-Lo was absolutely right about Cyndi Lauper. She’ll be cut Day One of Hollywood. At least they let them re-audition now–with a few more years of training, she’ll be much more prepared.
Dreadlocked girl is the best so far this season. Beautiful eyes, too.
I hope Concert Cleaner makes it to the make-over stage, just so I can see how she cleans up. But only if she stops all that crying.
I hope that guy doesn’t sing “Let’s Get It On” at bar mitzvahs.
I liked Let’s Get It On guy when I wasn’t looking at him. His movements threw me off.
This Thea girl has Eddie Vedder levels of mushmouth.
It’s not on here yet. Back later.
“He’s not a hippie! Hippies believe in SEX!”
I’m calling “autistic spectrum” on the Civil war reenactor.
Yeah, I was getting a real Shirvell vibe from him.
I’m so glad the Obama Lover can sing. Just because.
I actually kind of like Aimless White House Intern girl. A goofy giantess with a really interesting voice.
Harvard White House Intern girl is almost too perfect. Randy sounded like kind of an idiot, though, asking her “what’s been going on,” like going to Harvard and interning at the White House is a total waste of time for someone who’s attractive and can sing.
My guess is that if she makes it to the finals, she’ll be hurt by saying she’s “in love with” Obama, though. That alone will make her Satan to the teabbaggers.
Steven Tyler is cracking me up. Even with the worst singers, he keeps it together with a dead pan look of intense interest, like he is watching a cockroach crawl out of their nose.
