I’ve seen a bunch of teaser commercials so far…we have the wretched girl saying “Not too shabby” when asked how she thinks she did, and Simon making a horrible face. We have Paula doing a spit-take. We have a horrendous rendition of the National Anthem. We have three really sluttly looking girl doing pretty fair harmony on It’s Raining Men.
So…what do you think this season has in store? Any comments on the previews? I hope it’s better than last year’s…I think the field that made it to the finals was pretty weak overall, and I hated hated hated Fantasia. Guh.
I love the early audition weeks…nothing like a good healthy dose of schadenfreude!!
So they’re going to guarantee half of the semifinalist spots to men. As long as they’re good men, that’s fine by me. I got a little sick of every week turning into a diva-off anyway.
That article also says celebrity judges will be a part of the audition process, and I believe I saw a clip of Mark McGrath participating on something this morning.
Bring on Simon in his tight v-necks, I say! I’ve been missing his chesticles.
I liked the promo where a guy was caterwauling his way through “All By Myself.” After he was done “singing,” Simon said, “Keep singing like that and you will be.”
Dung Beetle, are you in Tallahassee? I’ll be watching all alone but I’d love have someone to snark with. And no, I’m not creepy, lonely, or crazy. I just don’t have any friends that watch this show.
Actually, Susie, if I did live in Tallahassee I’d accept your offer with glee. But Gainesville’s just too far away to drive up there twice a week, even for American Idol. I figure I’ll miss out on the early shows, but get some kind of plan together by the time it really starts rolling. Thanks!
Heh, s’ok. You don’t want to hear me singing along, anyway. Every time someone gives a particularly horrendous audition, I sing aloud just to prove I could have done better. Which…no. Not usually.
That right there is nearly the end of the show for me. This used to be a show for real singers, of which “The Demon from KISS” is the antithesis. What moron in programming came up with this?
What’s the ol’ tone-deaf wonder going to say? “Well, your vocal control is very nice, but this is rock’n’roll, not La Scala, so you need to tease your hair more & learn to spit blood onstage.”?
So far I like that music teacher with the dreads. I agree with the judges that it’s nice to hear someone just sing the melodies without all those damn runs.
Hee!! Simon just called the horrific performance that wouldn’t end “bizarrely dreadful”.
I never cease to be amazed by the people who think they’re really, really good and actually suck. Like the heavyset girl towards the beginning who got rejected and came out crying that she was one of the good ones who got passed on, because she totally wasn’t one of those idiots who can’t sing who come down and are in denial about how good they are. Ummm…wow.
