Mark McGrath: You did not just tell her she sounds like she has the West Nile Virus.
“I just found out I could sing a few weeks ago!”
:wally
There’s a reason why no one told him he could sing.
Mark McGraff: You hear voices in your head? What are they saying now?
So when she says "all her friends: told her she was an “awesome singer,” can anyone else see these “friends?” :eek:
OMG!! That was scary.
Someone needs better friends! :eek:
I missed FreakyMary, since I was watching the glorious conclusion of this week’s Amazing Race (squee!), but I think we can all agree on one thing…
…Mark McGrath is, indeed, a hottie. Rawr. 
Where do you get an accent like that? I have friends from Lousiana - they don’t sound like that.
Wow.
Is it just me, or does FreakyMary look like Gilligan and Becky from Roseanne had a retarded baby?
Thanks Amanda!
Hi.
First time American Idol Show Watcher for more than five minutes.
I just wanted to tap and say that the chick that said " God gave her this talent" was nuttier than a fruit cake and that the chick with the two british parents really surprised me by actually being able to sing. She was dressed like a trainwreck though.
My favorite was the above forementioned heavyset-in-denial-chick-who-was-unfairly (WAH) cut blah blah… that said she she was older and carried herself with a lot of class and sang horrendously while dressed like a deflating parade float. I think she should be forced to watch herself sing on that tape every minute of every day for the rest of her life.
The lady that hocked her wedding rings to make it to Idol surprised me greatly. I was expecting…well…awful or horrendously deluded. She was very good, but she is apparently married to Gomer or something.
Unfortunately I missed the first 45 minutes due to class, and also I can’t program a VCR.
I can’t help but wonder if Mary Roach was a fake. Remember that girl last year who did “I’m So Excited” or something, and she was wearing legwarmers and stilettos, and she threw a tantrum, and then it turned out that she was put up as a fake by a radio station? That’s what Mary reminds me of. And that stuff, like, “I’m so pissed and screw you but Mark McGrath is a hottie…” I dunno, seemed fake-ish to me. On the other hand, Mary may have been the real thing. And if she is the real thing, I feel sorry for her more than anything.
Since I am a virgin to this show I haven’t been living under a rock, I’ve been fighting the dumbing down of America through RTV and …I’ve just given up. I want to be stoopid too. I have a few questions:
[ul]
[li]Do the judges have to endure ALL 100,000 possible entries or are there try out tapes?[/li][li]If there are try out tapes, they why the cattle call audtions?[/li][li] Can they play an instrument?[/li][/ul]
Also, the guy who was the front man for a band surprised me. Constantine Something. With some fine tuning and a better song, he may be interesting.
I missed the last half hour of the show because Mr. Ujest and his desperate need to watch something on every station for a zinth of a second, made me endure the trauma of Artic Crab Fishing Industry on the Discovery Channel I am never eating crab again. It’s brutal on the men. Fcuk the crabs. and some amazingly scary video footage of some murderous mudslide in Russia that killed loads of unsuspecting people.
It isn’t good to toggle back and forth because in the middle of watching the footage of this mudslide I fully expected Simon to pip in, " Oh, too bad, you’ve got the range& power, but your all over the place."
No, there are other judges that screen people for the potentially good ones, and the potentially trainwreck ones, and those are the ones that get sent on to Paula, Simon, and Randy.
No way, Jose.
I like the guy who did “Sunshine of My Life” and the fellow who sang “Sunny Side of the Street” (I think it was). Randy was typically Randy in being the only “No” for the latter – he doesn’t understand or appreciate anything before 1980.
New Orleans will be good to see. That’s a town with some serious music in its blood, and I bet there are some good entries. I also doubt there would be many people deluded about their talent level in a city that takes music so seriously, but ya never know.
The self-delusion is the only reason I watch the show. There were a couple of really good singers, particularly the music teacher in dreadlocks.
It’s obvious from the first round who will be in the finals. After four years or whatever, I think I’ve had enough of the car crash value of don’t-know-they-suck losers and would happily skip the first two rounds and go to the semis.
I think Constantine’s interesting, not substantially better than a lot of the guys who didn’t make it, but they chose him for his name. Way easier to remember than last years Jon and John and Matt and George and Bill…ugh.
… or better medication
I think this year will be a good one. Last year I started to have my doubts about the competition because they didn’t show at this stage many interestingly potential singers, mostly train wrecks.
