[Morrigoon]

I'm a little pissed at AI right now. They loosened their age requirements, but didn't really announce that during audition time, did they?

Grr...

[Gemini Cricket]

I just watched the last 5 minutes of AI. A girl named Mary sang. Yikes. She seemed psycho! I couldn't tell if that was for real or some actress they got to pretend to audition. (They do do that, you know...)

Mary = Scary

[Morrigoon]

I *loved* the opening of the show. I usually avoid watching much of that show, but tonight's opening was so funny it just sucked me in!

[mamabot]

TiVo watched tonight's episode for me. Maybe I will watch AI before I go to bed. I have the season pass all set.

[Jazzman]

After the voting debacles of last year I'm not sure whether or not I'll tune in this season. We're big fans of it, but some of that crap last year was just too damned ridiculous.

[figment1986]

maby they upgraded their voting system.. (can t-moble text the text messege for voting??)

I didn't know that they did that! But I really hope that Mary was acting. And, she said her friends said that she has a great voice! I don't think she has very good friends. The part that really cracked me up was when she asked the judges if she should just sing as "herself".

[Disguy]

That girl Mary was scary indeed! Funny, but scary. I have it on Tivo but wasn't in the mood last night so I just watched the ending as well. Maybe tonight.

[angryrubberduck]

The judges are certainly a tad more harsh this year. I feel bad for those people who honestly believe they can sing well. This people that you see with honest tears in their eyes more from getting the harsh words from the judges more than anything.

oh, how we love to laugh at their pain. I cannot talk though, I actually bought William Hung's cd.

TuneDeaf Duck!

[Malin]

Just seen some of the St Louis show.Can't belive Simon called the Maynard triplets all fat.A bit harsh.

[Morrigoon]

Sooo.... update.

Who here enjoyed watching Miss I-can't-memorize-"Baby, baby, where has our love gone?"-or-any-other-lyrics-but-I-still-think-I'm-talented-and-should-get-to-continue-because-I'm-a-nice-person get the boot? Sweetheart, it doesn't matter HOW good your voice is, if you're unprepared to use it! Being the American Idol is not an end in itself - it's a job. Get that? A JOB. You have to actually WORK in the entertainment industry. Ooh, another fancy word: industry.

When Paula and Simon fought, I really thought they were fighting over the long-haired death rocker, but the show seemed to indicate it was the blonde guy?

Can anyone tell if the goth opera chick made it through?

I enjoyed that. She said something to the effect of "But I'm really good" after they were explaining to her that she doesn't have the mental capacity to learn her lines. She may sound good but your not getting anywhere unless you know what song your gonna sing. I don't wanna hear a cd with a bunch of random mumbling set to a tune...maybe it would sell as a comedy album.

I only watched up to their though. I'm not much of an American Idol watcher. I was only watching cause i know someone whos cousin is one of the contestants. I stopped watching there cause I found out she wasn't gonna be on that particular episode.

[quasimodo1384]

I don't remember their names, but that one group of three guys who went to bed and didn't practice their song (while all the other groups worked their hinies off...grrrr) and then they still all got a second chance! Those guys all need to go home right now...sorry, I'm bitter

Oh and ditto to the "pretty" girl with the memory span of Dory

I agree! The group of guys that were kept on didn't deserve it. Maybe the judges needed more guys. The "pretty girl" - she was the one who came to the initial audition dressed in the fishnet/spiderweb outfit and looked like a street walker. At least she dressed a little better, but wow, she is probably worse than Dory, and not as entertaining!

[Xharryb]

Can anyone tell if the goth opera chick made it through?

She was cut on the first hollywood Ep I believe.

[Demigod]

The only good part of AI is the first audition part of it.

I only watch that part, as I don't really like the competition after that.

The first part is hilarious. I can't believe some of the people there don't know they can't sing.

Wanna know what's sad? That girl comes from my area. I kept looking at her name and face to see if I've ever helped her at the library.

[mamabot]

The guys performed last night what did you think?

I really liked Bo, Anwar and Mario. I think Mario could win it all, if only he didn't look/sound so much like the hispanic version of Justin Timberlake. Bo totally surprised me. He was so great last night. Anwar is absolutely positively fantastic. Of the guys, I like his story the best. What a way to promote Music in the Schools.
