Thanatos340 1 #9 January 14, 2009 I was not impressed at all last night. The show basically sucked. Fortunately I was watching on a DVR where I cold fast forward through most of it. I absolutely despise the "Bad Auditions" they put on. I feel horrible for the people they humiliate like that on national TV. What most people don’t understand is that these people are completely set up for this. A very small percentage of people auditioning actually make it in front of "the Judges". They go through several auditions before they are sent in. Many of these people are told how great they sound and made to believe they have a shot by the producers before being sent in to be laughed at. Yes, They are horrible and should not have auditioned but they should have been told during the first 2 or 3 auditions they go through that they don’t have a shot and sent packing. No need to make fools of them by sending them on to the Judges for TV. The new judge - I liked her. She seemed real. Very likeable and honest without Hollywood attitude like you get from Randy or Paula. The contestants - They all pretty much sucked. The Tattooed chick with the Fucked up ear lobes was ok in a Bar band kind of way. The girl named after Stevie Nicks has some potential. She will be a pretty girl for a few more years before she starts to balloon up. Very pretty eyes and an ok voice. The oil field worker was a pure cheese piece. The guy just didnt have that great of a voice. Yes he gets the "Good guy" award but the talent just wasn’t there. The Bikini Chick - What a fuckin joke but it was entertaining to see Paulas reaction. The Horror/Freak boy - He wasnt too bad. Some potential there. He had a good presence when he sang and I think he could do alright on a stage. The blind guy - another "Heart strings" contestant that just didnt sound that good. If that guy wasnt blind they never would have given him a shot. I am not sure if I will watch anymore of the audition shows because they really piss me off when they send in people they already know are horrible just so they can humiliate them.

murrays 0 #12 January 15, 2009 Wednesday night - I wasn't too impressed with a lot of the people that got through. I thought there were about 3 that were good.

Radiance 0 #14 February 12, 2009 Some of tonight's choices were ridiculous. They let go of some serious artists for the likes of Drama Boy who has cried numerous times on every show, and Extremely Annoying Girl with the grating laugh. I guess they're going for more controvery/attention a la the Sanjaya kid. Bummer. We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. -- John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

murrays 0 #15 February 12, 2009 I never saw Extremely Annoying Girl - Tatiana's audition or subsequent performances, just the brief clip of her singing that they showed tonight...I was impressed with what I saw....but her over the top out of control emotions are enough to make me quit watching. The drama boy won't be around for too long I don't think, he was marginal....and also someone that makes me not want to watch the show. I agree that there were several people let go that were quite surprising. I don't know what it is about TV...people just like watching train wrecks and accidents I guess. Still and all I think they do have some people with a lot of potential and talent.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belgian_Draft 0 #16 February 12, 2009 Quote but her over the top out of control emotions are enough to make me quit watching. I feel the same way. Hopefully "drama boy" will be gone soon. Norman/Nick even getting past the first round was a slap in the face to much better talent that was left behind. The guy sounds like bloodhound with his nuts caught in a fence. Last season was the first time I watched more than one episode. If it weren't for me flipping channels and catching David cooke singing "Allright Now" I wouldn't have tuned in again. I think I'll wait until they are down to the final 12 before I watch again this year.HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

AggieDave 6 #18 February 12, 2009 I have a feeling that Annoying Girl will stick around for a while. Simply because her personality (as shown on TV) is horrible! She's a drama-queen with a horrible laugh. I think its funny that for once there are two very masculine guys actually getting onto the show. The welder and the rough neck.

masterrig 1 #21 February 12, 2009 I don't think that any of those could help this bunch! For the most part, the guys either scream or have this irritating falsetto and they all sound like someone's got 'em by the balls with Vise-Grips! As for the girls, I haven't heard one yet that I would even cross the street to listen to. There's gotta be something better on that American Idol this year!

Icon134 0 #25 February 13, 2009 QuoteWhich one was that? And why was she kicked off?Joanne Pacitti has been replaced by Felicia Barton... It has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition. AMERICAN IDOL contestant Felicia Barton has replaced Ms. Pacitti as part of the Top 36, L.A. Times reports. A source close to the show now tells us that Pacitti was disqualified to "avoid the appearance of impropriety." (meaning they got caught planting her... the other plants haven't been caught yet and stay on the show) In the past week, tabloids had been reporting on a private relationship between Pacitti and executives of 19 Management - one of the companies which oversees Idol.
