anybody else watching?

Yeah, so leave me alone and let me finish watching it I'll have more to say once this episode's over. I look forward to the badness. I've not bought any of the winner's albums, but I bought and really liked Tamyra Gray's album. She's a pretty good songwriter. Too bad its sales weren't so good.

fantasia's cd was very good btw...ashlee simpson sounds like whitney compared to these morons

uggh....why would you stand in line for days and have not a lick of talent? somebody in these people's circles should have pulled them to the side and told them they were horrible!! pee-yeww

Haha yeah but Paula's standing there going, "You did so good, guys! Group hug, group hug!" so it kind of nullifies him.

Like every other season, there are lots and lots and lots of delusional young queens who think memorizing the choreography in every Madonna, Janet and Paula video makes them qualified to say, "I'm going to be the next triple threat." Ugh. Some of these people need to be laughed at, but it gets pretty iffy when the person is obviously mentally ill in some way (like the last poor hopeful). Most of the time I find Simon amusing, but when he cuts people because of their body type, I get severely annoyed.

The "Purple Man" had me in stitches. Those horrible long notes and the looks on Randy, Paula and Simon's faces were priceless. They all kept glancing at their watches like, "How long has he held it?"

yeah..the three of them all sound like shit live, so maybe they aren't so far off the mark

meltwithu said:

That may be.

that shyt was so damn funny tonight...omg i almost fell out my chair laughing at the guy who claimed he was Toni Braxton's cousin!!!

When he tried to sing, you couldn't even understand what he was saying, and he swore up and down that he was the stuff...no no no sweetie, u are exact opposite. He needed to take his switchin ass somewhere and sat down!!!

oh my god the guy who did the temptations song "papa was a rollin' stone"!!! This guy song this song in 5 part harmony, that shyt was hilarious!!!

I love the first few episodes...not so much after that. My sister was home and just wanted it to end becuase they were being so mean but she was laughing and "Oh My God"ing as well! It's fun stuff!

The Purple Queen was a HOT MESS!!!!! as was that other GURL proclaiming to be 1.Toni Braxtons cousin and 2.Fabulous!!!UUUUgggghhhh!!!!! he sounded like a broke down Michael McDonald...all of that hoofin...then caught himself trying to read after he was ever so kindly dismissed...LMAO!!!!

Yuck!
Simon's opinions are taken much more seriously.

All 3 of their roles are fairly well defined.
For the most part Simon tells it like it is, Paula's the softy and Randy's the swing vote.
The "celebrity" judge tends to muck things up as they don't want to come off too harsh.

There should really be a competition within a competition during this early section of the show called "America's Most Deluded".
The winner would get the William Hung Award.

Umm, the point isn't that hard to understand. back at you. If you'd read posts before your own, you would see that I was referring to the contestants - not you.

It was a decent start- but 2 hours was TOO long. I got bored halfway thru and read a magazine while watching.

a few high (low) lights-0

"Toni Braxton's Cousin"- Girl was CLEARLY on drugs- my vote goes with Meth. Did you hear how fast he was chattering! And, how you gonna walk up to the judges at AI and say "I don't like people"?? I think you'd better PRETEND to like people if you wanna succeed on that show!

The 28 year-old mom. It was touching but CRAZY. I actually felt uncomfortable watching her. She pawned her wedding rings to make the trip to the audition? I think these reality shows really give people some false hopes. Hopefully she'll improve and succeed a bit. If not, she gave up a lot for 5 minutes on tv.

"Hanky Panky" I can't believe someone chose to do THAT song for an audition! Didn't sound much worse than Madonna though

"The Rocker"-that shiaaat with his band was SO STAGED. Shit, they could barely keep a straight face. Anywho- his band shouldn't worry. Unless he improves quickly from his wailing last nite, he'll be gone soon enough.

endorphin74 said:

But...but...she's been told she looks like Madonna and Sharon Stone.

endorphin74 said:

uhm yes the wife and the wedding ring was a bit much...even though she didn't sound all that bad she is hardly pop material...maybe like a smooth jazz vocalist or something like that would suit her....and then that Purple Mess I was like please can somebody get Grimace and Barney's LovechildOFF the screen please!!!!!

my favorite was the trailer park chic with the sleeveless black pebbles flinstone dress on, arms allscrtached up (with all that genuine silver-plated 1987 jewlery on)..."some of these girls don't know how to dress classy!"...and Simon told her she look like she ran through some bushes lol

meltwithu said:

that POOR misguided soul- she was AWFUL.

Not that trainwrecks are fun, but when it comes to that show, that's how I see it. It's a trip when psycho girl said that she was told by friends and strangers that she could sing. She was really scary. I didn't think she was gonna attack anybody but I was expecting something really bad to happen, maybe it was the background sound effects. The show could definitely could be condensed to an hour. Just cuz you think you can hold a note or twitch your face with emotion does not mean you can sing. I know I can't sing, so I can talk.

I saw a little bit of it on tv last night at a gig I was playing. I didnt even know they were starting up again. I think they really ought to can this show because it seems like it's just getting to be about the insults and the people who really suck. There dont' seem to be any genuinely talented people on the show.

Yeah! Scary Mary...



...definitely a finalist for the 2005 William Hung Award.

I got home some time after 9:00, saw the last 10 minutes with this girl that truly had mental problems (or is one hell of an actress), chalked it up to another year of American Idol exploiting the defenseless and will leave it at that.
