Dallas Auditions

Well thanks to my lack of preparation, I missed the last half of American Idol because of the State of the Union Speech. I missed the whole Joe Jonas guest judge spot. I thought Neil Patrick Harris was a major D-BAG! He had attitude, and treated the show like he was interviewing for the next CEO job of a major company. He acted like he was in charge with his, "Simon, yes or no?",,, I did not DIG him at all. Why did they have him judge anyways?? But onto the talent, there were a few that I really liked....here we go.

  • Laughed out loud when the blue sequin girl with blue eye shadow came, because she truly thought she was good. She kept singing after they said, No, and it just made me laugh.
  • Then we had the next Ruben Studdard. I knew he would make it through because they filmed him and his family, etc. He was alright, didn't knock my socks off.
  • Then bluesy jazzy singer that Simon said no to, but everyone else said yes. I kinda liked her tone. She won't make it too far.
  • WHAT A JOKE! The Barney singer Dominatrix - WHY??? She didn't have a good voice, it was too high and squealy in my opinion. She can sing, but it's not powerful, and how annoying to sing an En Vogue song,, horrible song to audition with. But they sent her through,,, who knows.... I'm not a fan!
  • The tourrette's guy - well he has a nice voice,, and I may not be PC with this comment, but I think people will start to get annoyed watching him. I'm not a horrible person, I promise,, but like last year's Scott MacIntyre who was blind, he got some sympathy votes, then I think he just kinda started 'bugging' the viewer a bit. I don't know,,,
  • I liked the guy who did The color Purple with Fantasia. He sang an original little tune to show off his vocals,, I thought it was fun.
  • A blonde girl with too short of shorts got up to sing, and I was NOT expecting that out of her mouth. She was really good, and Simon cut her off right before her big chorus of Garth Brook's 'to make you feel my love'. I really liked her. Maegan.

Then I missed the rest,, I'll have to go somewhere and find them and watch... next week is Denver,,, woot woot! Man I can't wait for Hollywood week! Bring it on! I'm ready!

I'm so dang ready for Hollywood Week, it's ridiculous. I'm sick and tired of seeing 1/8 of the good people in each audition. And, seriously, if I made it through to Hollywood and only got like 3 seconds or less on screen, I'd be POed. Sorry....ranting...

Um, I liked Neil Patrick Harris. I liked his Duche-bagginess. Ha! I thought it was hilarious that Simon and him didn't get along. Like, I was laughing out loud pretty dang hard. Sorry....ranting...again.

Anyway, I was a fan of Barney singer Dominatrix and I think tourrette's guy will make the top 24. He's totally got the sympathy vote going on.

And I missed the last half, too. And Joe Jonas is super hot so I was pretty ticked at Obama. Yeah, AI is more important to me than the State of the Union address. I'm un-American, apparently, or maybe too American?

Love ya.

I agree...sometimes they put people through because of the back story, instead of the singing. Oh well, eventually they get weeded out so the good ones are left. Well, usually (Sanjaya)!
