American Idol 1/16 (Liveblogged!)
Jan 16, 2008 That's Hot
Like I said yesterday, Dallas is already scaring me, and the show hasn’t even aired yet. Let’s see what we get…
- Dallas, the home of Kelly Clarkson… the winner of the show two seasons before I started watching. It’s all my old roommate Jeff’s fault.
- Ugh, that didn’t take long… to see if any more talent has appeared “since we been gone.” *smacks Ryan*
- Aww… Idol baby!
- Jessica is our first drug recovery story of the show… former meth addict has recovered, now has what looks like a healthy kid with her– wait, strike that, two kids.
- Good song choice… damn, good pipes to go with it. I’d vote her in… No response from the judges at first…
- Excellent! One winner so far…
- Plaid dude (Plaid) scares me. FOX’s choice of music doesn’t help it any, and Ryan doesn’t need to be encouraging him to dance.
- Ugh… bad roller coaster pun… though if he’s having ups and downs, his audition was definitely a down.
- Once again, someone’s family, with no ear for singing talent, thinks someone’s going all the way. I’m all about encouragement, but dude… he sucks!
- “I’ve never kissed a girl before…” Okay, thanks for sharing, that’s nice. Can you sing?
- Oh god, how many people are going to be singing Kelly Clarkson tonight? It’s gonna make the judges ill after a while…
- Beth isn’t going to help this any… verrrrry off pitch and warbly.
- Ugh… an hour of that?
- That’s the confidence level you need… “I think Carrie Underwood looks like me.”
- Alaina sounds pretty damned good, too. I vote yes…
- Oh noes, Douglas is coming up. *fear*
- If neither one of these siblings (I presume) can sing alone, what made them think it would work together?
- “You’ll be guiding him, right?” “You don’t want that.” *DEAD*
- Bruce is a sappy story, but he’s got a decent voice… I’d definitely recommend he come back next year after some more practice.
- Zpia doesn’t sound too bad either…
- Was that a smile from Simon? Holy CRAP!
- “The birdman come-eth?” Oh dear…
- He collects… FINGERNAILS? *chokecough*
- YES! A HALL & OATES AUDITION! *dies*
- Damn, not bad. The fingernails are gross, but he’s got a voice.
- Hmm. Simon’s not impressed. The others like him, though. He may not last too long, but he should go on to the next round… and he does.
- Ryan needs to get smacked for his puns.
- Kayla looks great for what she’s been through. Energetic, too.
- I might do without the growling a little, though I know she’s getting it from the original artist. There’s some nice voice in between it all, I hope they can hear it.
- Simon said yes? Of the three I thought he’d be the one to decline.
- She’s got her shot, I hope she does well!
- Here’s another run of scary folks…
- Kady’s impressions sound pretty good… fortunately, after some coaxing, her real voice sounds even better.
- “Okay,I now officially hate that song.” That didn’t take long either.
- Douglas doesn’t have a voice to lose, if the commercials are any indication.
- Nope, he’s no good.
- Simon’s right… why are the other two encouraging him?
- “I was trying to do better…” It didn’t work.
- “You’re going do it again, aren’t you.” “They’re going to take you to a safe place…”
- “I think that was pretty decent.” That’s what thinking does for you.
- “He’s a professional model.” “Oh, like me and Simon!” *headdesk*
- Meep. Not doing it for me. Karaoke voice, at best.
- “They say love is deaf…” *snort*
- “…though Simon and I do mostly Speedo work…” THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING
- Kyle looks like quite the politician here…
- Hmm. I’m not sure about him. He’s good for the next round, though.
- I’m hoping that Tammy has a hidden singing voice behind all this show that FOX is putting on…
- …signs point to no.
- She forgot what song she was singing… and I think Paula broke her in reminding her.
- Colton looks the part of a rocker… and he’s got the pipes of one. Works for me.
- Haha, nice job psyching out his parents.
- “Pants can be restricting if you know what I mean…” Um… no. And I’d rather not.
- The gender-bender montage?
- Drew the farmer dude’s voice reminds me of Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
- Paula’s obviously infatuated. He’s got a voice.
- Kyle #2 doesn’t strike me as “rocker,” but we’ll see what we’ve got…
- Aww, he’s got the kids behind him, anyway. Survey says…
- “…slightly demonic…” *snicker*
- “We may have found the next king of pop…” No, I stand by my statement from yesterday… more like the next William Hung.
- Oh, noes… I liked this song, too. Sad.
- Nina’s off a little… not liking it.
- Hmm. Second song actually sounded better. She redeemed herself. Good work.
- People bow for Ronaldo? He’s a sideshow!
- Maybe he could use a sword or something. He looks like a musketeer.
- Now Randy’s encouraging him unnecessarily. Oy.
- Oh good lord. Now they’re dancing.
- Is Randy pumping water?
- OMG… Paula’s trying to sign… and half dance… wow.
- I think Simon has a disciple.
Oh, NOES… Randy thinks someone ELSE is William Hung? San Diego should be… uh… interesting… See ya next week.
