Digital Brainwaves

Atlanta! Only place they’ve auditioned where I’ve actually been in the past.

• They didn’t mention that Diana DiGarmo was from the Atlanta area in the cold open. I was in the Atlanta area in 2004 when she was one of the top two finalists, and they were going nuts at the time.
• Naww. Ryan’s parents!
• Hahaha, his dad’s looking for spinner hubcaps.
• The “Walking On Broken Glass” deal is a clever at first, but gets thin verrrrrrry quickly.
• Careful how far you throw that glass cutter. “AHHH! MY EYE!”
• I didn’t think the eyes were as buggy as Simon thought…
• Ouch, Clay Aiken diss.
• Joshua’s audition isn’t good… again… and he thinks he’s going to sing in college????
• Heh, Paula is noncomittal as usual.
• Oh noes… to lose your dad just 30 minutes after talking to him… gah.
• Asia’h doesn’t sound bad, but it’s clear that her dad’s making her break up a little. I think she’ll improve if she moves on.
• Paula’s losing it, too. Wow.
• nawww, the sweet southern belles…
• Brooke might finally prove Simon wrong on the pageant queen deal. She’s good.
• “I love you!” “I know.” *snort*
• Oh of course Simon will hug her. Who wouldn’t?
• “I really didn’t want her to sing well!”
• Spelling lessons anyone?
• What’s up with this “glamorous” song, why is everyone singing it, and why haven’t I heard it before?
• Eva? Can you say “restraining order”?
• Oh, she’s died!
• “You want me to continue singing?” “Sure!” Uh, wut?
• I don’t think she meant to fall, either… she stepped on her number sticker.
• When asked who tells you you have a good singing voice, you need to be prepared with someone other than “my family”. Your family will almost always lie to you about something like this.
• “Can I have a hug?” “Yeah, I need one too.” *snort*
• Ryan’s high-five to grandma almost knocked her out of her chair.
• Alexandra’s audition started soft, but she got stronger quickly.
• Short on looks (like I’m one to talk) and on voices, this crowd.
• Simon looks unimpressed with Nathan.
• No, really unimpressed. What a smartass.
• Biker nurse!!!
• She definitely stands out.
• I don’t know the song well enough to know if she actually sounds like that or if she’s imitating the original.
• She sounds great jumping into the CCR.
• Your parents know you were in your car now. You just televised it.
• The vibrato sounds a little weired, but the British accent sounds interesting. I wasn’t sure at first, but he grew on me throughout the audition.
• “The British are taking over!” Even if it’s the faux-British.
• Wow, only 19 made it? Why not show us all 19 and cut back on the crap?

I didn’t get to see where the next episode is, but then, I don’t have to wait long, as I’m watching these on tape. Next episode will be up later tonight when I finish watching it.
