    Oh boy! I'll have to set up the DVR. I know what you mean, Kim, about those auditions. I like watching them, but they do get tedious and annoying. I usually burn out before they get to the end of them!

    I don't get as much of a kick out of the bad one's. Sometimes it's really funny, but I think that because it "hits SO close to home" (i.e. I CANNOT SING!) that I feel like I am getting the criticism! :D

    I was reading the other day that they will be letting contestants play instruments this year (at least those who know how to play instruments, I guess). And there may be less superstar performers when it gets to Hollywood as they thought that took away from some of the Idol contestants last year.

    I love AI but hate the auditions too. Some are funny, but most are ridiculous.

    I'm sure some will think I'm lame or overly-PC but I hate the audition rounds because the most extreme of the terrible singers are clearly mentally ill and I'm not into exploiting those who don't know they are being made fun of. Where else can you make fun of mentally ill people so blatantly and get away with it. Maybe DH and I are sensitive to it b/c I'm a clinical social worker and he's a psychologist. You can't turn it off at home, I guess. We usually tune in when the actual competition starts.

    I was so glad she did so well! I liked her voice.


    We were flipping back and forth the first hour (had to watch NCIS).

    What about that guy singing about stalking Paula? And the one who got waxed?

    OMG those guys were just wackadoos!!! How about that Princess Leah chick?? Or glitter girl?

    I honestly think some people know they can't sing and just want to be on tv.

    Yeah, the gal (Angela?) with the daughter with Rhett's was really compelling!! I was crying as I watched her!!

    I do have to say that the auditions were fun last night!!
    EXCEPT FREAKY GLITTER CHICK!!! She was actually painful to listen to. Her voice (talking) was very odd and I was really tempted to fast forward through her, but couldn't bring myself to do it! :D (Train Wreck)

    Star Wars Chick bugged me too!! She kept saying "they need diversity, more diversity" and in the background they showed people coming out with their golden tickets of all race, hair color, size and shape. It was funny!! :rotflmbo:

    There are some great talents that will go through.

    I worry about twin nanny, she might not make it through the next auditions....she's lacking in self confidence and I wonder when she's faced with the chaos of the Hollywood auditions and new songs to choose from - she'll sing ok, but I don't know if she's top 15 or whatever they start with. :(

    Stalker guy was seriously WHACKED! Wonder if he's a danger? He might have been questioned right then and there about that!

    Also, grody outfit - got waxed guy was just kind of SAD!!! He knew it was all a gimmick and was smiling as such through the whole thing. I feel SO sorry for him when all that hair starts growing back in!!! :eek:

    I agree!! How can some of these people REALLY now know that they are terrible?? I mean, really??!! :p

    I laughed my butt off at that guy singing about Moses (don't remember the name of the song). OMG - so funny!

    That was the first time I have ever watched the auditions. That stalker guy was freaky. I'm glad Simon told him to leave.

    Freaky Glitter Chick: she was SCARY! So much rage. I hope she does better with "actressing!"
