"AI9 Season Premiere Boston Auditions"
Posted by Snidget on 01-12-10 at 03:13 PM
Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn'd
He may ride forever
'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned.

This.....is....American Idol.

Tonight we start in Boston with the audtions of those we will never see again, the few who will show up in the finale (as finalists or as jokes) and we shall see if the show can carry on without Pauler.

So in her memory, take a drink whenever you spot the chosen one, the one they want us to think is the chosen one, the 2.6 nanoseconds of the people we will be voting on, the one who is getting a lot of air time so we can spot the crazy when Hollywood week starts. The one who they know won't make it through so they gotta get the sobs in while the sobbing is good. The one they told was great just so they'd get the ego from heck claiming the judges don't know what they are talking about. The one that got in because of the costume...or lack of costume....

Oh, and other than little drinky guy, ixnay on the aphicgray. Just in case I'm not in here by myself and the thread gets long.

Cue the sob stories and the images that no one on the show is a failed singer who have had a few deals along the way....Every job but...

9000 auditioned.

Looking to make history.

One hurdle before Hollywood.

Kara, Randy, Simon, and Victoria Beckham.

What is that on her head?

"RE: Raining in Boston"
Posted by Estee on 01-12-10 at 08:13 PM
It's her ego. Big, isn't it?

This wasn't cut too recently -- no mention of Simon's departure. And they couldn't bother to give Paula the full Bad Day walkout with montage of drunken moments attendant. Just wait: we'll be at 'Who's Paula?' by the end of the month. Shortly followed by 'Who's Simon?'

Look, if Ryan is going to keep opening the season from high places, we're just gonna have to push him...

"Janet McNamera"
Posted by Snidget on 01-12-10 at 08:09 PM
Played the video game and she now gets to Hollywood, now, didn't when she started playing the game.

Jumps up and down to convince herself she is awesome. Isn't there a pamphlet about jumping up and down.

Sings Pocket full of Sunshine.

Simon: Does this window open.

She confuses Kara with Paula.

It is a no.

number 9 of 12 kids.

Number 8 has Down's Syndrome.
Adopted kids with Down's as well.

She is 16 years old.

Hallelujah is the song.

Nice voice from Simon with a bit of Soul.
Randy really liked it.

Victoria has a good voice, looked nervous.
Kara, have an old soul, feels authentic.

Simon...not annoying even though you are 16.

She is going to Hollywood.

Who is the entertainment...or not.

Pat Ford, sings Womanizer.

Likes slapping himself while he sings.

He thinks he did awesome. Simon is sassy.

Simon is a no. Randy you are a cool guy, but singing is not your thing. He hugs Kara.

"RE: Sadly waiting boy and Pat Ford"

Cue big Italian Family eating scene.

Why not auditioned before 28, wife pushed him into it.

Muddy Waters Hoochie Coochie Man

They like him, he's a real guy with good voice. Simon thinks he has a huge likability thing. Good energy.

He's through to Hollywood with four yeses.

"RE: What about the guys? Amadeo Dirocco"
Posted by Estee on 01-12-10 at 08:34 PM
He comes across as the kind of guy it might be fun to root for, but I'm going to need to hear him sing something instead of mostly shouting it.

I thought surely they would ask him to sing a bit of something else. Should be interesting.

I didn't think she was as bad as the judges believed she was. Not AI level, but at least a respectable open mike night.

And then she pulled out the 'people who tell me I'm great' card.

I'm not anime people. I'm someone who occasionally watches anime. I don't go to conventions or venture anywhere near otaku. There's only so many people I can kill in one day before the authorities start to get suspicious.

"Andrew Fenlon"
Posted by Snidget on 01-12-10 at 08:52 PM
Doesn't like the waiting or the interviewing.

Gee, he is single, no idea why...

What brought me here to audition, not that interesting of a question. He says smart-azzedly but claimes he is not.

Singing House of the Rising Sun then asks if they have heard of it.

Kara asks if he is angry. He says he was waiting, For you to have a bad attitude pisses me off. He says she is reading it to far. She is now angry at him and doesn't like him at all.

Randy asks about the attitude, and he says there is no problem. Simon says he was rude, sulky and agressive.

He is trying to seem confident. Victoria says he doesn't have the goods to back it up.

Noes across the board, except for Simon, he's starting to grow on Simon. Kara says at least Simon is charming.

He says he isn't judging Kara. She says he needs a spanking.

Simon says live and learn, Kara tells Simon to shut up.

"RE: Andrew Fenlon"
Posted by whimsey on 01-12-10 at 08:55 PM
Holy "bad audition advice", Batman!

I thought he had a great Michael Buble type of voice. I just think someone told him to be confident, and he confused it with jerk.

"RE: Andrew Fenlon"
Posted by Estee on 01-12-10 at 08:57 PM
That might be the saddest part of the whole thing. He can sing -- but he's poisoned part of the panel: mature and return next year if he dares, but he's forever down one vote. I think he'll grow up before they will. And even the former is a longshot.
"RE: Andrew Fenlon"
Posted by Estee on 01-12-10 at 08:56 PM
He needs a spanking -- back in Kara's hotel room!

Okay, so he's more suited for Tool Academy, but it somehow felt like Kara came off the worse in that confrontation. She works in music and she's never seen a male diva before? Live and learn and have another long drink from Paula's old cup, which has had its contents brewing for seven months.

Not that he isn't a jerk. He is. But Kara went down to his level and then dug a tunnel under his feet.

Singing Alicia Keys.

Kara loves her, loves the look, that is a difficult song to sing, brought personality. Very commercial.

Victoria thinks she is great. Sultry chimes in Kara.

Simon thinks she may have it.

lots of yes.

broke both his wrists. Plates and screws. He is a drummer but would like to be a front man.

Confident young man says Simon, without being obnoxious.

Kara likes him.

He can take her on a date, on Codzilla.

Randy says no. Simon walks off. Leaving it in the hands of the girls.

So far no one has gotten through, but Mike made it.

Of course I'll watch all of these shows, but I found myself fast forwarding almost as soon as most of them opened their mouths. The audition shows have definitely gotten stale through the years. I'll watch closer once Hollywood week starts. I like to see how some of them unravel!
