Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day
I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)
We love itWell other than the deluge they've had lately....
Avril and Katy I think are supposed to be the guest judges tonight.
We'll see if anybody is happy tonight.
You know the drill, text only, save the graphics for the other threads, but leave as much snark as you can on the field of play.
Would you marry a woman that1) Goes on "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" on the way to the chapel and
2) does so badly they have to give her a few bucks because she busted out and can't even go for the bonus question?
That was what happened when I switched over for AI.
Poor guy.
Ryan at his radio show.10,000 people at the Rose Bowl.
Hooray for Hollywood intro.11,000 hopefuls, went up as Ryan drove over to the auditions.
Avril for the first day. She has horns on her hoodie, she's young so she will go easy on them.
LA - the freaks should come out in force.
Freaks and everyone here and there and wild in between.
What, I thought everyone in LA was supposed to be really grounded and normal?
He's smart, and geeky, and draws hearts on mirrors with lipstick while looking like a middle aged woman.He has a weird vocal tic with the Q&A session.
Rock and Roll Dreams Come True by Meatloaf.
Loses the lyrics.
We are rooting for you
Simon adds, no we are not.That is not the melody of this song. I don't know what melody he is singing to.
He likes the way he sounded.
Simon. Not suited for this business.
Neil is not leaving and thinks he is great and argues for Simon.
He makes his own reality and he is going to Hollywood.
Goes the wrong way out, and can anyone sweat more than him.
Simon bumped him with the door, I guess lots of IQ points doesn't mean you aren't smart enough to stay out of the way of where doors open.
Pretty boy gets a case of the nerves to start.Then says he's not going anywhere, then he's only going to Hollywood, and then after taking a wrong exit, point himself to the door out.
And there goes all the hair gel endorsements Kara could ever want.I have no idea what he was attempting with the song. That one is begging for pure power and he was treating it as a love ballad.
I had a feeling it wasn't going to go well even before he forgot the lyrics.Belle Book
I want Avril's hoodie.On my doorstep by morning will do nicely.
She sort of has the look of a wizardess. I can imagine her in Harry Potter.
I have no clue who she is
oh well
Don't feel bad, I don't either.I'm so old school I'm looking forward to The Who's halftime show.
i think she was afraid of the preacher guy
Seriously?Wow. You've been missing out. And you don't get the hoodie.

You know, they don't call you the Link Queen for nothing!Good catch.
Ooooh... pretty...
Worship Pastor with three kids.Song he wrote called Drive
Song ain't bad.
Simon, good voice, authentic.
Avril, Will you travel and stuff if you are a pop star, but you do have a good voice.
Simon yes, Avril, no, Kara (how you can do everything, I don't know)
And he comes out with the golden ticket.
I like this guy. Dunno how far he'll go with perhaps a limited voice range, but he's good at what he can do.
Kara worries about his ability to keep his faith going.Kara worries about another singer with a massive church group on autovote.
it was not Kara's place to say if he could handle it or not
she's there to judge his voice = that's all
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Martial Art Pacifist. Has a note that is a nemesis.Righteous Brothers: You lost that loving feeling
You've lost the melody, the rhythm, the musicality, and sounds like you popped a vocal cord.
Damien you should just go
On my way.
LAST EDITED ON 01-26-10 AT 08:21 PM (EST)My first thought on seeing him was Why did Dustbin Diamond get a shave and haircut before trying out? And it went about that badly.
Sayonara!No omens for this guy.
after the kid montagePat Benetar Love is a Battlefield
Simon, good voice, style is cliched
Avril, likes the tone and punk rock.
Randy, love that.Simon yes and all the rest 4 yeses and through to Hollywood.
Kid wants to meet him.
Thinks it must be his kid because she likes the mean.
As soon as I heard her say Pat Benetar, I knew she'd nail it.
Love her. She won't last.
Gave a demo to Adam who liked itCult of Personality by Living Color.
Can that be any more affected?
Simon, went to the dentist ten minutes ago.
Randy, didn't even open your mouth.
Kara, no honey just close that.Avril. Absolutely not.
A sport every network can play!(They're gonna counterprogram the Super Bowl with it.)
GIRL FIGHT.Oh please throw your coke in Kara's face.
Katy Perry for day two
Thinks the judges coming by helicopter is ridiculous.Thinks he's really sexual.
Cheap Trick Surrender.
More affectedness.
Katy is scared.
Kara a bit of Jagger. Iggy pop body.Simon, can't you be happy cleaning water.
Begging to do something else and freaking Simon out.
and it is a no.
A glossy black and red striped shirt dude can't contain himself. Hardly an Idol.
Katy asks if the contestants are frisked before they come in
In LA?Uh, huh.
We're talkin' different hoodies here (which, by the way, just disappeared).
Another Dad.
Parents were in gangs. They didn't want that for him.
Gets the full Dad in the kitchen crying backstory.Sunday Morning.
Simon, only person I genuinely believe is a good singer.
You like music, good choice, difficult to sing.Kara. Really like you really know what to emphasize.
Randy, Mad vocals.
All Yes.
Randy says, you da man.Great song piece. One more for the top 24.
Absolutely did not need the drippy back story, he's fantastic on his vocals alone.Did I mention I hate the backstory drama?
Another ministerBaby baby baby by Josh Stone.
Katy loves a good southern belle.
Simon. Oh happy day medley if you make the top 12.All yes so off to Hollywood.
"I'm going to Hollywood!"That about says it.
Nope. 'What do I do now?' said it all.
To balance out the wholesome.He believes in magic.
Divinyls, I touch myself.
Katy looks at Kara like she is insane.
Simon, if you are comfortable on your knees. not going to spend a lot of time.
Just going to vote.
Katy feels dirty and says no, and no all around.
Playgirl reject, and that was with the clothes posed on the floor of the stage. Icky.Song, what song?
Eweweweweeeeeuuuuuww!Shower! Gotta take a shower nownownow! Gotta get Greene-stink off! Oh, ultra-yuck!
That wants men? Oh, you poor men... No matter what you hear about Ryan, there's no way he could ever go for -- I think I'm gonna be sick...
Katy Perry is hot. That is all.
Is it a bad sign when I am sick of someone before I see them audition?Full sobbackstory treatment.
Stand By Me
Randy. I like you, something interesting about you.
Kara. My favorite today. Look back and say wow, just enough talent to make it worth our while to pimp it.
Katy. This is NOT a Lifetime movie.
Simon, not getting what Kara got. Nice voice, old fashioned.Small y yes. Katy small y yes. Kara BIG Y, GIANT Y from Randy.
LAST EDITED ON 01-26-10 AT 09:02 PM (EST)Nice song and I liked the way he kept his cool with all the drama on stage. Just a good voice along with nerves like that will get you in the top 24.
(eta) Why... Why! Why? Why.
...with the wrong singer.Nice timing.
Orphan GoLytely*snort*
montage of the ones with no story to pimp
Does anyone understand the editing on this episode? They were making it look like the biggest disaster since Puerto Rico -- and twenty-two people got through?
Yeah, with so many bad auditions along with the good ones, we get a slice of what our dear judges have to suffer through even with the pre-screening to get them on stage. This week? They did a poor job of selecting known rejects for entertainment.
It's frustrating to me that they never show enough of the people who got golden tickets. I want to see more dammit!
It's a Tribe!
