Crushing on J. Lo.

She seems to like his singing.

the boys leave it up to J. Lo, thinks he has a special tone and she says...dramatic pause...yes.

Dramatic pause?

Finally!

Well, sort of.

So the 1-2 vote has been replaced by the 1-0 vote? Yeesh...

Just got this forwarded: 'What I hate about L.A. auditions: "You're going -- two blocks down, hang a left, red door and up one flight. Can't miss it."'

one dropped out of college for Idol.

Stud faced boy goes first.

It is the seat, I saw the shock of mean it gave him during that audition.

College dropping boy with parents in denial

His singing annoys me although much better than the other guy. I don't think he is worse than some of the people they let through.

Finally, we get a pair of 3-0 votes that make some sense.

The judges look like they're finally feeding on each other with verbal cues and Randy's pencil tapping.

First girl is pretty good.

Not bad, worthy of the ticket.

What's MySpace?

Brought her own microphone to talk into.

Won't stop singing.

SECURITY!

Ah, hah, there you are, twirling your baton.

Who's your man crush this season so far?

Scott Dangerfield. They think he looks goofy behind those glasses but goodness gracious, oh my sins, he's scrumptuous.

And a couple of the Randy Travis'essesssess.

But I don't start truly waking up until we get into some smaller numbers.

And I'm determined to pick a straight guy this year *eyeballs Estee*

But I've been watching all along, oh yes, I have.

And let's not be too surprised if Tyler visits for at least one night. *eyeballs Estee*

Why do you keep looking at me like that?

I'm pretty sure I'm not your type.

Either you have the anti-gaydar or being picked by you is the turning straw. Pick one.

My life's mission is to be a "turn"er. I have failed so far but I consider myself a go-get-'er.

ETA - I'm the worst speller ev.er

But I've been watching all along, oh yes, I have.

And eying the guys all along, oh yeah, you betcha. *silly, knowing grin*

Tynisha has her own invisible (but quite audible!) hook and off she goes!

It's a performance artises piece!

Sorry, but you'll never be able to convince me she didn't plan that and stage it as far as she could. That was an act. An effective act, and Steven even got the closing line off as an ad-lib -- but for her end, it was a scripted performance.

(Still funny, but scripted.)

How many extensions does girlfriend have that she can remove them and put a scarf on her head as if Ms Nibs has gone baldy?

She looks like she's dressed up for a fashion show in Abu Dhabi.

What does 'lack of golden tickets' mean in this context? Thirty-five?

How can a city based on talent be so lacking.

That was one of the best. Egad

The screen had it as 'Khazm', but it sounds like a Arabic dancing spell for the judges.

A model? Maybe. A belly dancer? Maybe. A singer? Judge fail.

Just have to put this out there - I started bellydancing lessons this week. Has nothing to do with AI but just wanted to share. What a hoot! Oh, and Shakira really doesn't have anything to worry about, natch.

I want to see the videos of this! Must see!

No videos but my crazy momma has already ordered scarves from Australia for me to practice. She's one loopy momma who just can't seem to break her affair with p.a.y.p.a.l.

All the amateurs go out for Survivor now.

He rids the bus to be green. uh huh....right.

MSFP raps some intro...twitch.

He represents millions of bunches of talented recording artists. I didn't know Toronto's mayor was auditioning. (I know that's a really regional comment so I forgive everyone who does not get it)

If MB got all the mactors, then what do we call this group?

I could smell the cheap cologne from here, and I don't think my HDTV broadcasts scents.

RELEASE THE KRACKEN!

I really need to go hide somewhere, quiet, very very quiet.

Yes, you really must, must finish the show. It's your destiny.

I know this peaceful little thread in S.Spoilers...

Oh, is that the one with the cute little kitten?

GAAAAAAAAAAH.

Make.it stop.
MakeitstopMakeitstopMakeitstopMakeitstopMakeitstopMakeitstopMakeitstop

*facepalm*

This is like attending a master's class in Epic Fail taught by an Epicfailecurean.

I find those recipes too hard.

Comes out slightly burnt, hmmM?

A burnt epic failure beats a burnt muffin. Just sayin'.

I guess what Estee is sayin' is that some of these folks are (burnt) toast.

...here comes the Dean!

They are kinda cute and I kinda like their singing.

They actually sounded like more than two voices. But I see them either going all all the way together or nowhere.

Yeah, they make a nice barber shop duo, but AI is about the one AI and I can't see either of them standing alone.

Hey guys, what's with the scarves over the t-shirts?

Fashion sense is way off (except in S. Asia), but these two feed on each other with a -- well, entertaining is a generous word -- performance. Judges pass them. I fail the judges.

or Arkansas?

he thinks he is 59.

*whimpers*
*fetal position*

Amazing. First time none of the judges explicitly say no, yet with their body language they convincingly and without question send this dude off.

*stretches Snidge back to standing*

You'll be okay sweetie. It's a little scary but they can't come through the TV. I promise. I learned that in therapy

*stretches Snidge back to standing*

*checks, yes, Snidge is still breathing*

Such are the hazards of hosting the AI ECST.

...it got him out of the cardboard box for the day.

Must have been embarrassingly under a thousand.

Wow, that entire hour was craptacular. Why did I watch? For the same reason people slow down to look when there's a traffic accident, I guess.

I know, right? I can't believe my first serious foray into AI this season was, was, was, this?! Although the padres were here through and through and made it bearable.

*starts dusting the chachkas around the Shoppe*

That was a waste of an hour. You'd think that LA would be full of talent.

But...I was happy to hear that Hollywood starts next week!

There's at least a minor undercurrent for calling this the worst audition episode in years. And when you consider the field that gives us to choose from...
