It isn't the chair, she's not sitting in the Simon Chair, maybe she dyed one of his t-shirts purple.

I counted the number of times I would have walked out on her.

Then I counted the times I would have hit her.

Then I hit five digits and decided to start over.

Well at least they seem to have heard there once was a group called the Beatles, mostly.

Kid overhear telling another kid, "did you know Paul McCartney used to be in a band?"

Other kid replies, "Yeah, it was called Wings!"

Paul McCartney was on a sitcom with Tony Shaloub and Tim Daly? I didn't know he could act!

Looks like they'll be praising most of the night. We'll see what they really think when it comes down to the cut.

Can't oversing all the time. Sure you can, makes for better TV when you are crazy all the time.

Long and winding road

I'd rather have oversinging than the excessive vibrato.

"RE: Naima, Jason, Haley"
Posted by cahaya on 02-23-11 at 09:24 PM
Jason converses a lot more mellowly than he sings. I like his voice and passion, though. Again, he reminds me of Big Mike from before, but Jason seems more modest. The two ladies were pretty much supporting actresses, although they did ok. A few places there the notes didn't quite harmonize just right.

Not bad, not extraordinary either. I won't remember this performance when I wake up in the morning (or even later tonight after having heard all of them).

At least they're not butchering it. They must have had some pretty long practice sessions leading into tonight, by the looks and sound of it.

"RE: AI 10 Las Vegas Beatle Slaughter"

Ryan claims we just heard some great performances.

Ryan gets the big money because he can say things like that without ever listening to what's coming out of his mouth.

*chuckle* The 'just approached' part of that is right. Still... the rhythm was good and yeah, they looked like they were enjoying themselves. I'm not quite sure who was a bit off on the notes, maybe all of them.

I think that smoke might explain the judges reactions to the singers. Because stone cold sober I'm getting a very different opinion of the um vocal noises.

That's where Rob and I got married. But it was even cheesier They have "The tunnel of love" drive up window. We were on the back of his Harley at 4 in the morning and Elvis married us thru the drive-up window. No pleather was killed though.

Can't sing a note, but I know I can't sing a note. I know I sound like Gloria from Modern Family.

Yes, drive-up window. To get to the window you have to drive thru the tunnel that has clouds and cherubs painted all over it. Ultimate cheese. It was great!

Given that quite a few of us already know the twenty-four (excepting TV Guide, which still thinks it's twenty), the only reason to watch is for the doubletalk. And given the near-lethal Nigel/Ryan combo, I'm just a little sick of doubletalk.

Also, DTWS is openly recruiting Christine O'Donnell. I'm not having a good day.

Naima--Final Performance Put Your Records On.

Draging it out so she has plenty of time to cry. Go over the sob story. Sorry to say you made it through. Gack.

"RE: First to be tortured with the walk"
Posted by cahaya on 02-23-11 at 10:20 PM
Drag out is right. The whole long walk and long talk thing makes for just the opposite of suspense. I'm already thinking about what to have for lunch tomorrow.

It would serve them right if someone just casually strolled, maybe even danced with a few backward jogs down that walk, taking their good old sweet time.

"Next set of torturees"
Posted by Snidget on 02-23-11 at 10:25 PM
Holly--crying girl in the auditions. Final auditions clip
How many times did they make her walk that, or did they play parts of that over and over.

She is being pumped up by the judges, so that means she has to go. J. Lo. Outvoted and has to let everyone know.

I hate that extra long walk already.

Not alone in the nos. Lakeisha is a no. Alex Ryan also cut.
Are they going to have them all cry for all the noes.

Clint, gosh so much recappage. Final performance, Hello (Lionel Richie). How many pairs of bad glasses does this dude own? He is in.

Coming up the long walk continues.

"RE: Next set of torturees"
Posted by cahaya on 02-23-11 at 10:28 PM
For once, I was distracted by more than his glasses. My eyes, my eyes, those shoes!

They looked like a cheap pair of orange Converse canvases.

"RE: Next set of torturees"

If this was the real Long Walk, they'd take all but one of them and shoot them in the head. As is, I'm currently watching a spectacular battle: grass growing versus paint drying. Who will win? Only the inside of my eyelids knows for sure.

Posted by Snidget on 02-23-11 at 10:36 PM
Haley, stumbled in groups. Sang for life, well Growled more for her life. Hey it worked in the solo at the end of Hollyweird. She is a Yes.

DeAndre, one of the Minors. Ukelele for his sing for his life solo.

Can this show drag on any more...blah blah blah, gosh when the judges talk all I hear is the Charlie Brown Wah Wah Wah Wah.

DeAndre is going.

Gosh is the pretaping because Nigel has to train these judges how to shorten it up and knows he is going to have to edit the carp out of them the first couple of "live" shows.

Chris Medina, James Durbin, Jacee all being foreshadowed. How many times can they show the same 10 seconds of J. Lo's break down?

Deandre was one guy the spoilers weren't too clear on, although it looked like he was out once twelve guys were on the IN list even if he wasn't on the OUT list. I still had my hopes up for him with his unique voice.

For shame. They dropped this guy in favor of the Gumboy?

Not one of the promoed people. Paul MacDonald...Carnation Suit?

In the top 24.

VFTW may have it's next white guy with a guitar to back, especially if he keeps wearing the bizarre suits.

Ashton Jones. Wake me when they make the decision. Package, Wait I think I have Judges Say it way too often Bingo!!!!
She is in the top 24.

Promo Medina, and well as others, and another time of the same 3 seconds of meltdown.

He is not in the top 24 (and the dance party on VFTW is going to crash the server in 3...2...)

J. Lo. Melt Down.

"Judges"
Posted by realworld10 on 02-24-11 at 10:09 AM
I am really liking this panel of judges. There is no snarkiness (read meanness). There is no weirdness (love Paula - but some of her antics were hard to watch).
These three are really into finding a performer. You can tell by watching they are really taking the time and are serious about their job.
Love Jennifer's compassion, Steven is just fine, and Randy has calmed the "yo, yo, dog" thing.
Can't wait for the live shows!!!
"RE: Judges"
Posted by JessicaRN on 02-24-11 at 12:18 PM
I agree with you about the judges. I totally lost interest last season and wasn't impressed when the new judges were announced, but I have been enjoying this season. I think having Nigel back has helped also.
