"American Idol- the final 32!" |
All right, so we've narrowed it down. Not enough in my opinion, several primadonnas got to stick around who shouldn't have. But it was nice to see them attempt a bit of a storyline this time instead of just constant shots of them rehearsing and auditioning.An interesting note this time: the judges at least seem to be more willing to overlook "style" and go more with substance. People like Clay, Frenchy, and Patrick would never have made it to the final 30 last year. It's nice to see them look more at the voices and not so much at the "look". Too many "pretty" people made it last year, this year we've got a bit more diversity at least. Some early thoughts- I really like Patrick, the big rocker guy. Kind of looks like a heftier James Hetfield. He also sounds like he can do more of a "pop" style if necessary, but may have trouble with the "retro" nights. Maybe this year's Nikki? Clay surprised me. When I saw him, my first thought was that he was another of those blasted Weasleys.  But DAMN. Boy's the Jim Nabors for the New Millenium. This year's Jim? Hercules guy is really going to be hurt by how old he looks. I just don't see how you can make him look even close to his real age. Joshua reminds me of a pro wrestler. He's a little stiff, but hey, he's a friggin marine. Hopefully he can loosen up, he's got a good look. Frenchie is going to be fun to watch, I think. She's not going to make it to the final 10 I think, but she could easily be this years Ta-Mi-Ka. Still too early to pick a winner, though. If I recall, Kelly was pretty much hidden through the first few episodes and we all know what happened to her.  I agree with Simon though, the talent level is much higher this year than last year, and I think we're in for a good ride. On a side note, a friend of mine actually auditioned for AI2, but never made it to Simon & co. I'm guessing they do two auditions, one for generic judges, and then the very best and very worst make it to the "real" judges for TV purposes.

I know that the show is enamored with the Adams kid, what little we saw of him on this episode, was nothing special. The drama with the two girls, the blonde and the boobalicious one, sorry I forget their names, was a lot of fun. All these storylines were great. One observation though, I few of the kids that we saw in auditions were not seen again. Like the shirt guy from yesterday's show. Which we could have seen them. >On a side note, a friend

> I'd really hope so, along with the big guy who wore the old-school Braves cap and football jersey. The more plus-size people we get in there, the happier Mrs. Malfoy and I will be. My comparison to Ta-MI-Ka comes in attitude. She could definitely be kept by the producers to fill the same role, only 10 times more fabulous. But she seems to have found another niche as well, playing "Momma" to a lot of the contestants. >I know that the show is

> That happened a LOT. The problem is you're doing a reality TV show with 5 billion characters, most of whom will be irrelevant by the end of the 2nd week. But you're right, I honestly have no clue if this guy made it or not. Same with the Ryan clone. *shiver* >Overall I think the final 32

With a final 12, the judges get no wild cards this year. But they seem to kind of be winging it as they go anyways, the commercials kept mentioning a final 32, but I noticed several times during the actual show they mentioned only a final 30.

The audience that votes on this show are mostly young girls, and he's not at all pretty. BUT, I personally agree with you, he is one of the most deserving to be there.

I believe the military said that he was going to be in it for the duration of the show. His platton is still at Camp Pendleton. There have been rumors that his platoon is still here BECAUSE this kid is on the show. The military denies it.
They did say that if the platoon is called, that is WOULD go, but would leave without this kid, the military has committed to having him on the show, because he brings them great press, best type of recluitment commercial for them. > But she seems to

You know, I agree. I just can't picture from where. Where the hell's "The Smoking Gun" when you need them? >Is it 10 or 12?
>I'm assuming we're going with

But the minute they have him singing "Yvan eht nioj", I quit.
DRACO! Everyitme I see that episode of the Simpsons, that song stays in my head for 3 or 4 days. Want to take a guess what song is playing in my head right now?  \ I agree about Frenchie. She does have an awesome voice. That girl can flat out sing, and she looks great. I would love to see her go very far in this show. The blonde does look familiar. I just can't place her. The rock-n-roll guy, does anyone else think he would do a great job with some Springsteen material? I'd love to hear him try. The talent level is better this time around. Lucky, lucky us!

Of course he liked her, she's boobielicious Oh yeah, and she can actually sing too.

She might be overweight, but someone with her talent and presence CANNOT be ignored. I think she will make the final 10 and then get out of her way, I think she might actually win this thing. I honestly do believe this.

Of course he liked her, she's boobielicious Oh yeah, and she can actually sing too. Since he's a professional singer, the voice is what matters to him. I have seen him ridicule many a boobilicious babe (or even turn the channel) if she can't sing. Yes, he's a breast man, but he's ultrasensitive about the singing stuff. The thing about Frenchie is that, this woman DOES have a look. She has presence and for a singer that is key. Yup, she does. She has a lot more polish and presence than some of those folks who looked like they had just gotten out of bed. But last year, the judges wouldn't have given her the chance she deserves and decided not to take her because she didn't have the "look".
