Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-14-09, 09:36 AM (EST) "Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" For keeping an eye on the machinations of the producers: who they're promoting, who they choose to shove in our faces, and who just gets given the full 'Oh, Archie!' treatment. We've already been pointedly told that one contestant should make the top five: it'll only get more blatant from here.

"RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" I was very unimpressed with the first stop. Some were okay, but no "great" performances. I liked the last one (they guy with the sight problem), the rough kneck, the rocker girl. But other than that, they were just pretty meh.   Top

"RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" LAST EDITED ON 01-14-09 AT 10:17 AM (EST) Those were the three that I liked as well. Bikini girl isn't going to make it very far..or knowing my luck she'll be the next Sanjaya. Edited to add: They seemed to focus on the rough neck, Bikini girl and the last guy who auditioned a lot... Another brilliant Tribephyl creation   Top

"RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" LAST EDITED ON 01-24-09 AT 02:22 AM (EST) They're going to pimp Joanna hard. If she doesn't win, she will have a hilarious meltdown. Neither she nor her stage mother could stand that she got fired from "Annie," so I doubt she would take the entire nation's rejection very well!   Top

"RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" To me, Scott's audition is an uncommon enough event that it was going to be featured no matter how it went. If he'd stunk, he would have gotten a fairly mild sympathy edit. As-is, we're probably looking at Hail The Possibly-Conquering Hero all the way to the Top 36, plus one full hair makeover.   Top

"RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" LAST EDITED ON 01-14-09 AT 10:59 PM (EST) --Jason Castro's brother--Jason and his family rooting him on back story. --The India/Asia sisters--India? made it. Big sister rooting for her sister back story. --Daniel J...the music teacher. Sang Heard It Through the Grapevine. Judges: "The best we heard so far". The recent passing of his wife backstory...is there any way this guy isn't in the top 12? Is it just me or is there a lot more music and sound effects accompanying the contestants this time? For example, they played "How To Safe A Life" as Daniel left the room and was jubilant about winning a ticket to Hollywood. Seems overreaching and overproduced...but again this is my least favorite part of the show. Wish we saw only talented people at this stage. I have not watched that much of the two programs--just hopscotching through them because I do not like this part at all--all the junk that is put through for ratings, egging the poor auditioners on, letting them think they may have a shot when the producers know they are awful... ETA: just fast forwarded through more of the show and saw there was backstory and praise for the Memphis singer...compared to Fantasia/Mary J. Blige...retro...best so far comments again...and then she exits with excitement to see her family and Fantasia's "Waiting for this moment to arrive/I Beleive" plays her off...yep, a lot of music being used to lead our thinking this year. I probably missed some tonight because I went through the program so fast--who else? I am counting on the auditions being on Youtube or some AI fan site...so I think I can catch up later after they reduce the numbers a bit.   Top

zazzy 4390 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 01-15-09, 12:16 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" Oh, yes, of course I want to know! Anyone else? Do we need to separate thread to discuss plants since it is spoilerish or is this thread ok to discuss them? Thanks, Em!   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-15-09, 12:24 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" I think my contestant spoiler thread would be a good place for that kind of discussion. http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID44/2639.shtml   Top

Estee 57126 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-15-09, 12:25 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" Plants are a subcategory of producer manipulation -- but personally, I think it's distinct enough for its own thread.   Top

zazzy 4390 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 01-15-09, 01:29 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Pre-competition pimp tracker thread" I'll follow whatever you all decide. I saw that Geekboy had posted in Snidget's contestant spoiler thread and I thought he did not like spoilers--so wherever you all want is fine. I just remembered that a friend's daughter's friend's sister made it through to Hollywood and I have not inquired yet about whether she made it any further or even where she auditioned. Time to get a spoiler!   Top

mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-24-09, 09:42 PM (EST) 15. "The next Carly" This article/blog rant is enlightening about the appearance of not-so-amateurish auditioners: Like Carly, Joanna is a former child entertainer--a moderately talented, moderately pretty girl aggressively groomed from an early age to be a big pop star. And like Carly, who ended up getting dropped from MCA and becoming a waitress, things also didn't work out for Joanna quite as she or her Svengalis (among them Geffen Records honcho and frequent reality-TV figure Ron Fair) had planned. Despite appearances on the movie soundtracks for Legally Blonde, Nancy Drew, and Bratz, and having one of her songs covered by Britney Spears, Joanna's one album for Geffen/A&M, This Crazy Life, was a flop. Just like Carly's Ultimate High. Joanna (as she used to be singularly named) was dropped from A&M in 2007. I can't say I'm at all surprised that Joanna's career did not take off. This Crazy Life, while capably sung, was a very generic album, hardly a vehicle for the next supposed superstar. I actually remember, surprisingly vividly, when some people from her label came by the Yahoo! Music office a few years ago to play Joanna's music video for the staff, in hopes of getting us all pumped up. They talked Joanna up excitedly for about 20 minutes, like she was Madonna, Janet, and Mariah all rolled into one, before they finally played us....this: <insert crappy video> The silence in the Yahoo! conference room was deafening. I was not impressed, and judging by my co-workers' lack of feedback, I assumed they agreed with me. And I was equally unimpressed with Joanna's audition on American Idol this week. It turns out that Joanna's short-lived tenure with A&M/Geffen wasn't her first career setback: Her firing from the touring company of Annie, when she was just 12 years old, was apparently such a psyche-destroying blow, it became the subject of an in-depth Barbara Walters report. http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/123306/is-joanna-pacitti-the-next-carly-smithson A Slice of Manga   Top
