American Idol 2-06-07

[Stormspace]

OMG! Did you see the door scenes? And was that "Just my Justice" with a ticket?

Remember her from episode 1 trying to sing Prince's "Kiss" and couldn't remember the words. All the judges said no, yet there she is with a ticket. And yes, I did review the first show and the serial number was the same as was the outfit.

[uncdrew]

I liked the dude who was polite and graceful, but asked if he could talk trash on his exit to save rep.

:up:

Funny.

Also like his support and love for his cousin.





As far as hawties, a bit low. I liked the country gal with "fashion". My wife said, "yeah, she's got country fashion".

Like we didn't know, but Simon really controls these first rounds. If Paula said "let's bring her back in, I liked her" the two men wouldn't change their minds. Seems that when Simon votes first, the others agree.


Ok, train wrecks are over, right? I'm ready to see who studies their lines and who parties away their chances of fortune and fame.

[bqmeister]

The scary guy with the monotone voice (the one that should've been singing from a dark bedroom) was actually quite good. He needs to work a bit, but he has a very good voice.

[pdhenry]

I think there's one more night of train wrecks - tomorrow night.

[jradford]

I liked the sign one of the contestants family brought:

"Kimberly (I think) , Are next Americon Idol!"

[spikedavis]

"Simon needs to-Where's he from? France?"

"He's British"

"He needs to go back to British!"

[David Platt]

Wow. That cameltoe looked painful.

[David Platt]

Oh, and I almost forgot:

"Jasmine's Are American Idol"

:D

[JLucPicard]

And at the end of all those 'other door' scenes, Paula does the same thing! LOL

[JETarpon]

Yeah, The "Jasmine's Are American Idol"/"British" was pretty funny. And that cameltoe was so big, it was more like a moose knuckle. And then she called Randy fat. Hahahaha.

[Kablemodem]

I thought the girl with the lowcut black dress had a smokin' body.

[Jesda]

I thought the girl with the lowcut black dress had a smokin' body.

Would tap.

[smickola]

I thought the girl with the lowcut black dress had a smokin' body.

She sure did. I think her name was Haley...between her and the "fashion country girl" Bailey they were two of the hottest so far. Haley & Bailey!

The highlight of these audition shows for sure. He was great. :up:

[Cearbhaill]

The cousins- the first sang Amazing Grace badly?
I just know he came along to give support to his cousin who could sing, but looked so shy and tentative. Bless the first guy for being willing to make a fool of himself on television just so his cousin would have the nerve to audition. That's a real friend.

[jradford]

Oh, and I almost forgot:

"Jasmine's Are American Idol"

:D
A semi-smeek? I had the name wrong, though, so judges say?

[rich]

"Simon needs to-Where's he from? France?"

"He's British"

"He needs to go back to British!""Simon had to leave soon to catch his flight back to British..."

[MassD]

Bless the first guy for being willing to make a fool of himself on television just so his cousin would have the nerve to audition. That's a real friend.

I know... I noticed that too... That was cool. You could tell that the second cousin was this close to being frozen in fear/shyness. He may very well not have had the nerve to go there if not for Amazing Grace going with him. When they asked him who was better, he instantly said his cousin. You could tell by the look on his face that he was just there for support.

That was cool... really cool. It's always great to see when people have someone to have their back like that.

And I got a real kick out of how he 'represented' as he left the room. That was pretty funny.

The local Fox news here reported that the cousin received a call from American Idol telling him they weren't going to let him come to Hollywood. He wasn't told why, but revealed that he did have an arrest in his past for marijuana possession. He said he revealed this at the initial audition, so that may or may not be why he's not going.


And the first cousin made us think of Patrick from SpongeBob.

[bruinfan]

two comments on this:

1. I could not stop laughing at her facial expressions. She made a square shape with her lips that was very odd... which, like paula said (I can't believe i'm actually agreeing with paula :eek: takes away from her voice. And then when they bring her back, and she is trying so hard not to do it... I was cracking up even more.

2. So right about simon and his control. it's funny when randy and paula change their opinions based on simon's. there was one time in a previous ep where randy did his shake head, deep breath like he didn't like it... then he goes to simon, who liked it, and then randy says, yeah i liked it... when you could tell he was going to say he didn't like it.

it doesn't always happen, but it happens.


I LOVED the last guy (the last good guy), the black dude with the reuben vibe. He makes the final 12. write it down.

When did Marijuana possession became a career killer?

[spikedavis]

right-look at Paul Mcartney or Willie Nelson!

That girl, Alysha, or whatever her name was, had a nice voice and was cute, which made her deserving to move on.

I think Randy and Paula sometimes try to guess what Simon will say and then go along with that. In this case, I think they both assumed that Simon would say no based on the strange expressions. They forgot the good voice/cute factor, which overrides the rest for Simon.

I liked Haley and Bailey a lot. Probably liked Haley a little more, but Bailey is kind of a Hillary Duff clone who could get some sort of gig somewhere in entertainment.

[aindik]

Don't MAKE me come back in here!

[KyleLC]

That girl, Alysha, or whatever her name was, had a nice voice and was cute, which made her deserving to move on.I'm rooting for her because she's from my home town.

[Stormspace]

So, how did "just my justice" get a ticket after the judges told her no? Anyone heard?

[jsmeeker]

I don't think Simon is in charge. At least, not Simon Cowell. I'm convinved the thing with bringing "funny face" girl back was 100% staged/setup by the producers in advance. Told Paula and Randy to say no and to have Simon say he would ahve said yes. Then have Simon convince them they need to bring her back in. She comes back in. They all say yes. A total setup.

[PJO1966]

When they were telling the girl she made weird faces and couldn't go on, I was wondering if they'd ever seen Jessica Simpson sing. The facial affectations and contortions that one inflicts on those watching haven't hurt her career much.

[979hkz]

That girl did make weird faces though.
She's very pretty, but I had to look away when she started singing. The judges were 100% correct on that one.

[dirtypacman]

Great episode for the laugh factor.... you hit all the funniest points with the posts above so I don't have much to add but looking forward to getting to the real auditions for the cast.

So the cousin who COULD sing, couldn't come to Hollywood? Or the Amazing Grace cousin can't come to Hollywood?

[tivoboyjr]

Pretty sure the deal is that the one who can sing and was invited to Hollywood was un-invited due to some issues with his criminal record.

Switching gears, what is the deal with the way Randy says "Good lookin' out?" He says it the way someone would say "take it easy" or "thanks for stopping by."

I've always known that to mean "thanks for watching my back." As in you're looking out for someone, and they're telling you "good job." I've never heard it used the way Randy is using it.

I've never heard it used the way Randy is using it.I'd never heard it before at all, but I interpret it as "you're on your way out, and you're looking good while doing so". I could be entirely wrong.

The facial affectations and contortions that one inflicts on those watching haven't hurt her career much.A blogger for the Houston Chronicle also wondered if they'd ever seen Jennifer Holliday sing.

[Mr. Soze]

Paula: You don't have to apologize to us.
Simon: She does a little.

LMFAO!

[mitchb2]

Wow. That cameltoe looked painful.

Exactly. That's what they were cracking up about. After the family started dumping on them, the judges should have come out and told them the truth.

[Bondelev]

two comments on this:

1. I could not stop laughing at her facial expressions. She made a square shape with her lips that was very odd...

She looked like she had been trained by a beauty pagent contestent who told her to "smile" all the time, even when singing. That just doesn't happen naturally.

[bruinfan]

Another time I cracked up:

the one chick who slurred all her words, who sang for the mayor of Houston... first off, she sings funny... it's amazing how many ways bad singers manifest... that's why it never gets old for me..

anyhoo... when simon is about to rail on her..."let me ask you something, was that serious?" and then she starts crying... and you could see simon just get all awkward, like damn, it's not funny anymore, i have to stop... and he wants to crack more jokes, but he starts feeling bad for her...

I've been in that situation where you are making a joke, and it turned all serious and the person didn't take it as a joke, and you feel all awkward...

that cracked me up.

When I was at UCLA, class of 95, many people were using that phrase... all the blacks, that is... and anyone who was speaking ebonics.

that, and audi 5000

ah, memories.

[newsposter]

why was simon playing with his boobies in such a perverted way while talking to that one girl? They worry about wardrobe malfunctions but not this disgusting act?

[MFruchey]

I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that...It was actually quite shocking.

[Figaro]

That's just how they relax over in "British".

[MFruchey]

Oh, by the way, pretty sure the woman who wanted Simon to go back to "British" said, "Where is he from? French?" and not "Where is he from? France?" Which, of course, makes it all the more funny. Hey, at least she's consistent.

Our local affiliate also ran the story about that guy's marijuana possesion incident costing him the trip to Hollywood. But they also mentioned 'Funny Face Girl'.. she got called back for a second chance and was given the Golden Ticket. But it was all for nothing.. they took back the offer since she has a conviction in her past as well. Something to do about putting sugar in her ex-boyfriend's gastank.
Oh the drama.. :)

[astrohip]

the one chick who slurred all her words, who sang for the mayor of Houston...
That was such an odd claim to fame. For all we know, she was a performer at a rubber-chicken lunch banquet for the Sisters of the Little Brain Charity, and the mayor happened to attend. Such a reach to brag "I sang for a mayor" :confused:

I wonder if there will be any explanation at all once they get to Hollywood. Both of those contestants were pretty likeable and got a LOT of airtime. I was ready to root for the cousin guy, for sure. Now we won't see either in Hollywood and I doubt the viewers will get any explanation.

[Figaro]

When are they finally going to bust Paula and send her home for obvious drug possession?

[newsposter]

and flirting with young boys...how the judges drool over some of these kids is a bit nuts

[getreal]

I think Randy and Paula sometimes try to guess what Simon will say and then go along with that.
It's been said here a few times already, but it was very obvious to me as well that Randy and Paula are pretty easily swayed by Simon's judgments.

Rumor here at work is that Ebony (tall good looking Black singer who was part of the three girls who sang last night) has some issues in her past as well. Something about some work she did for the Chicago Blitz (old football league) dancing in her underware. Or something like that ;)

[laststarfighter]

"American Idol" should give these ex-cons another shot. I assume they paid their debt to society. That is supposed to be the American way after all.

This is the same on job applications. They always ask if you ever been convicted of a felony. They also state that they would never hold that against the job applicant but they always do.

Since it's America, the producers of the show (those British guys), have the right to decide who makes it and who does it.

I do hope we get to see more of Ebony. She was good - in so many ways.

[newsposter]

anyone notice how randy seems to always be the first to talk to certain people

Nice thought in theory - in pratice it just isn't that way. And I do believe companies have every right not to hire convicted felons if they don't want to. Banks, for instance, are not allowed to hire people with certain felony convictions - or face the possibility of 7 figure fines.

There is a pretty good sized pot of gold at the end of the American Idol rainbow, and I think the producers are well within their rights to weed people out that may wind up harming the product in the long run.
