Was anyone else amused by the fact that they held the auditions at the racetrack? That was kinda cool.
That said. I cannot wait for the audition rounds to be over. I feel like it's such a waste of my time. There were a few potentials last night. I just can't wait to see them hash it out in the all new Hollywood week! I wonder how that's gonna go.
The girl at the very end Leneshe Young could go far! She's sweet and talented.
I get a little bit annoyed when I find out that people who are auditoning have already had A. a recording contract or B. been a contestant on another show. Brent Keith was part of Nashville Star season 2. Now he's a cutie and his specialty is Country music and that is right up my alley... BUT - isn't this show supposed to be about making a super star out of someone who wouldn't have had a chance another way... Like Carrie Underwood. She was a small town girl who had never left Oaklahoma before trying out for Idol. I guess I'm just craving that kind of incredible everytime.

Well! The past two episodes have been extremely lackluster "If I'm being honest".
I was excited to see Jason Castro make a cameo last week and I'm very interested to see how far his brother gets. Sometimes you really are born with talent. Seems like that family has got the looks and talent genes.
Last night's episode was almost unbearable for me. Like I've said before I'm not a huge fan of the auditons. I am not generally amused with unbelievablely bad singers or the sob stories and begging that seems to go along with them. I'm also quite surpirsed at how many mediocre singers they are showing getting through to Hollywood. Now its obvious that they can't show everyone who makes it through in the Audition episodes... but PLEASE give me something to get excited about.
Watching the judges interact with each other is always interesting. Seems like even the new girl can't deal with Simon and his negativity... I always thought it was just Paula being overly senstive! But, clearly he is a bit of a tool!
Lets hope tonight's episode rocks! :) Until tomorrow friends...

It's that time again!
New year, new season of American Idol. I can't believe it's the 8th season. I've been a die hard American Idol fan since Season 2. (I wanted Clay to win!) I was quite pleased with David Cook's victory last year and have enjoyed watching him flourish! But, remember what a tool he was in the very begining?! Haha. Gotta love the process and the journey from January to May. Here we go again! Lets talk season 8!
After the first episode last night here are some thoughts.
Judges:
Simon was as loveable as ever!
Paula looked fantastic but still acts a little nutty sometimes, eh?
Randy was wearing so much makeup! Did you notice when he turned his head that his face was a different color than his neck? I found that to be quite amusing!
New Girl! Producer/Songwriter Kara DioGuardi was likeable. I totally had to agree with her a few times and it's really good to have a fresh perspective.
Contestants:
There were only a few standouts for me. At this stage of the competition it seems like they just try to keep it amusing for the audition episodes. Is it just me or are the bad ones actually getting kind of annoying and seemingly more and more contrived. The montage of all the bad singer at the end singing Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi was awful. I actually felt bad for them. Humilating. I wonder if Idol pays them or they do it willingly just for the face time on national televison.
The stand outs for me were 16 year old Arrianna Asfar who was adorable and sweet and had a Colbie Calliat type voice and vibe. She's the type of person you want to root for and I could see her doing well. Saving the best for last with Scott McIntyre a singer-songwriter who was born almost completely blind. He's another one you want to root for because he's at such a disadvantage and that obviously isn't holding him back. He's got skills with the piano and a pretty voice. Can't wait to see how far he goes.
Worst of the Worst?
A girl in a bikini trying out for American Idol is definately asking for attention. (ok, what idol audtioner is not attention seeking) But, this girl was just annoying right off the bat. She was a mediocre singer and Simon and Randy put her through just because the enjoyed seeing her in next to nothing. How rediculous. New judge Kara decided to take it to another level by actually calling her out on her so-so singing. Bikini girl gives skinny girls a bad rap. I will be incredibly surprised if she makes it beyond the Hollywood rounds.
The other one that got to me was the crying rock star. Such a poser. He really wants to be a rockstar so he dresses the part. He can sing well... kinda. He's actually pretty bad and the judges say so (ever so nicely) and he begs for a chance anyway. Tears up... so pathetic.
Kansas City tonight. Lets hope for some real talent for that is what it's all about folks.
