I am Katy, Brad’s nemesis wife. I can’t say that I will be any nicer than he will this season of American Idol but I can’t wait for this exciting chance to blog head to head against him. While we probably won’t agree on many things tonight, I most certainly won’t be playing the touchy feely role of Paula to his hard ass Simon. Live Blogging of American Idol begins at 8:00 Eastern.
Okay we start out with a retrospective featuring past Idol auditions, good and bad. I may have squeed a little for Clay. And Jordin. And of course my boy Cook.
Whooooooo, Cook interview. *pout* I wanted more Cook. At least I have his CD in my laptop, so I can listen to it. *G*
We start out the night in Phoenix, Arizona., home of Season six winner, Jordin Sparks. We get introduced to the new judge Kara. Yeah, I think I’m going to be really frank and snarky. If you can’t handle this, please don’t read.
Twon, with the hair, please honey, don’t dance. He was doing well until he hit the chorus. And it’s a solid no from all four judges.
Emily Hughes, her mom was a singer. She’s got the rock look going for her. She did Barracuda well. A hard song to sing without music. She’s through to Hollywood.
Randy, the rocker in a box. Livin on a Prayer, the song Cook auditioned with. I totally agree with Simon, that he’s a drama queen. And we get the first argument between the judges. And he’s not going on. I’m not sorry dude, but rocker’s don’t cry.
JB Afhua has a very strong clear voice. And he’s through.
Michael Gurr. He’s very nervous. yeah, no. Bye-bye. And they torture him by making him sing again. Good riddance.
And a montage of really bad singers. Please spare me. I’m so very glad that they aren’t focusing on them too much this year.
Andre Carroway aka X-ray. He has way too much energy. Yeah, he’s special. Bye bye.
Arianna Afsar- she maybe 16 but she’s got a good voice. And she’s active in her community. Which had Simon snarking at Paula. Four yesses, so she’s through.
Nine others got through. I hope they’re all as good.
Elijah Scarlett. OMG his voice! But can it trnaslate into singing? Not well. Trying to tackle Barry White isn’t working for him, not without the music. Bye-bye.
Lea Marie. OMG!!!1111!!!!! Please. Spare me. Can I puke now??? Okay she can sing, a little. She just needs to tone down the squeeing fangirl if she wants to go on.
Stevie Wright. Tackling the great Etta James. Ohhh, goosebumps. She’s only 16, wow. But she’s through.
Michael Sarver, a roughneck. WOW. I love him. He’s totally through! I look forward to seeing more of him.
Another montage of bad singers.
Bikini Girl aka Katrina Darrell. I think she made Ryan blush. Simon isn’t looking at her. She has a half-way decent voice. Simon and Randy say yes. Kara is dissing her. And she disses back. Here’s the girl fight Brad has been waiting for. She’s through. Somehow I don’t see her surviving Hollywood week. She got to kiss Ryan.
Sexual Chocolate. Is he begging to be teased? Eric Thomas takes on Stevie Wonder. He fails but he gets a car from his mom. I want his mom.
Quick montage of failed singers.
Brianna Quijada. She sure is peppy. People you need to learn to stop when the judges say stop!!! Somehow she gets through.
Deanna Brown. I like her for appropraiting other people’s families. And I love her bluesey voice. Hollywood for her!
Cody Sheldon. Is he this season’s Sanjaya wannabe? Huh, a pretty decent voice sends him on.
Alex Wagner-Trugman. He’s tall, gangly and nerdy. But he can so sing. He goes on.
And a montage of people butchering “Wanted, Dead or Alive”. This poor Bon Jovi fan’s ears can’t stand it.
Scott MacIntyre, aka the blind contestant. Will his disability be a way in? I hope not. I like his voice. He’s through to Hollywood! Yay!
That’s all for this episode. Tune in tomorrow for more snark and goosebumps. This is just the start to crowning a new American Idol.
