So what do y'all think of the auditions so far?
All I have to say is unless they aren't showing the real talent yet, we are in for a boring season. |

Anyone else watching?
What a sad story that first girl had about her dad dying while she was on her way to the audition. |

The earliest I watch the show is when they get to the final 12. Usually I don't bother tuning in until the last 2 or 3 are left though.

I don't usually watch this show much anymore - I watched a lot of the season with Clay & Ruben but none of the other ones. I sometimes tune in toward
the end, sometimes I watch a bit of the final 12, but I hate the audition shows. However, I did watch the Omaha auditions because that's near where I am so
I wanted to see how they portrayed the midwest. Thought that episode was okay and there were a few good singers. The problem is that that's all anyone
nowadays is - good. There's just not those big breakout, absolutely fantastic singers anymore. Everyone's just... okay. Good.
They did have the first guy who auditioned in Omaha, the one who wanted to do the red carpet stuff, on the local Fox news yesterday. Thought that was interesting that he actually got some feedback from that audition. Apparently he's going to be doing a few things - I forget now what they said he was doing though. |

ive been watchin via ff so far. the auditions i cannot watch anymore. i have opted to start paying attn during the hollywood elims. probly a good decision.
i really like the janis joplin type nurse, david archuletta and a couple of the spanish dudes. drama already tho - allegedly, archuletta and 'ireland' have / have had a contract. ireland has had album(s) out already. not sure if this all matters or not tho. if they dont have a contract now, what's the problem? |

ireland has had album(s) out already.I hears the girl from Ireland had an album out that didn't sell. I don't see how it should make any difference. Most of the finalists have been singing professionally. Daughtry had a bar band. Jennifer Hudson was a cruise ship singer. They have had wedding singers and vocal coaches and back up singers so what difference would it make if she recorded an album? |

i think the irish girl and the australian boy should go do idol in their own countries. it's not foreign accent idol. c'mon!!!
i was oddly satisfied when that one kid got booted. The boy who asked to do his audition without the band. AH HA!! he sounded terrible, but in his mind he thought he was a star. i like that little tiny girl with the big soulful voice. no idea what her name is...but i dig her. cher, super sad about the girl whose dad died. what was up with that one guy who kept talking about it being ok he got cut because he had to tend to his turkeys? |

oh..ya have me pegged, cher. I was feeling for him UNTIL he got so whiney the night before the audition.
all those kids stayed up late...and manged to make it through the practice session. he lost me when he was crying in the hallway trying to tell the vocal coach how to do her job. and you're right. total dumbass move dismissing the band. Have you seen randy's dance show? i kind of like that approach. They take NON pro dancers with no formal training...and they show us what they've got. i'd like american idol to be like that sometimes....the diamond in the rough singers, who get polished thru the audition process. |

So I guess this Danny Noriega guy is this seasons Sanjaya?
Not that I thought the 2 that went home had a snowballs chance in hell of making it but the Noriega kid should never have made the top 24. |

dang..why'd they have to go and kick off the girl whose father just passed away. i was soooo very sad for her last night. waaaa!
and i couldnt' stop laughing at danny. when i saw his "got kicked off" montage..i couldnt figure why he wants to be pete wentz . man..i'm not crazy about that skinny jean/fancy haircut/guy liner look he's going for...blech. he almost reminds me of Waldo.  
i'll never be able to hear "tainted love" the same way again...where did he learn those dance moves. |

It's very creepy how much this guy looks like Christian who won Project Runway.
Aside from that, but does anyone else think this season's judging has gone way off? I don't watch religiously or anything but the one episode I saw a week or so ago it was like the judges had stopped taking the competition seriously. Paula and Simon just played around and Randy didn't have much at all to say about anything. |

I don't even know why they keep Paula around. She makes no sense,rambles on and most viewers can't stand her.

Is anyone watching this season?
does anyone else think all David Archulettas songs sound just alike and he needs to go home? |

I am barely watching...basically I record it and fastforward through it. If I like the song and the way it's being done I listen but there have been times
that I have gotten through an episode in 10 minutes.
I really don't know the contestants but one of the guys from last week and this week I enjoyed...I think his name is David Cook...not sure. I loved what he did with the Mariah Carey song...that gave me chills. Other than that...I don't care.

In listening to the radio this morning, I heard someone talking about Jason something-or-other and how he was mouthing "don't vote" and that he
wanted to be off the tour and stuff. What's up with that guy?
They also played a clip of the kid who wanted on the red carpet and sent threatening letters to Fox and demanded all this stuff and apparently talked to Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy's getting him on the carpet. That was interestingly funny. |

David A has a great voice, but I can see how one would think they start sounding the same. I've only seen 2 results shows and the show with Neil Diamond
on it. David Cook is my fave and his version of MC's "Always Be My Baby" was awesome. I think he would definitely be a better Idol than David
A because of the way he styles his songs. They are something you could be hearing on the radio right now.
