American Idol Season 9

It starts tomorrow.  I don't usually watch til they have the Top 20 (or I guess it's Top 26 now?) but I'm going to watch from the start this year.  I want to see how many guys are going to come in wearing eyeliner and nail polish figuring that's all they need to get in.

I have mixed feeling about this show.  I've actually never been a fan.  It's a bit like GW.  I like to watch the train wreck, I guess.  Besides Cliff watches it so it echos through the house even if I don't want to watch it.  Watching Adam was the only time I actually enjoyed the show.

 

I'm guessing there will be a lot of eyeliner.  Blue, you're going to miss Paula won't you?

lol  Not for a second.   I'll miss Simon a bit, if he leaves, but I won't miss Paula at all.  I don't like his rudeness, but he did give constructive criticism.

Wasn't that a great season?!   We won't have one like that again.

I, didn't find the Adam season better than any other. I heard that Paula is going to be asked to join the new show that Simon is starting in 2011. Interesting, isn't it? I guess they really are friends after all. Personally, i'd rather watch a show where age is not a stipulation.

It was the best, blue!  They had people watching that never watched before, but I doubt they keep their interest without him.  Sash, It would be better if they let everyone try out.

Everyone was raving about last season.  Adam sure kept it interesting! 

Well, lets watch again this year.  Maybe it will be another GW and we can at least find someone to laugh at.   A contestant, I mean, now that Paula has left.   And remember, DON'T tell Jennie who you like!

If only we could have kept her finger off the phone last season, Adam would have won.   Then maybe he would have put out a good album.

I forgot Ellen is a judge now!  It'll be interesting to see how that turns out.

so far its been not so good.  I can't believe that they let that pretty girl in the blue tank top through.  She was awful but they always let some like that through I guess.  She'll make it to the top 12 even if she stinks.

I had to tune out for the first hour (I'll catch it on the later feed).  I really liked Tyler. (Is Jennie still tending her chickens?  )

I think they let the last guy through on personality.  The guy from Codzilla.

Did you catch the guy that Kara wants to spank?  What's up with that?  He seemed a bit moody and fit the character of just about every stalker/psycho on tv but when Kara said he needed to be spanked...That was weird!

No, I'll have to look for him when I watch the first hour later. 

Ok girls, we have to keep voting Justin in.  Even if he sang like doggy doo doo, I'd vote for him, just to look at him.

Adam's.  lol   It was Michael Bublé's.   Yes, that's him.  I don't know who originally sang Feeling Good.  I think it was from a musical.  But I like Michael Bublé's version.

Didn't Adam pick it from the brat pack week?  I think Sammy must have done a version too.  Oh ok..  hmmm  We may be on opposite sides here

There were probably a lot of versions.  I could listen to anything Michael Bublé sings.  I love his voice.  It's not spectacular like Adam's, but it's unique.

Opposite?  You don't like Justin?  Or is it Michael Bublé you don't like?

Found some info on the song.  A lot have covered it!

Ok, I just saw him. {{{shudder}}} I agree with Kara.  Well, not about the spanking, lol  but about wanting a shower after seeing him.  His exit especially was one of the creepiest things I've seen in a while.

creepy is right but it's like she was disgusted & turned on at the same time.  She's a freak.

 

Michael Bublé isn't trying for Idol   I wouldn't eat a steak with Justin.

 

There was a girl in the beginning that they didn't show much because she's a bit dumpy (not a package deal) but she had a powerful voice.

I didn't see her as turned on.  She was ranting at him almost from the beginning.  I do think she overreacted though. You're going to get weirdos up there, control yourself.  Maybe the whole thing was staged.

lol  Oh, okay, you were comparing to other Idols.  I like both their versions, but for that song I prefer Michael Bublé's.

I don't remember her, and I didn't notice the pretty girl in the tank top you mentioned.  Was she one of the ones they just showed quickly or did they actually show her full audition?

That's not saying much since you're vegetarian.   How can you not like him?  Those eyes!  You have weird tastes.  I think you like the creepy guy.

You know, last night I thought it was staged too.  They gave him way too much attention.

Angry Clark Kent – He seemed to be putting on an act, complaining
about waiting three hours to perform.  I call bogus because that
doesn’t include the 12 hours everyone had to wait the first day.  If
this guy could suck it up for 12 hours in the rain he’s not really
crying about waiting in the air-conditioned lobby for three hours is
he?  Bring a book, dude. 

 

Anyhow, Angry Clark had a bad attitude and gets into a big-**** contest with Kara, so he's instantly my favorite Idol this season.  Simon teases us by saying he would’ve voted yes. Maybe Simon has finally developed musical taste.  Nah, just kidding. 
They wasted 20 minutes of show on this turd.  Kara: “You need a
spanking... And I'm just the Whorish, Sex-Obsessed Gilf to do it." 
Jeez, she wants to sleep with EVERYBODY, and she didn’t even like him.

Is that guest spot going to be filled with the same person each week or will we have a new guest judge tonight?  That could make a big difference in how boring it is.  I agree last night was so dull!  I sat there and reviewed all my plants in my list.

I watched 5 minutes and switched the channel.  I agree Jennie I do not watch the auditions it is staged to make fun of people at their expense. 

I cannot watch the train wreck to pump ratings.  I just do not enjoy laughing at people that know they do not have talent or the ones that think they have talent and are hurt when they are laughed at.  It is that reality TV feel.

Most of us never watch the auditions.  This year we're just doing it to have some fun.  Not sure that's working out, it's so painful to watch.   That's why I usually tune in when they pick the top singers.

Why would I call him Justin if his name is Mike?  lol   Justin is the cancer survivor.  They probably all let Codzilla Mike through so they could have free rides in his speedboat.

Angry Clark.  Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think it was all set up.  That may be why he had that odd smile while he was walking out.  It seemed creepy, but maybe it was more of a smirk wondering how many people fell for his performance (and I don't mean the singing).
