Have ya'll seen the video that's going around on e-mail from when she was on "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?" It was sad!

Well I have 2 favs from tonight's show.

2 guys from Delaware. The 20 year old from Dover, very nice as well. Also the 17 year old from Smyrna. Don't remember what he sang.

The guy who got his chest waxed that looked so painful.

Simon is very easy on the eyes but he needs to get rid of that white t-shirt he had on tonight.

Well I watched on commercials from The Biggest Loser so I was at a huge disadvantage. I'm unable to watch it tomorrow because I will be working. That's okay because I'm waiting for Hollywood!

I watched AI for the 1st time ever tonight just to see what all the hype was about. Ok, I can see why people get hooked! Although I could have happily gone my whole life without ever seeing the guy who shaved his chest wearing that little outfit he wore for the audition! Eww!

I am in the first 20 minutes of the show and that guy that sang "Go Down Moses" almost had me spewing water out of my nose...he was terrible. I think that other guy "Yuka" was a total fake. Just my 2 cents... back to the show. :D

That Paula Stalking guy was creepy! What on earth was the Chest Hair guy thinking? More tonight! Yippee!

I just can't stomach the first few weeks from the mocking of people and breaking hearts and obvious ploys for 15 mins of fame (glitter girl - or boy - had a hard time telling - what was that all about?) to the backstabbing, scheming, crying hollywood part. I like to wait till the final 12, then I'm in.

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like this show (just curious)? I also don't like things like The Amazing Race, etc. "reality" shows (even though I know American Idol isn't in that category). I don't really like the new types of game shows either like Singing Bee, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, Deal or No Deal, etc. Maybe its just me?

EZ~still stuck on Kellie, huh? Oh well, I don't usually watch AI, but I do keep up on the forum. It is almost as much fun, and then I know who gets the boot.

I am looking forward to EZ being hung up on the pretty blondes...gotta love it!

I love American Idol. I know it's stupid, but I love it anyway. Mindless entertainment. After teaching Shakespeare to teenagers all day, I need something mindless. I even get into the first weeks of auditions. Sometimes I feel bad for the contestants who really do seem sincere, but mostly it's pretty funny. Yes, the "Go Down, Moses" guy was hilarious. I keep thinking of the way he sang the "let my people go" line. :lol:

The only time I've ever actually voted was when Elliott Yamin was on, because he's from Richmond and I kept thinking I remembered seeing him working at that pharmacy, because that's the pharmacy I used for years! Plus, I thought (and still think) that his voice is fantastic. Last season, Jordin Sparks bored the pee out of me. She can sing, but I never found her remotely interesting.

OK, I was actually a little gleeful that it was on last night. I love the audition weeks. Once we get into the regular season, I end up fast-forwarding most of the show so I can just watch the singers I actually like. That really helps with the finale too. I love Tivo!

I was seriously annoyed at the William Dafoe chick (heh!) last night. I kept saying "Shut up, shut up, shut up). Her speaking voice was so cringe-inducing. And the Star Wars girl at the end, I thought she was so cute right up until her tirade began.

I wonder if the refused people can ever watch the show from a more objective perspective and see that it was in fact that they were not good singers. I know some people just go on, knowing they're bad singers just for the 15 minutes of fame, but some you can tell are genuinely upset.

Yup, case in point! :no: I didn't realize any twenty-something could be that dumb (or ignorant, I can't really tell)!

I DVR'd AI and watched it this morning. Now Star Wars chick really, really got on my nerves. No, they didn't reject you because you weren't a stereotype... they rejected you because you can't sing!

I mean I am an okay singer, but at least I know that! I would never go on AI and then get pissed off when I didn't make it, because I know I'm not AI material!

I just have to wonder.... HOW can someone like that Moses guy go on American Idol and act surprised when they get rejected!? I mean, don't they have any clue that they just don't sound good? Or at least some honest friends/relatives who will nicely tell you... "I don't think you have the right voice for this competition."... ?

Stalker man was DEFINITELY CREEPY!!! Ugh, I dunno how Paula could just sit there, you could tell she was squirming in her seat. It's a good thing they have those huge security guys in the room! SCARY!

It was hilarious when Simon said "Spiderman movie" I knew exactly where he was going with that Willem Dafoe comment :rofl: That girl was a bit over the top. So much for bowing out gracefully huh?

Nobody exactly struck me as WOW material, but what I'm really interested to see how that last girl (the sweet, innocent blonde) will fare while in Hollywood and things get cut-throat amongst the contestants. I enjoyed last night's show very much.... and I'm a fan of the Amazing Race as well. That's just me. ;)

As for Star Wars girl with the fake hair, hello? It's a SINGING competition! (for the most party anyway.) :rolleyes:

I LOVE this show! To the point that everyone knows not to call during this or The Biggest Loser.

I really feel bad for the people they pick on because for most of them it is obvious they have "issues" of some sort. I don't want to say they have some type of disability because I don't know that for a fact but the "go down moses" guy, star trek girl, and the one with the hair and glitter.......That's why I wait for Hollywood.

LisaMarie--I love Elliott Yamin and Jordin is boring. The past two seasons have not been up to par.
