2/1 Idol Chatter
By Michele
Welcome back for another night of Idol chatter.
Tonight's auditions are from Orlando and Cleveland.
LL Cool J in the HOUSE!
You'll notice a few new additions to the right sidebar - the Failinator and the Successinator. Let's see if anyone gets added to either chart tonight.
Keep it here for live Idol talk for the next hour.
--
1: And we start off with another person who thinks that singing through your nose is effective.
Either I'm a really bad judge of what's good or they're just letting the most mediocre people in this year.
---
2: (Sarah) Eek! Not a bad voice, but she looks like she just crawled out from under a bridge.
---
LL has the greatest smile. Just thought I'd share that.
---
3. (Scott) Smooooth voice. I like. A lot.
::sniff:: that was touching.
---
5. Mime - dumb ass gimmick. Stupid. Attention. Whore. Simon should get up, kick her in the box and shove her off the stage.
---
6. Pat the Farm Boy - Is that a mustache or dirt? Nice voice, though. Randy needs to stop saying "you can blow" to these people.
--
And another set of siblings coming through.
7. Lashanda - Oh, hells no.
8. Leandra - Just...no comment. Why do these families keep telling their kids/sisters/brothers that they are talented?
It pains LL to say no. He's not cut out for rejecting people.
---
9. Bree - What. The. Hell. Ok..good voice, but that's not really American Idol stuff, is it? Well, it will be interesting to see how she works that voice in the rest of the competition. I think I like her.
--
10. Anthony - the feel good story of 2005!
He'll be in the finals.
---
11. White boys! I love this song. But NOT sung like this. Holy shit, I don't even recognize it. Somebody rip her vocal chords out, please.
----
Two quick contestants a so-so girl and a guy doing a horrid job with a Darkness song.
----
12. Nice voice. Not spectacular, but nice. But, as Ian points out in the comments - a total Whitney.
-
13. Desmond - See, I don't like him. And I just know they will. Well, Randy and Paula will.
Jeez, end it already.
After three years or however long , Paula just doesn't get it.
QUIT. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF JEEBUS, QUIT, PAULA! Better than James Brown? And the What Is Paula On Tonight watch goes to......CRACK.
She is out of her freaking MIND and Randy is no better. If I was Simon I would kick them both in the head. Hard. Twice.
And that's a wrap for tonight. I need to go make a Paula voodoo doll.
LL's the man.

Given how awful his accent was speaking I was *really* impressed with #3's singing. Kudos to the judges for passing him too.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 1, 2005 08:16 PM
Absolutely. I didn't expect his singing to be so smooth.

(Re: #7) Randy, she does *not* have a good voice. Stop lying.

...and #8 was worse. It's cute that LL doesn't want to say "no" though.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 1, 2005 08:29 PM
Why does he say that to people who obviously have zero talent? Bugs the shit out of me.

#9: I hate the look, but major props for the voice.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 1, 2005 08:35 PM
Oh. Dear. God.

They need to make an icon for "No Whitney" and post it at all AI auditions.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 1, 2005 08:47 PM
Paula must die.
Posted by: Ian S. at February 1, 2005 08:57 PM
LL does have a sweet smile!
Anyway, #3 was talented,
the sisters...keep it at church, God is all forgiving!
"Miracle boy" was great!
Goth girl looked crazy, but she has range!
Loved the reference about Sarah...trollish! Not a bad voice, though.

I dug the mime. In the early rounds you get your attention whores, and you get your funny attention whores. I liked the bit. Though I was a bit worried she'd take it a bit too seriously and bawl when they didn't let her go to Hollywood.
And the dude Paula went to the mat for isn't making it past the first cut in Hollywood.

I saw that LL was a guest judge and thought, WTF, he's not a singer, he's a rapper. Big difference. Still, he seems like a really nice guy and I thought he added to the show. I still hate rap, but I like LL.

Paula is such a baby. she should quit or shut the F#@* up
