I saw nothing really compelling last night. Kady Malloy was okay. If they could pass through some of the people that they did, they could have left Renaldo in a bit longer, if just for the entertainment value alone. I guess he was just too old.

Why do I get the feeling that there’s a connection between “Virgin Boy” and Jordin Spark’s self-professed vow of abstinence until marriage??

The future governor of Oklahoma ( politician/singer, AKA Freddie and the Dreamers look-aklike ) will be this year’s Kevin Covais. We al lneed a dork to love.

Renaldo Lapuz, from his accent and family name is definitely a Pinoy ( check it out purple ).

Question — do we conclude from the fact that the producers take the time to go to an auditioner’s hometown to film their life that they might have gone far in the Hollywood rounds ?

Kady was the best I’ve seen, it doesn’t matter what color her hair is people. I think she’ll go far in the competition. She is a natural!!

You might be right Sarah…maybe someone from your old hometown will appear as well!

I also think Colton has potential. Apparently he will be playing guitar in Hollywood week.
He has great voice for country IMO.

They eyebrows and haircut can definitely be fixed by the AI stylists. He is cute though, as mj said.

The show was a little Zzzzzz with all the blondes (how could we possibly tell them apart?) but I really liked Pia’s voice and style. I also liked Drew, if only because he called his family “rascals” and talked about being lonesome on his tractor. I thought he sounded like an articulate Bucky.

Brandon and Colton and both cute, but I was skeeved by Brandon’s fingernails and skeered by Colton’s enormous hair. Both had good, generic voices, I suppose. Eh.

I saw some of the show last night but of what I saw thier were allot of blonds and they seem this year to really be into the backstory . I wonder if thier new sponcer will be kleenex?(for all the tears shed) I sort of thought it would happen an overload of sob storie surprised To(dallas Cowboys ) did not show up but the viewers lov it. The model sort of reminded me of Fantasia but not as good but had a funky hair style and some attitude. Simon liking how confident she is yeah she is a model, I am sure she also is very confortable in front of a camera. What I saw of the auditions so far which is not much most do have the “look” they need and can sing.Maybe next year AI just go to hooters or models agancy to get thier contestants.

He does remind me of him

The show was pretty good ronight. I agree, too many Carrie-Clones. I dislike that some have already recorded CDs. But there’s not much we can do with an inaccurate backstory.

Yes, I totally agree. I saw the group in concert twice. Well, if he succeeds in politics, he can thank AI for the pre-publicity. LOL!

Alright, I admit I was singing with Renaldo by the third round. Sorry, but I lovd the judges and it was a good way to end the show. What I dislike is that we didn’t get to see some who will be in the TOP 50.

Maybe they need to have an All-Carrie Clone Idol this year. 12 blonde girl finalists who all resemble Carrie and sound like her, too.

It seems that we’re headed that way anyway. I can’t even remember the names of the ones we saw last night… they’re all running together.

I liked Brandon Green’s voice a lot, and he’s a cutie, but he has a lot of ground to make up in the personality department. I liked the other Mississippi boy a lot, too. Drew, maybe? Good voice, good ol’ Southern boy. Colton – yeah, he seemed a bit uncomfortable without his guitar, but I liked his voice. I think he has potential though. And the political dude was cool too. I think I like him more because I didn’t know whether or not he’d be able to sing well, and he was good.

Maybe they’re saving Jason Castro for the Best/Worst show? *crossing fingers*

another *blah* night for me.. and ya there are a lot of carrie clones.. but to be fair some of them could sing their lil hearts out..

overall thumbs down though cuz there is just something about this year so far…. is that it is just gettin OLD?

i hope not cuz i love idol but so far i’m just not feeling it!

Jpfan hit it — lots of Carrie clones. Do you get the feeling the judges are looking for clones of past winners?

It was a very meh kind of night, I thought. Nobody really stood out – a few pleasant voices.

It’s the year of feel good idol. Simon with the guy at the end was pretty funny. I was predisposed to like Colton, and I did, but he seemed pretty tentative – and uncomfortable without his guitar. And dude, do something about the hair! I also would have liked to see Jason Castro.

I can’t remember all the names. Farm Boy was ok. I thought he was very good looking and had a pretty good voice. I also thought Virgin Boy was good and can’t figure out why he didn’t go through to Hollywood. I liked Model Girl (I remember her because of that haircut)and Meth Addict Girl (don’t know if anyone will beat that backstory!!). And I was pretty surprised by Political Boy – he was much better than I expected. They are all okay, but no one is spectacular so far.

I liked Brandon’s voice, but thought he didn’t present himself well. The number of times he stuck his foot in his mouth…oh man (Did insulting Britney Spears add to Simon’s dislike for him?) Note to Brandon, next time, don’t put down anybody, especially if they are in the same room as you and perhaps your only chance of advancing.

Kady was pleasant and controlled (and hit jackpot by singing Simon’s favorite song), but if you consider “Before He Cheats” as part of her audition, she didn’t deserve that kind of praise. Pretty though. But I guess I’m sick of all the blondes that Simon seems to like this year.

Colton was not bad but a little underwhelming.

Drew just didn’t have the voice to cut it. Sorry.

I missed Jason Castro. Must have blinked.

Awww, I really liked Virgin Boy. I thought he had a nice voice. Ditto the thoughts about all the blonde girls. Can we get a redhead in there, maybe? Or a Hispanic girl? Princess Leia from yesterday does have a point: the girls tend to look very, very similar.

I liked the guy who did Wait for Me. He was entertaining. I stopped paying attention in the middle and started flipping channels. Lots of Carrie clones. Nobody really stood out much. The auditions aren’t as cruel as last year but the contestants don’t really seem any better. Prettier people but no charisma, no real personalities.

Alright so I spent most of the commercial breaks playing Playstation with my sister and it often bled into the show so I was only half paying attention.
Again, nothing really blew me away. I like that black woman with short and hair and weird head tattoo. Her voice was great. Wonderful tone. That tattoo though, could bug me later on.
That girls Britney Spears impression was spot on.
Hmm, what else.
Fingernails! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW! When he first said that he peels something I thought that maybe he had a bag of skin. I literally vomited in my mouth. Fingernails aren’t as gross but still… horrible. Too back he was really cute.
I wanted Paula to put her foot down today and start saying NO to some peeps. But I guess that’s Paula for you. She’s alot less drunk this season it seems.
What else…
Oh, remember that girl who wanted to be like Kelly Clarkson? The black haired one who sang “Beautiful Disaster” horribly? When she came out of the room and was talking to her friends I noticed Ryan in the backgroud lookin about 4 feet tall. Just a funny little tidbit that made me giggle.
Nothing else really. I’ll post more if I remember. The talent was lacking today. Simon was funny as well.
Also, I had that “Brothers” song stuck in my head for like 20 minutes after the show! That was a good moment.

Interesting show. I liked the recovering meth addict – best backstory of the night! That’s a first, at least in having someone on who actually talks about it. Really, she’ll be a big hit with the AA and NA folks! I wanted to see Jason Castro too. Oh well.

I didn’t care for five minutes of Renaldo. They skipped the kid with the dreads!

Ahh…well…Simon hated Kyle. Therefore, I love Kyle. He is offbeat but cute in an oddly appealing way. And he has a very nice voice.

Will he be crushed by the Idol Machine? Probably.

His was the only audition I have really sort of enjoyed.

The rest of this show, so far, and with a few exceptions, has depressed me.

Maybe they need to have an All-Carrie Clone Idol this year. 12 blonde girl finalists who all resemble Carrie and sound like her, too.

PJ I agree he was cute and had a nice tone to his voice but WTH ever possessed him to bring a bag of nasty old fingernails that he saves ON TV?????? Nevermind that he saves them in the first place which in itself is sick. He might as well have just picked his nose on there cause for me it was just as gross and I really don’t think I can get past it, lol. I will see him on there and go *eeeuuuwww fingernail boy* and it will instantly bring back that bag in my mind. UGH

Idol just set a new low for me.
