sartre 0 #77 January 25, 2007 That's my first choice always for watching tv. But tonight I did watch it live, and discovered the benefit that my daughter actually turns down the volume and talks to me during commercials. I may have to re-think the whole Tivo thing.......

sartre 0 #81 January 25, 2007 I'm thinking you're confusing Ian Benando with another contestant. He was the strange, skinny guy with the exaggerated Long Island accent. He had tried out for "So You Think You Can Dance" as well. He was a piece of work, but definately no singer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of the guy who was adopted. Seemed like, he had a fairly good voice. The one who really impressed me was, the little girl who skipped school to get there. That took a lot of guts and want to. Plus, she could sing. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamajumps 0 #84 January 25, 2007 QuoteWhoa, did anyone see the chick with the cowboy hat who said she can't sing but could definitely be the next American Idol?!!! Can you say, uh, psycho chick? Very scary.... Walt YEs she was definitly a bit crazy.... wow, and on national TV too.... that girl needed a straight jacket and a padded room....

sartre 0 #86 January 25, 2007 Yeah, the adopted guy was good. He had the looks as well. As did the girl who skipped school. I'm curious as to what her dad had to say in private. What about that dramatic girl? She looked like she was acting on a soap opera when she was pleading with them to keep her. I still think Paula is one of the most interesting things to watch. She's definately more 'altered' at some times than others. And she definately spends a lot of time taking loong sips out of her Coke glass when the others are talking.

masterrig 1 #87 January 25, 2007 Dramatic girl, should be on 'Days of Our Lives". I like Paula but, she does have some 'demons'. Randy, is more 'interesting' this year. More like Simon. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #88 January 25, 2007 QuoteI record it and watch it... and am known to skip the really, really bad stuff... Really? I only started watching last year and I only watch the first few shows to see the "really bad stuff" It is a hoot! Once they get to the serious competition, I move on. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #89 January 25, 2007 QuoteReally? yes, really... though I generally will watch most of the performances (at least a little bit of them) I don't really enjoy watching the judges tear into people... I also skip over a lot of the "filler material" Personally, I particularly enjoy the "Oh shit that guy/girl is actually good..." types.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Muenkel 0 #90 January 25, 2007 My favorite was 'The Mayor' who auditioned in Memphis. What was with that Jesus/Osama/Castro guy? He actually made it through to Hollyweird. I loved the shy girl who is a back up singer. She has an awesome voice. I really hope she gets some confidence.

aprilcat 0 #91 January 25, 2007 Last night had to be the strangest episode to date. I think Ian (with his dead animal and $1.00 headband) is a RIOT--I saw him on 'So You Think You Can Dance). He had some interesting things to say last night: "I'm a SUPERSTAR! You can ask my mother. You can ask my friend (singular), you can ask one of my therapists. Simon called it on the money when he said he was bored and whatever it IS that he's trying to do is not working. He can't be real. He's GOT to be a wanna be comedian. GloriaGloriawhydon'tyouthinkaboutitifanybodywantsyouwhyisn'tanybodycawwwwlingyoudonthavetoanswerjustleavethemhangingonthelinecallinGloria. I was waiting for him to get to the line about 'take a lover in the afternoon'. I don't think I could have handled that. He butchered that song and didn't sing a damned note. That takes guts. I hope he shows up on the View,~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
floridadiver81 0 #92 January 25, 2007 i watched it last night..i caught the very end...the one with the chick that "tried" to sing mamalade. omg..my reactionwas that of the judges..jsut sitting there with my jaw dropped wondering how the hell she had the courage to go on national television jsut to make a complete fool of herself."Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

FlyingJ 0 #93 January 25, 2007 QuoteHe can't be real. He's GOT to be a wanna be comedian. Yup, I totally pegged him as being there to try and get a "correspondant" role on one of the late shows (like Ross on Leno). Did you see that "Cartman" and "Bush Baby" are working for Jimmy Kimmel now? I saw a clip of them out covering a celeb golf tourney for Kimmel.Killing threads since 2004.

sartre 0 #95 January 25, 2007 I didn't care for the Fidel Castro guy, but I was in the minority there. I loved the backup singer woman. How cool for her! The last girl was a riot, especially when she kept singing, "Mocha latte". Made me want to go to Starbucks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenz 0 #99 January 28, 2007 i LOVED that guy - and he'd had a super cute face but it was hidden behind his ridiculous hair - i understood what he was standing for, but time to make a change- LOVED his voice... and i LOVED the guy's voice who's father had the #1 single until the beatles' "yesterday" took over - he was cool... i have to say ive liked more of the guys they put through than the ladies, only because theyre voices sounded unique to me.... but there definitely were some impressive females - you guys hit the nail on the head with the backup singer - she was awesome.. and i actually liked the weird chick with the HORRIBLE red hair and turquoise top that they didnt put through because she didn't sound "different" enough - maybe she'll get a wild card - who knows... i hate the fact that i love this show so much"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
