‘American Idol’ Hits Hot-lanta - Recap of Atlanta Auditions
In case America was waiting - we get to meet Ryan’s Parents on this edition of ‘American Idol. Ryan must be tired… he hasn’t shaved.
Tonight’s first up, not only nearly slipped into the audition (literaly) - he nearly cracked up the judges -with his slightly demonic eyes. For Joshua Jones - the judges make him turn around - despite his “karaoke performance’” he gets a golden star.
Carrie Underwood’s audition buddy was next up… I’m not sure he has the star quality he thinks he does. But, what was that song he sang? was than an auction or what. Simon’s “pen has more charisma.” Yeah - a Paula moment… she can’t say no! Asiah Epperson - weepy story - I feel bad about her dad - but, did she need to share that her dad died? Certainly, she has a strong voice - and won a golden ticket and made Paula weep.
Of course there would be a Georgia peach reference… did anyone notice how blonde the peaches were?
Brooke Helvie - a pageant queen has a voice - and a loud squeal and a hugs all around!
It’s down hill from there… the spoken word - what were these next people thinking? So just how many of these auditions do the judges have to see. As Simon says, this is where it becomes ‘American Nightmare’.
Alexandra Lushington - sings a classic - “My Funny Valentine.” and is in!
Eva Miller - luckily she thinks she’s got it all… although it’s pretty clear she’s living in a fog or something. She loves Simon. The slow motion replay was amazing - the tears - not so much.
Jared Wiley was a hoot!!!!! - Simon thought it was something out of a science fiction movie.
Nathan Hite - I’m not sure why he was worried about how much he could move around on the stage - but Simon called it a bedroom audition. After a few minutes of banter… this guy is out! And I don’t think it was because he refused to Simon, either!
Amanda Overmyer - Randy is a yes - Paula is a yes and Simon even says yes! Her sound appeared to by deeply authentic!
The next guy - living in his car - another weepy moment - I might have even had a tear on this one.
Josiah Leming - it is weird, the accent - Paula - I think you’re holding back - Randy says yes and even Simon says yes… and “the British as taking over!”
19 others were chosen from Atlanta and just one more night of auditions to go!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait until these auditions are finally over… is it me or did the auditions go on a couple weeks longer than last year?
TweetGet on with the show already!
I’m usually a pretty patient guy. But, is it really necessary for Fox to drag out the auditions for ‘American Idol’ over so many weeks?
I understand ratings and all - but really. I’m about to go wacky waiting for the real show to get under way. How many more bad auditions do we have to watch?
Then we have the issue of so many the rumored top 24 being former stars or semi-professionals vying for their chance at fame… what about the little guy in all this? You know, that undiscovered talent would be discovered on the show with America voting.
Whatever the case, I’m ready for the season to get started and the real competition to begin!
Anyone else feeling this way?
