Yankee this part is exactly what I was thinking: There were two military auditions, which you knew from the outset were going to make it - I mean, they showed up in their uniforms! Seriously, and the Army woman was only a reservist. I'm surprised a blind nun didn't show up to sing "Over the Rainbow."

Maris...I did catch Jewel's comment about being cold. I liked Jewel...she did the best job of the lot, imho. Way too much time spent on the sideshow acts. Totally boring...not the least bit entertaining. From the previews, tonight's show appears to be another loser. I think Paula needs to retire. Was she even awake last night?

Rosie talked about the auditions and Paula on the View. I think she brought up some good points. Now Donald is on the attack again.

They had a guy on the local radio station in MN today who was one of the guys who sounded like crap and got ripped on by the judges. He was saying that when he first went to the audition the people they see before Simon and the gang were telling the people how good they were, how not to listen to anyone when they say they really can't sing, etc etc. Basically setting them up to get ripped on by the judges. Anything for good ratings I guess.

And how do they get these "color pieces" on these people...do they go out and get them after the auditions? I mean, DUH, obviously they have to, but it really is annoying to get spoonfed all these people. I appreciate the service Navy guy is doing for our country, and I think he has talent, but he obviously doesn't have the "look" that American Idol is going after. His teeth kind of freaked me out...they were almost pointed! And his voice was not the best, although the guys were SO BAD last night that it was a moot point.

ITA about the "color pieces". I generally find them to be such a drag.

Lori, she felt genuinely bad for some of the bad performers, especially the younger ones. She said that she wondered if they had the maturity to withstand the disappointment and maturity of being told on national tv how horrible they were. She also said alot of what we have been saying that some of it was fun to watch, but the other was quite painful and felt almost voyeuristic. She then went on about Paula slurring and weaving.

Answering Hobbs: (sorry if someone did already and I missed it). When Clay tried out here in Charlotte he was turned away. He then went down to Atlanta and got through,,,but just barely.

I read in the new TV Guide that there was a little friction between Jewel and Paula. Could be one of the reasons that Paula didn't speak as much.

Oh yeah. I know that people who are tone deaf can't tell they are really bad but surely everyone they know isn't tone deaf also. Why don't their loved ones tell them they suck?? Cripes, we used to tease my mother that the church choir paid her not to sing in the choir. LOL

I couldn't hear the last one. I was too distracted by the braless boobs swinging down around her waist.

It is sad with all the great music talent in the Northwest, only the crazies showed up at the AI audition.

What the heck kind of friends to these people have? Encouraging them to audition when they are clearly awful! Bet the "friends" are at home rolling on the floor laughing. Geez!

The Indian girl was pretty. I am glad her brother got a yellow paper also. He seemed really humble.

What cracks me up are the people that get all indignant. Telling the judges they don't know what they are talking about and its just their opinion. Well, DUH! Their's is the only opinion that matters! LOL

All I want to say is that I'm glad my girlfriend isn't hot like her. ;D or my wife for that matter. :D It's hard to believe Nirvana, SoundGarden and Pearl Jam came out of Seattle...couldn't tell it by this bunch.

Does anyone know when they're done with the audition nonsense and start showing the Hollywood stuff?
