hmm...interesting; from realityblurred

One woman, painted with glitter, had an over-the-top, unjustified reaction to a rather kind dismissal, as if she’d already planned what to say and performed her routine even though there was no real reason to be outraged. Her name was Alexis Cohen, and coincidentally, there’s an Alexis Cohen in imdb listed as the assistent to the executive producer of So You Think You Can Dance, which shares its executive producers with American Idol.

Well, regardless of whether she was a plant or not, IMO she made an absolute fool of herself on national television. I truly hope she feels it was worth it. I would crawl under a rock (if I could fit under there after all my family and friends had crawled there before me) if I had made myself look so stupid.

When did it become the thing to do to make yourself look like an idiot in front of millions of people? Have we lost all shame as a population?

she might not feel like much of a fool if she was hired to do that.

That woman who had glitter all over her face and was ranting and raving about Simon, who didn't even say anything, most definetely was a plant. BUT, when she first went on, we thought she was actually Johnny Fairplay in costume!

I didn't think she was that bad, lol. She reminded me of the 70's with her look. I did think she was ove the top.

I was flipping between AI and Biggest Loser and I favored BL....I think sometimes they drag out the auditions.
I do feel bad for the ones that are almost there or have really sad stories...I don't think they should be sent to Hollywood b/c of that.

I had to laugh when the girl with the sick mother came out with the judges in tears and her father looked at Simon and asked him if he had been harsh with her. He was quick to say no, he liked her, and Paula was quick to say that he hadn't been mean to her.

Wonder if they thought he was going to punch him or something for making his little girl cry.

The stalker guy seemed sincere....sincerely a stalker!!
Glitter girl had some decent art work and talk about not being shy, whoa!
I love the auditions! I'm sorry if it is rude to laugh at the wannabees but I'm laughing, others are laughing, it's entertainment.
I will say that I think the one guy who had a speech impedement(he was a tour guide in Philly, I believe) deserved a hug from Randy and Paula. They laughed a bit much, at least give the guy a hug for making you laugh.

The stalker guy kind of bothered me. His song was funny, but what disturbed me was his moving toward Paula.

I think she was nervous about it even though she was laughing, and Simon was definitely freaked out. He was not laughing.

Possibly afterwards in talking to the guy, they probably determined that he was really no danger or they probably would not have shown it.

They were talking about Stalker Guy Paul on the local morning radio show.

Turns out he's a comedian and probably a plant. That's why none of them were as upset as they could have been.

I was cracking up when Yucca? (the Egypt guy) said he would "Love her from her hair to her nipples."

I told my wife that.

Nick, my husband thought that was so funny that he felt the need to repeat it to me and I was sitting beside him watching the same show, lol.

Did anybody notice the guy sitting behind Yucca? He looked like he was Yucca's bodyguard the way he was watching that little interview.

I don't think it's fair to have 'plants' when they have thousands of people waiting in line to audition.

I think it dumbs down the show. I enjoyed the early years when they had a few awful singers for balance but they were at least genuine contestants. The last few seasons they've shown too many contestants who know they have no real chance but are just there to deliberately look stupid so they can get on TV.

This girl, Katie, that Simon says was the best so far, is terrible, IMO! (I thought they guy who, at age 19, has never even kissed a girl yet, was much better!)

I think that Angela the one married to Chad wasn't too bad.

Chad wasn't too bad either. Too bad he didn't sing.

I just heard Angela and I felt she maybe could sing...but those songs we're horrible for her. She sounded very "choppy". Would have been nice to hear a song that flowed...a softer song.
I dunno. She didn't do the two songs Chad any justice.

Simon glorified. And such a catchy tune for Simon. That was just way too funny.

The last guy was a riot. What bugs me is, you have Simon, etc., getting all frustrated with the "bad" people coming through when they well know it's the producers picking these people outside to send them in. It's too bad they give so much time to people they use just for laughs when there are thousands of people out there and there really could be many, many more very good singers they could pick. Sometimes when they get to Hollywood, I have to wonder how some of them could actually be so bad. It's an insult to the people who can sing who never get a chance.

Did you hear that Daughtry has critized American Idol as "declining" because they have so many of the bad singers, instead of showing the good ones.

I think it is so unfair to some of them, too, because the ones that are shown start with a ready made fan base, like the girl with the handicapped daughter.

She is cute, sweet, and a very good singer, and she has a sympathic backstory. Is that fair to someone else who does not get that step up?
