This dude looks like he's in pain while he's singing.

 

[JCX]

She's good, but I'm not liking her tone. But all that matters is that she can sing.

SHE'S ONLY 16!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!! /Randy

 

[MIMIC]

This isn't awkward at all.

 

[themadcowtipper]

"I won"

Girl's a damn lie

Enter joke about the grandmother wont remember.



I feel horrible now

 

[BlueTsunami]

Man, I cringed, hard, through that whole white dude audition. Simon was straight up brutal, but spiting real talk.

 

[MIMIC]

That guy sounded a LOT like Rascal Flatts to me. Especially with the "twang"

 

[themadcowtipper]

Wow misson in spain and cancer

 

[Alucard]

Sob stories timmmmmmmmmmme.

 

[MIMIC]

He doesn't have cancer? Well, no pity from me then!

 

[JCX]

Most cursed idol song.

 

[Alucard]

Alright, Justin dude's voice is fucking sick.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Someone kill Posh, please.

 

[Apoc29]

Someone kill Posh, please.

She is completely useless. God, I'd almost replace her with Paula. Wait...no, I wouldn't go that far.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Holy shit @ this dude. He's like an 80's explosion.

 

[jett]

creepy

 

[JCX]

That was the kind of bad audition that I like.

 

[MIMIC]

I'm underwhelmed.

 

[DrForester]

That tall guy who hated waiting....

How could they have not made a Clark Kent joke.

 

[madara]

Hope he "spices it up" I loved his mother, she would be hilarious.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Please tell me that 80's guy has a series of youtube videos

 

[Weapxn]

I don't want this Justin cancer guy to win just because of his sappy "OMG I gots teh cancer on a mission BUT LIFE GOES ON " story. Go away.

I don't think he'll make the top 24. If he does, then he DEFINITELY won't make the top 12.

 

[themadcowtipper]

She is a plant

 

[btkadams]

The last couple of seasons have really tried my patience and I fully expect to hate Ellen (seriously, WTF?) but I'll be back for another go-around this year.

In any case I suspect the show's days are numbered- it's only a matter of time now before Simon leaves to do a US version of The X-Factor which will then go on to eclipse Idol as the pre-eminent TV talent show, as happened in the UK.

how is this even possible for a human being to feel?

I thought he was one of the best of the day. They've still got tons of other places to travel, so I doubt he'll get anywhere near the top 12. Most of the people on this premier were pretty average.

Season 9 so far: underwhelming and mega-sappy.

HOLY SHIT SUPER KICK!

 

[ivysaur12]

Pretty much.

I wonder if they ever keep stats on how many people who didn't get all the votes actually made it to the final 24.

I think the best ones were the 16 year old and the two guys who were harmonizing in the waiting room.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Vocally that last girl, I really really liked. Had a bit of a Billie Holliday sound in her style.

 

[jett]

I was bored as fuck throughout this episode. I think i've had enough Idol.

 

[Weapxn]

I honestly don't know how I'll like her as a judge. I will wait and see before I make and judgments though. I'm still unsure why she is judging a singing competition though.. I love her to death, but this just doesn't seem to fit.

I liked the girl with the Alzheimer's grandma though, and I think she'll go far.

And Victoria Beckham. Man. She would've been the perfect substitute for Paula. Just as dumb and nice, a bit prettier (sometimes), and actually coherent.

 

[ivysaur12]

Oh yeah forgot about her. She was good too, but most of it was underwhelming.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Are you talking about the judges votes? I remember that Simon didn't vote for Taylor Hicks to make it. He said that he didn't think his look or sound would be mainstream enough for the show. How right he was.

HOLY SHIT SUPER KICK!

I think he'll easily be top 12. He was the best of this episode.

 

[VGChampion]

That sarcastic guy was cringe worthy. I bet he's a GAF member or at the very least gamefaqs. No way he got that sarcastic on his own. :lol

I missed the second half but I don't care what some of you say, Victoria still looks good to me. Skinny yeah but I've liked her since Spice Girl era.

 

[VPhys]

Both Victoria and Kara have WAAAAY too much makeup. Victoria looks like a fucking porcelin doll from the 80s. Geez I think I'm going to be sick.

 

[harSon]

Jesus Christ, Victoria Beckham looks repulsive. She almost doesn't seem human, looks like an anorexic space creature. David Beckham must really like her personality because the physical attraction sure as hell ain't there.

 

[VPhys]

She could probably look hot she's just trying too hard.

Ladies. See Melissa for reference.

Interesting.

Spoiler

Simon was right

 

[red shoe paul]

Kara DioGuardi is a relative of mine. A distant relative. I'm 100% serious.

 

[MIMIC]

I don't think he'll make the top 24. If he does, then he DEFINITELY won't make the top 12.

Seems like I was already right; Justin "Cancer" Williams auditioned last season and made it to the Hollywood round. Don't know how much further he made it but he didn't make the top 24 cut.

 

[Stinkles]

Watching Otaku Grrrl on Tivo.

Lot of "voice coach" victims out there. Like Chiropractor patients asking if their back is OK I suppose.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

we need gifs of Simon and Randy checking out that chick's amazing ass.

 

[Stinkles]

Why hello Ashley Rodriguez from Berkeley.

 

[SolidSnakex]

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well the first guy was terrible tonight in a very unfunny way.

The best part is that you can get a voice coach regardless of how good you are. All you have to do is pay them. :lol

I felt pretty ashamed to recognize that Otaku girl was doing the Hare Hare Yukai dance from Haruhi Suzumiya, but then again, I was watching American Fucking Idol, so I guess I shouldn't.

 

[jordan0386]

His hook was catchy though.

 

[JCX]

She'll last until top nine at least

 

[MIMIC]

I am SO glad that the country girl didn't suck. I really hate it when they give you the first half of a potentially heart-warming story and then just suck the air right out of you with the fact that they're terrible.

 

[madara]

Hope she doesn't plan use the Kelly Pickler material too much.

 

[MIMIC]

Hope she doesn't plan use the Kelly Pickler material too much.

Yeah...I was thinking that this was Kelly 2.0. But I got more of a Carrie feel from her, personality-wise.....just more countrified. This girl felt "real".
