American Idol - 2/15/05 Down to 44
Unless you were tone deaf, it was pretty easy to figure out which of the groups were going through.
I was glad we wouldn't be subjected to Asia the chipmunk anymore.
Larry was in denial if he though his final performance was good enough to go through.
Tomorrow - down to 24.

I like the anger and denial the contestants go through after they've been eliminated. How did that little chipmunk make it this far with that voice?
Hat Crooner is gone.
Church Dreadlocks is still there.
Too Perky Girl is still there.
and of course, my favorite.....
Shitkicking Inbred Halfwit Hillbilly Boy is still there! Will he make the final judges' cut?

Seems like this year the guys are gonna reign supreme over the girls based on those auditions. There are some really good singers. Little disappointed red head crooner didn't make it, but he basically killed himself with that jazz song. So far it looks like I'm rooting for a lot more people this year than last. Better personalities and singers. Hopefully it stays that way when they cut it down to 24.

Did Asia think she was Michael Jackson reincarnated or something? She was trying so hard to be him, I thought she was a boy when I first saw her. So glad she's gone from the competition, and as a bonus, we won't ever have to hear from her mom again.

Asia, or Aa'shia, however she wants to spell her name, only impressed me when she did her rap on the first audition. They really should've told her to drop the Michael Jackson impression.
I don't know what that guy was thinking when he decided to do scat. Too bad because I liked what I heard from him before that.
It was pretty obvious that room 2 was the top group, though I was surprised to see Constantine, the rocker dude, in that group. I would've liked to have seen his performance. So far Mario Vasquez is my favorite. It took balls to go up there with Bohemian Rhapsody. I wanted to hear more to see how far they'd make him go with it
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango

Too bad about the guy that did scat - he could have really rocked "You Can Feel It All Over" if he'd just sung the bridge instead of vocalizing the sax solo.
IMO This will be a much more interesting season than last...

Another Simon-free episode? What are they THINKING?
Anybody else getting tired of the schtick where they psyche-out the people who aren't eliminated and make them think they are?

Now let me get this straight about Wednesday's show...they are cutting it down to 24 without anyone even getting to sing again? Then why not just cut it down to 24 on Tuesday's show? Why make those 20 kids that they know are going to be cut suffer another day? Seems like a silly way to stretch out another episode.

Dunno, he can't sing w/r/t the rest of the field. Maybe they got his mixed up with Larry (the whiner from group 3 who couldn't believe he got shown the door).

I really feel for the people who thought they were good enough to go through and be the next American Idol.
The one girl and her mother who said she was going to be the next AI and have many #1 records, man were they ever clueless. But, the show really only showed the people who were clueless, makes for good TV.

My guess is that the judges are going out of their way to have a real balanced final 24, after last years "Diva" heavy lineup.

When the show gets down to the final 12, I wonder if that will also be evenly split, 6 of each gender.
Obviously the viewers pick 9 of the finalists regardless of sex, but will the judges tailor their wild card picks to even out the field?

Randy: "Yes, moving on out of those nice hotels we've been putting you in. Moving on with your lives... going back home, getting real jobs. Not moving on in this competition."
Paula (laughs): "Oh no, I hope you didn't think THAT."

I'm not here to bag on Asia. I am here to sing praises to the girl from Las Vegas, who I think is the best looking contestant ever on American Idol. She's got a good voice, and is GEORGEOUS!! Does anybody remember her name? I know she made the Top 44. If they don't put her through.
I also remember last year hearing one of the girls, who everybody loved, I think she was a swimsuit model, and I believe she sang Journey's "Open Arms" and did a horrible job, anyone remember her name. That girl wasn't the greatest singer(although I think she made top 24), but WOW WOW and WOW when it comes to stunning beauty.
