I would sound like Red if I tried singing that song. Red representin' Sconny!

simon said his eyes looked like a jungle animal..what is the name of the animal??????? a lemur??? i know the animal (i can picture it in my head) but i do not know the name.

Thanks

I believe it was a bush baby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_baby

Personally, I thought the guy looked like he could be related to Brian Peppers.

Actually as inane as many of their comments are, they did seem to get this right. For some reason the girl is definitely in love with her boss.

yeah she was semi hot. what did she see in him? for the record i got the same feeling...she wants him...or already has him.

He reminded me of that old SNL commercial - Big Red with that huge viking.

I loved Simon's bush-baby line.

I've never seen AI (I've followed it up on the news) and decided to get on the bandwagon this season. I thought the auditions would be boring as hell but I'm surprised how much fun I'm having watching them. The first girl (Jewel-worshipper) was hilarious... the look her family member gave at the end told it all: "Yeah we know she can't sing worth crap."

By the way I think they just had the left door not open just to get laughs for TV.

Abso-fuckin-lutely. That is totally what I was thinking when I saw him. It's almost eerie how much they look alike.

I am actually already starting to get bored with the audition episodes, only two in. I don't really know if it is because we have seen it so many times at this point or what, but it is starting to grate a little bit, and even the really horrible people aren't getting much of a rise out of me so far this year. Usually there are at least one or two per show that make me bust out in laughter.

I am also noticing that the entire show at this juncture seems to revolve around showcasing the idiots and lousy singers. I know that is more or less the whole appeal of the early episodes, but at least in the past, they mixed in a lot more of the good auditions. It seems like there is maybe 1 good singer per hour now.

The Seattle auditions were like a bad train wreck. And were people auditioning for AI or for a circus freak show?

Ya'know the bush baby said something about telling his brother he was on AI. I assumed his brother was Brian Peppers.

I kept watching trying to figure out if I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. Kinda like a car accident. So tragic, but I couldn't stop..

It's seems the producers are giving us a much bigger helping of the bad ones, and just min-parcels of anyone decent. Not a good thing since there is virtually no one in the 4 hours so far that has you could get excited about, but the 16 year old Cornerback daughterl and the Indian siblings were noteworthy. I actually did not mind hearing him sing stevie wonder, usually I cringe at the thought of another AI S.Wonder song.

I hope they start throwing us some more talent-bones next week and ease back a bit on the freak show.

that is why women wear bras

I think they should rename the auditions "American Idol: Schizophrenic, Autisic, or Bipolar?"

Jesus God... some of those people. Do the mental institutions bus people out to these things?

I thought the security team was going to tackle "Taylor Hicks" when he tried to put that shit in Simon's hair.

That part was scary - I thought securty was a little slow on acting..

The guy gets rejected, says "I have something for you Simon." Reaches in his pocket while walking toward the Simon...

One of these freaks could pull out a razor blade or something!!!!

I think I am experiencing my first senior moment here. which person are you talking about?

I second this. I don't remember any breasts.

I thought the weirdest thing was that pink fishnet girl-- she had the fattest arms I have ever seen. They were like the fattest part of her body. I wasn't sure if it was the fishnet bodysuit that bunched up her arm fat like that, but it was such a strange fashion choice that emphasized her very worst feature. If she had worn long sleeves she would have looked much slimmer.

A couple of those auditions I wondered why they were even shown. Like the Asian woman with the unsupportive husband, etc. Many of the people weren't bad enough to be entertaining so it seems like they are really stretching to fill the 2 hours every night.

As far as good singers, I really liked the black soul singer guy (Thomas?) He had a Sam Cooke quality. I would like to see him progress in the competition.

I also thought the Indian siblings were interesting. There was some not too-subtle sibling rivalry going on there which should be good to watch.

The person was one of the first introduced. She had written a novella and her eerily similar-looking mom was in tow. Think glass, bright red lips, bleach blonde hair, mangled teeth and gigantic breasts that hung just above her considerable waist-line. No bra. Mom looked exactly like her except with black hair. Gross pair, those two.

"The Hotness" had me dieing laughing. She was breathtakingly ugly, with a personality to match.

The brother could/might be a finalist...he was pretty good.

Yeah, I just couldnt stand to look at her, but yet couldnt look away...I thought my wife was going to pee herself she was laughing so hard.

My wife's immediate reaction was "I don't think that woman has ever worn a bra."

He reminded me of the two crooners from last season who made it to the final 24, but were both eliminated after a few weeks. I'm thinking that the brother will be like that.

And I agree, they've changed their format. In prior years they would have much more good singers and give some background stories. As Josh-da-man mentioned, this year they could rename it ""American Idol: Schizophrenic, Autisic, or Bipolar?".

Bring back the good singers!

Agreed. A shame, because she seemed to be taking it somewhat seriously, and despite not auditioning well you can hear the potential for singing well under different circumstances. Surely one of her family/friend horde could've stopped her and told her how goofy she looked. Her face was pretty good (didn't have the jowls you'd expect from someone with the size of the rest of her body).

I love the glare from the girl when the brother wouldn't say who the judges liked more (and how she sounded upset saying stuff like "They didn't clap for me!"). You know we're seeing more of these two.
