They were kind of generous tonight. Surprised car crash lady got through, and a couple others.

I Am Your Brother! I can't wait to get an .mp3 of this.
What was so funny about it was that his voice was actually pretty decent, I'm sure he's a good singer in his native language And speaking of foreign languages, in Tuesday's show there was the Salsa singer, singing in Spanish, who got the golden ticket.
The only singer that really stood out for me was that black girl with the tattoos on her arm / head.

I think I've had my fill of pretty blond girls with a country twang.
And will the Oklahoma Governor guy be this year's Red Crooner/Chicken Little/Sanjaya? His voice is average at best, I do not know why they would put him through.

Is it just me or does it seem like most of the poor people that come on and sing horribly (and they just let them get thru to the judges because it gets laughs) have Asperger's?

- Country/Folk style singers. Usually blonde smiley chicks or a plain guy that can do a country singer impression
- The black woman "church" singer that sounds like pretty much ever female black singer, that just sings loud
- The scrawny white chick that decides that voice inflection + dissonance = great singing, ignoring tone and good taste
- The generic R&B "I'm doing an impression of Usher" male voice
- Any fake hipster doing a bad Sinatra impersonation
- Skinny white douche doing thinking he's a rocker and loves, say, nickelback
- Crazy motherfuckers that get the "third-place at the special olympics" courtesy clap when they do very bad karaoke at a local bar
95% of the auditions fall into those groups...It's to the point that I could watch it with the sound off and tell you how they sung, then rewind, turn on the sound and listen. Could be a drinking game.

You know, I can see the humour in the "Brothers Forever" guy - but this is still my all time favorite audition:
I can literally watch this 10x in a row. Leroy Wells - "Can You Dig it?"

Not as many awesomely bad people as last year, so a bit of a disappointment so far. Here's to hoping that some real nutjobs come out in CA. Best so far was the black dude, who was in the greenish suit and obviously missing bottom teeth, who sung like Corky from Life Goes On.

So, as a AI outsider/non-watcher, just following the press from time to time...
How creepy was male-virgin-with-Daddy's-heartkey?
I've always found those things creepy enough when they were Father/Daughter--like the F/D Purity Balls, etc....
I'm hoping the overtones here might have skeeved the whole nation. Ick!
(This religious sexual-abstinence crap has been proven time and again to actually encourage what it seeks to stop. Not to mention encouraging the associated lies and hypocrisy...)

I think Simon is totally bored of the show having seen all those types of singers that lordzeppelin described above. So now, he gets his kicks by trying to get Paula to be the mean one by splitting his vote with Randy and forcing Paula to choose to pass through some marginal talent.

I'd love to know how some of these people actually live day to day and function...fucking loons I tell ya!
