Watching them eviscerate that poor hick last night was pretty fucked up. Not only were all the judges total fuckwads, but the editing of that "near-death" scene was patheticly mean.

Agree. That actually made me angry. Assholes.

BTW, where was the guy that was thrown in the back of a cop car? They kept showing upcoming scenes and one was where someone was arrested. I assumed it was a disgruntled contestant. But they never showed anything. Did I miss something?

I feel that way about the live shows. Those are just plain painful.
The auditions are the only enjoyable part of this show.


Awesome kids in the car clapping at that idiot outside the building

It's even worse when you realize how AI actually puts these auditions together. TV coverage makes it look like the whole thing happens in a couple of days. But the actual process takes weeks, with multiple call-backs for the people that get shown (even if they destroyed by the judges). That means for saps like this guy, producers are talking them up for weeks, encouraging them up to their faces while laughing behind their backs at how funny it will be when the real judges finally see them

Yeah, deceptive promos at their finest. I also had that impression. Though I should've known something that interesting wouldn't be shown.

Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread

Here's a very good list of who has made it to Hollywood, as well as some information on who has been cut in Hollywood (the Hollywood rounds are happening now). Major spoilers of course.

And the Pants on the Ground guy, General Larry Platt, was pretty involved in the Civil Rights movement of the ‘60s, you can read more about him here:

I thought Mary was kinda bored by Mallory's performance, so she surprised me with her comments, and I didn't really think Mallory's vocals were all that hot, but her physical gifts pushed her across the finish line for the yellow ticket.

Why do Mallory's pictures on Myspace not look like her when compared to her appearance on AI Wednesday night? She just looks different.

Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread

Here are the myspace pages of two of the singers who have made it into the Top 50:



Both are good.

Update: Here is one that has made it to the Top 24 (the finalists), it is a person you've seen before:

Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread

Shania Twain did a good job, much better than the last two guest judges.

As far as the contestants shown on the show, here is what happens to them:

Spoiler:
Katelyn Epperly, the blonde whose parents are divorced: Top 24
John Park, Asian singer: Top 24

Charity Vance, girl who works in hair salon with faint voice: Status unknown

Angela Martin, the girl who had to leave Hollywood last year: Cut at the Top 50
Justin Ray, from the final montage of three: Cut at the Top 50

Paige Dechausse, girl with asthma: cut in Hollywood
The other two guys in the final montage, Keith Semple, and Marcus Jones: cut in Hollywood.


And remember Ayla Brown from Season 6, the tall girl who played basketball and whose father was a Massachusetts state legislater? She made it to the Top 14 that year. Her father is Scott Brown who just won the Massachusetts US Senate Seat vacated by Ted Kennedy. The guy all over the news.

Here is Ayla and her father:



Edit: Remember Angela Martin, the girl whose father died a week before Hollywood Week in Season 7 and who had to leave Hollywood in Season 8 because of a traffic warrant? The girl from the Chicago Audition who went through to Hollywood for Season 9? This year, the day after new years and about a week before the Top 24 were decided, her mother went missing and hasn't been heard from since.

'Idol' Contestant Searches for Missing Mom

Updated: Thursday, 31 Dec 2009, 9:30 AM CST
Published : Thursday, 31 Dec 2009, 9:29 AM CST

It's been five days since Angela Martin last saw her mother, Viola Brown Martin.

After spending Christmas dinner with her family, Angela says Viola got in her car Saturday for a twenty-minute trip to visit another daughter, but never made it there.

The lack of contact is especially unnerving for Angela, because she's awaiting the start of season 9 of American Idol.

The south suburban singer seems destined for a good run on the show, given what's shown in this promotional commercial.

This is Angela's second time on Idol. She got to the second round her last go-around, despite the murder of her father just before her Los Angeles try-out.

It's a past that gnaws hard on her tonight.

Today, police found her car near the south suburbs of Riverdale and Dixmoor, nowhere near her destination five days ago.

Her boyfriend was the last to see Viola, and just hopes she's okay.
