Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread
Does Neil Patrick Harris think this is his show or what!? Leading the questions ("So, what are you going to sing?") to wrapping it up "So Randy, what do you think?"). I had to laugh. No other guest host has ever done this before.

What a drop-off in the 2nd half from NPH to the Jonas bro.

NPH was awesome. He would be 100x better than Ellen as the 4th judge. I don't understand the love for the dominatrix barney girl and that last girl that is 16 years old. I thought their vocal were weak.

They are serverly casting to load the deck so a girl will win this season. Both Barney girl and the 16 year old girl have average voices.

And counting down the days until Ellen makes this her show (ugh!). And I'm a huge fan of hers. I just know what she's capable of as a judge based on "So You Think You Can Dance". It's gonna be so painful.

Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread
the barney girl wasn't that bad.. i thought the blonde girl with the blue shirt and white shorts wasn't worthy of a golden ticket.

General thoughts on guest judges:
Avril L. : something about her I couldn't stand, maybe it was the stoopid hoodie. Offered nothing.
Katy Perry: looked HOT. Loved how she clashed with Kara.
Neil PH: smug little shit.
Jonas brother: eh, not bad.
Kara is not as offensive as I would have expected. However, this show is pulling out all the punches with the crazy editing (Barney, anyone). Hoping the hollywood episodes bring it back a bit.

This show is so staged. The Katy Perry and Kara clashing? Neil PH and Simon?? Come on. None of it was tense or edgy. Just obvious. I agree with you though that Katy looked hot. She always does. I have a feeling she's a three hit wonder. Another Top 10 album and maybe another top 10 hit, but that's it for this chick. And yes, there was something very annoying about Avril L.

I missed tonight's show due to the stupid State of the Union address (My TV Guide said it would air at 9:00). Any idea where i can watch this online?

Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread
I didn't see NPH and Simon clashing. All I saw were random clips of one guy saying NO and the other one saying YES, and then switching. They weren't necessarily even from the same contestants.
I really really really wish the Tourette's guy had the coprolalia variety. That way every song would be peppered with shitpissfuck****.
Barney girl wasn't that good at all. Medicore voice at best.
I love Ellen and think she's hilarious, but if she's allowed free rein, the show will suffer. I can picture them running out of time every week because she goes off on a 5 minute tangent just for some laughs.
TIRED of the sob stories. You had cancer? Don't care. Daddy beat your ass every day for 15 years? Yawn. Your kids are going hungry? TFS.
Another small thing that bugs me is when the contestants do the yellow-ticket-fake-out for their families.
Are there more auditions next week, or have we gotten to Hollywood yet?

It will be interesting to see how he does with other styles of music.
And if you find yourself picking up a 10 inch knife and stabbing somebody multiple times because of an American Idol disagreement, you are taking it way too serioiusly. And yes, it happened in Florida.

Police: Argument over "American Idol" leads to stabbing, arrest
By Katie Sanders, Times Staff Writer
Posted: Jan 27, 2010 12:55 PM
ST. PETERSBURG — Police said a St. Petersburg woman took a TV dispute too far Tuesday night when she stabbed and scalded her boyfriend over "American Idol.''
Police arrested Cynthia E. Bettis-Ware, 52, on a charge of first-degree attempted murder of Kevin Johnson, 47.
It happened at 11:22 p.m. at the Empress Motel, 1501 Martin Luther King St. N, which the couple listed as their permanent address, said police spokeswoman Jennifer Dawkins.
The couple were watching American Idol when they began arguing over something that happened on the show, Dawkins said. He changed the channel to stop the argument, Dawkins said, but she kept arguing so "he decided, 'Well, I'll go to bed.'''
He awoke to Bettis-Ware wielding a 10-inch butcher knife. She stabbed him five times in the back and twice in the chest, an arrest affidavit states. Police said she also severely burned Johnson with hot cocoa.
Johnson took the knife from her and ran to the motel parking lot, Dawkins said. Bettis-Ware chased after him with another knife, she said.
Soon a crowd formed and someone called police, who arrested Bettis-Ware in her motel room, she said. She was being held without bail in the Pinellas County jail Wednesday.

Holy shit, Avril Lavigne is a worthless piece of skin. "I like the rasp in your voice. It's punk rock" ..Like ties are punk rock? or dudes from Sum 41 are punk rock? Or hoodies with horns, cameras, and american idol are punk rock? Bitch is clueless....Doesn't help that she was totally confused by the sound of voices that were singing on pitch without the aid of autotune.

Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread
I guess I'm alone, but I kinda liked Avril Lavigne. It was nice having a guest judge who just wasn't a rubber stamp to the other judges (she actually said no AFTER Simon said yes).
Going forward, I also like Katy Perry (for multiple reasons!), and I thought NPH did the best job of them all. From what we saw I thought the Jonas brother was pretty useless.

Mike Walker was on Stern just now and said that Ellen and Simon are barely on speaking terms. They were all supposed to shoot some clip or promo last week and Cowell was an hour late and Ellen said "Fuck it, let's just shoot it". Walker also said he's been hearing Ellen wants to take over "Idol" completely when Cowell leaves.

Re: American Idol Season 9 Auditions Thread
Sorry pal but you're full of it. Personally, I have no great love for Avril's music but that kid can sing. I recommend you check out her performance at the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony. And she did NOT lip sync. And she did it in front of a billion people. Sure, she's a bobble head, but don't say she can't sing.
