'American Idol 7' - The Final Audition Show (yay)

Jackie's TV Blog, American Idol
I'm not finding the auditions this season as interesting as they were for me in seasons past. So i'm glad they're drawing to a close.

Right now there's a girl named Amy on the stage. She's good, but I don't think she's all that special.

Another voice from God church singer, Tiffany, is up next. I have bad vibes as they mock her intro with church music. Well, she yell-sings well enough.

Relationships betwixt contestants is the theme now ... a love triangle set to the theme from Three's Company. Twins Chris and Cory Lane, two of the love triangle, think they're some sort of rap moguls or suburban Eminems with no talent. They think they're white Brittenum twins. Blech.

Ah, but the girl of the trio comes in with an adorable puppy. Ashley is blonde and talks like Kellie Pickler. As a matter of fact, she reminds me of Kellie if Kellie couldn't sing. She doesn't make it at all -- Simon says that it was excruciating. She took her dog and skipped on out.

Caedin Lee McKinney is singing now. She has a big voice, but ... Simon thinks she's more theatrical than recording. Paula and Randy okay her, Simon nixes her. It's onto Hollywood.

A very pretty plus-sized model type is coming in -- she's from Hoboken and sang the National Anthem at Madison Square Garden. Very nice. Joanne defintitely could be a contender. Randy and Paula push her through while Simon says no. I disagree with Simon on rhia one.

Blonde Alesha (sp) Stelzl is on. Make her stop, please. Anyone who thinks they're beautiful and curls her eyebrows in public should be banned. No go for her. Simon called it dreadful and painful. Uh-oh, they told her to go learn a Dolly Parton song and return.

She learns "Islands in the Stream" and returns. Let's see. It's not as bad as first time around, for sure. I can't see her winning anything with it, but Randy and Paula push her through. @@

Weird audition times ahead. A stripping heavy girl and a potty-mouthed rocker. Then it's Jay Smoove. He thinks he's a;; that and he can do push ups. His real name is Joshua Moreland and he has his own song and pixie dust. Very odd, thankfully not scary. Simon sweeps up the pixie dust, but doesn't know how to use the broom.

It's a Simon is losing his mind segment. From where they are to names, he's lost it all. I'm glad he's not going for trying my name. A contestant from last year is back, Chikezie Ezie is up, Simon wanted to kill him last year but I don't remember him. He doesn't have a bad voice at all, but I can't see him being a huge star. But he makes it through to Hollywood.

Danny Noriega folded under pressure last year, but he's back. He could get the young girls in his camp I'm sure. He goes for the Tina Turner version of "Proud Mary." Randy loved the audition. All three judges say yes. Actually, he's someone I could see attracting an audience -- the Snajaya fans will love him and he has more talent.

So, the auditions are over.

Yay.

It's onto Hollywood next week. 164 made it through and instruments and drama are around the bend.

I don't recall anyone outstanding in these auditions, but I know they'll weed out the awful ones that probably shouldn't have gotten through in the first place. The better ones will improve with practice and coaching.

I'm looking forward to that part of the season.

Do Randy and Paula ever disagree on whom to put through?

I caved and ended up watching some of this one and I have to say,the three of them didn't seem as nasty as in seasons past. I agree with Joy that nobody really stood out and I think that the majority of the Paula/Randy "put throughs" will wash out pretty quick in Hollywood.Simon may be an ass,but he has a pretty good idea of what wins and will sell. I kinda liked Chikzie(sp?)and the last kid was okay,but his voice is still a little immature and untrained. The blond "Dolly" girl,,,you gotta be kidding!

SURVIVOR night.........yay!!!!!!!

Did not watch last night...can I say get to Hollywood quickly, because I am so getting over this show!!!

Since the writer's are on strike why could not Survivor be a 2 hr opening???

Jeff P was on the Early Show tis am: He said we will see why Johhny FP is the most notorious player ever! The 2nd episode will have a HUGE romance (seems kind of fast)!!!

Plus Survivor has never lost its time slot since 2003. Also when rumors have swirled that the show was over seasons ago, he laughed and said that is why last season they had a gravedigger!!!

Nothing else earthshaking, just that he has been on the Early Show for the season opner 16 times now!

TMZ has an article, supposedly talked with Trump and he says he would love B Spears on the next show. Ouch that would be a huge mistake if she lives that long! Anyways, what does she know about business as I feel she probably has a 6th grade education...if that!
