Anyone else think that super flamboyantly gay guy was a complete act?

You mean Ian? Unfortunately, I have a sense that he's exactly like that in real life. Obviously had no real interest in AI, though...probably just wants some TV time so he can luckbox into some acting gig or something.

I wish AI would stop giving so much screen time to these obvious famewhores. He wasn't funny and he wasn't interesting. Stick with the crappy singers who really think they're awesome, self-delusion is much more entertaining.

I loved the crazy girl who knew she couldn't sing but wanted to be the first American Idol who couldn't sing. Then ranted about the judges being out drinking.

I love crazy people.

---the Simon look alike was sad, he has one of the best female vocals in the show, but they could not package and market him, and Paula was acting like a baby and would not let Simon make his suggestions, i wonder what Simon was going to say

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought it was Paula who wanted to make suggestions, and Simon who kept interrupting her because it was irrelevant to the competition.

but I urge everybody not to put too much stock in these early auditions. Many great contestants come out of nowhere, and just because we saw Taylor's audition last year does not mean we will see the winner's first audition this year (until he/she makes it far, and then they show it to fill time during a results show)

Case in point... they said they passed like 30 people from NYC but I think they only showed 4 or so of those 30 audition.

Melinda Doolittle can belt it, but she has no chance of winning. She reminds me of Paris from last year but with a slightly better voice and much less charisma.

[/ QUOTE ]

once someone said paris' face looked like gary coleman, i found it hard to watch her.

[/ QUOTE ]

she always reminded me of James Brown... =D

Most painfully dull and annoying segment they have ever had in the audition rounds. Went on way too long. 2 more good singers could have filled that spot.

Few thoughts
-They spent way too much time on that Ian guy, he was ridiculous and annoying. I love that Simon called him a hack (not in so many words)
-The only singers I remember who I thought were good were Sundance, the girl who closed out the first day, and Castro...I'm very interested to see what happens with him, I thought he had a pretty cool voice but not sure where it's going. Oh and the "taye Diggs" guy, as you call him, sang well and looked good, although I can't believe he's 16.
-The crazy girl was greatly entertaining, especially with my friend's commentary who thought her first burst of insanity was hot. Then it turned into a completely crazy rant and all bets were off.
