Baba O'Reilley is the first song we are treated to in the sixth season of American Idol, but after a little bit of tooting its own horn, the seacrest/AM I machine segways into Minneapolis via our own Prince. If you didnt see the mans performance on the season finale of american idol last year, find it on youtube. i think i called it the most erotic thing ive ever seen on primetime.
jewel is the first honorary celebrity judge of the season and, coincidentally, her hit 'dreams last', is the first song we get to enjoy from a contestant in this brand new season. in true american idol fashion, there are tears before there are any actual notes sung beacuase jewel happens to be the idol of our first contestant,
a young makeup artist at the mall of america. while that does sound like exactly what america is looking for, somehow she doesnt woo the judges and jewel is less than impressed with the rendition laid down.
amish chic is up next. never seen the show and doesnt own a television. sometimes you just wish they wouldnt put the people on who clearly just want to be on television or whateves and really dont think they have a shot. but perhaps almost as comical as the looks on the judges faces is the looks of determination on the contestants' faces. some of these people really believe in themselves. they woke up that morning, looked in the morro and told themselves that they were going to earn that gold piece ofd paper that would carry htem to hollywood. wait, maybe thats not comical at all.
this guy with the apollo creed suit, i mean really. even if he were a brilliant singer, what on earth would the judges say?
denise the crackbaby from madison. big voice. the first person we see in this new season get through to the next round.
american idol appeal for people to remember the lyrics to the songs they choose. our first minneapolis native gets upo there and cant recall how princes song kiss goes.
'do you like spanish girls?' asks the columbian born perla to ryan seacrest before murdering debbie harry. then randy asks for her to do hips dont lie and suddenly they like her? wow sometimes the judges surprise me.
i love when randy bursts out laughing during a performance nad people trail off
the sailor who does rascall flatts, looks like i have an early rival, just becuase they spent so much time with the lead in to this guy with the ship and the unanimous judges saying yes to him. the reagan idol
the wizard of oz lion chick from brainard?? haha sounds more like chubaca than any roar ive ever heard. simon says 'what am i supposed to say?' looking absolutely baffled. no sweetheart, the judges don want eh poster you made either.
the vocal coach?? who would give this guy money? ill tell you who. the very same people who voted for kellie pickler last year.
the cute girl from excelsior is happier that she can qquit her job than to go to hollywood
then the chick whose boss flew her to mpls to re-audition - wierd yo.
maplewood mamas and papas dude. huh?! hollywood eh?
minnetonka mechanic girl whose huband is is iraq. fuck its hard to not root for her. shes in the reserves. comes to the audition in fatigue. army reservist. actuallt pretty good. simon knows america likes its military, or at least wont say that dont, so shes the second military person simon says 'i think america will like you' to.
eu-claire, going to school in d-town?! yes! send a duluthian to hollywood, please! oh man and she actually is good. -its so fun to hear all these names of cities that most of the american idol watchers have never heard of. unanimously going to hollywood, is ms euclaire. awesome.
brenna watches englands pop idol, candaian idol, australian idol, has every episode on tape, etc...ace young drew her a tatoo. almost as bad as it can possibly get ss.
10 years of training down the drain. a degree in vocal performance.
burnsville guy with the twirling sticks. 'useless at everything' is how simon sums up the minneapolis experiment. juggling is just my entertainment its not my life is what he says when seacrest suggests tht amaybe singing really isnt what hell become famous for.
the prince medley!! prince will never be on this show again man, randy says. haha
our chisago city rocker gets to try again with abba, but hes mos def better off sticking with his band.
so 17 out of 10000 people made it to hollywood. tomorrow night, american idol goes to seattle, just like bri and i will be in a month. thats totally how i roll nowadays, im on am i tour yo
Out here in the fields...
