American Idol returns!

What was the pretty girl in the black and white outfit and curly hair? She was from South America I believe and she went through.

Charo!! Cootchie Cootchie!!! 

What does everyone think about the British guy who auditioned for American Idol.  He is originally from Manchester and was once in a boy band in Britain called North and South.  He now lives in Boston. 

I was more thinking about the unfair advantage he has having been a professional pop singer, rather than where he was from. I wonder how he got in, aren't they supposed to be more or less amateurs?

What about Count Dracula?? Do you think he will be back next year? I wondered did they make him turn up his collar, I think they did.

Wot about the girl whos boss flew her and her sister out there to audition?.... There HAS to be something going on there.


Half the time I'm watching the show I'm sitting there thinking WTF. These people can not be serious. Like the guy who Simon says looks like a monkey because of how big his eyes are and then his friend who came on after him who sang that America song.
If I were one of the judges, I'd be really pissed off at all the people who waste my time lol

At one time, perhaps... but now since it's such a huge part of the entertainment of the show, and what's helped make the show, and how much money they're all making because of the show... y'know...?
I have a sneaky suspicion that's one reason Simon's 'lightened' up a bit over the years.

True. I thought they were supposed to basically be people that hadn't been signed to anything.  But I suppose he might not be at the moment.  I kinda think he had his moment of fame.

I'll admit that I only watch the auditions.  Once they ship everyone off to Hollywood, I stop watching.

Well... until the last ten minutes of the final episode.

Right there with ya!

Can anyone tell me if there are one or two episodes of auditions on tonight?  Thanks!

OY!  Four hours straight of Idol.  I can't believe how few people they put through too.  I LOVED the British guy.  (So did Paula, did you see her, I think she wanted to climb over that table)

He was gorgeous, you could not have missed him.  He was on the second night I believe closer to the end.
