Anyone see the American Idol auditions last night from Minnesota. These auditions are hilarious. Saw a few hopefuls last night but a lot of embarrassing auditions also. Tonight they are going to be in Seattle. Simon claims Seattle had the worst auditions of all the cities. Memphis will be on next week. :clap_1:

....this is my confession. I just saw Phil and really wanted to stay home to wait for that crazy Sanjaja....Mr. K just did this...:roll: . Was it as bad as I think it was?SoWal Expert
I missed Jordin (my current fave) because the freakin' satellite went out during yet ANOTHER storm.
But, by gosh, it came back on in time for that one that followed her.
So, she was good? It looked good on the little recap afterwards. I thought Melinda was pretty good too tonight.

DD, Jordin was reeeaaally good tonight. Hopefully you can catch it later either on the website or youtube.

Let's just say that he is consistent and leave it at that.

Paula said Sanjaya must thrive on adversity. Regarding his look this week, he wore a bandana with hoop earrings in each ear. Sam said he looked like a girl again and I agreed. I feel like the producers are behind all of it. They know the more outrageous it gets the more publicity AI gets. It would be a very ho-hum season if we didn't have Sanjaya to talk about.

I think AI is rigged. And orchestrated down to the last musical note. You're right on the money, OL, about the producers being behind it. Didn't it seem totally phoney tonight the way Ryan Seacrest went on and on about Sanjaya--and said not a peep about any of the other contestants? The judges were a lot harsher on some of the others than they were on Sanjaya but Seacrest didn't play devil's advocate for anyone but Sanjaya.
I think we've all been taken for a bunch of dumb schmucks! And I don't think Sanjaya is as innocent and sweet as he's portrayed, either. Something's really fishy about how well he's taking all this. Normal people would have fallen to pieces by now if they were given the criticism that he's gotten, and yet he's oddly unaffected by it. He even seems to think it's all kinda funny. Why? I smell a dead fish somewhere.

Y'all...this season is just painful to watch. I try, but it's hard.

ditto and I have always been an AI fan, but this year it's just not interesting, except for Sanjaya, maybe that's the reason they are keeping him on.

I hope Sanjaya doesn't end up being dysfunctional... just a cute kid who is playing it up for the camera. He seemed flirty and like he was having fun and making some fun of himself as well. So far, he seems fine. If his sister was indeed posing nude that's not a good sign. If he poses nude, it would be frightening...I heard naked, and had to check it out. Found her rather quickly, but nude
? There is a big guitar covering most of her body, and that is a good thing too, because she looks young enough to get an 18 year old, or an old man, into Trouble, with a capital T.Beach Fanatic
My 2 favorites have been Sanjaya and Phil. Phil was awesome last night - finally had a song to show off his voice. Sanjaya was not good last night, maybe voted off today
I think there were a few people last night who had performances that were not so great as well.
Phil, Melinda and Jordin were outstanding, but Melinda had the crowd!

I think the bottom three will include Sanjaya, probably Lakisha, and either Blake or Chris, probably Blake. Blake hit many sour notes, Lakisha hit a few, and Sanjaya was awful on that song. Melinda was fantastic. She will win the entire competition. I have yet to hear a bad note out of her.

I think AI is definately running this whole thing. Sanjina probably has a fat check coming to take all this.....IMHO

Shut up! I think everyone got bored with the "movement".
I still can't get into this season.

When me and my husband watched the show last night I picked then the bottom three. I knew it would be Sanjaya, Lakisha, and Blake, although Chris wasn't that hot either. Sanjaya was kind of like a cat with nine lives. But those nine lives ran out tonight. He was horrible last night. In the end, I still feel certain it will be Melinda to win it all. She does no wrong out on the stage.

Yep, they were done with it I think...and there's no denying he was not very good last night.

Lady, you're probably right about Melinda. But I think Jordin could give her a run for her money.
Beach Fanatic
Oh my gosh. If Lakisha had gone and left him there I would have died! He was crying.......a lot. He'll do fine!
Dial Idol had Phil in the top (???) and Sanjaya, Lakisha and Blake in the bottom. They got the bottom right which is not always the case.

Jordin sang great last night. She must have had her Wheaties or something. After hearing Lakisha last night I do not think she will make it to the finals now, she will really have to nail the next several shows performances to make it into the finals. Of course, Blake is at risk of the bottom 3 next week as is Chris. It is getting down to dog eat dog now as the only consistently strong performer every week is Melinda.
