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:

I'm having alot of trouble actually caring who wins. I never got into it much this season.

Blaze of Glory has to be my favorite song of the season, followed closely by This Ain't No Love Song! That was the "I'm telling you what song" last night of Stayin Alive. Didn't want to make me dance, but I did want to shout and say H--L Yeah! You go Lakisha! I'm hoping for Melinda to win it all!

All these "kids" are so sweet! Jordin is winning it all. Take it to the bank and make me a scarf!

We didn't discuss who owes what if Blake wins, which he won't, but if he does, I say neither of us owes the other a scarf.
What dddddddddid you you you you sssssssssssssay?

I know you are right, as Ryan called it 4 weeks ago. Randy was on Conan last Friday, told everyone Lakisha was going home then. There is a rumor that travel arrangements had already been made for Lakisha, prior to the show.
I am just kind of sad how it all works. The article from Tony Bennett, telling Simon that he didn't agree with how cruel he was to the kids and that he should open clubs to develop the talent and get exposure without the extreme cruelty and Simon's response? I'm too busy making money! I don't believe Tony had the flu that caused him not to sing. I believe he is a genuine, musical genius and the fact that his opinions were in opposite directions from Simon's, he felt he had to respectfully bow out.
That said, I'm still going to see the tour and hear them in person. I hope they all do well, which I believe they will. Some words you just can't take back, though!

Does anyone agree this is the weakest season in terms of talent? Who wants Paula back on meds?

I know that I don't enjoy it as much as I did when Taylor won or the year before when Carrie and Beau were in the finals. I don't love any of them like I have in previous seasons. I like Jordin, but I won't be rushing out to buy anyone's CD. (More money for the next trip to Sowal

Seems AI has drained America's talent pool dry. At least, the pool which would be willing to sell their future performance rights. This is evident by two things; first, this years talent is woefully lacking and second, last night did anyone else hear AI is looking for BANDS now instead of just singers?

- IMO, Blake is the only one who stands out, remnds me of Morrisey, "the smiths" , i like him b/c of being different although beatboxing in every song is old
- Jordin is great, she could give doolittle a run for her $$
- Lakisha was great, just could not pull it off. I hope it betters her life, it seems she came up in hard times....

My money's on Jordin. She can wail on it or sing softly - - any of it. Just think how she'll be in 4 or 5 years.
Melinda can also sing but she can only sing one style; the same way every time. I personally think her style is "old" sounding.
Blake is definatley good too, but the beatboxing is beginning to sound as if the CD is skipping.

The end of the school year is when all the concerts are. Very busy time. We have one to attend tonight, one on Sunday & about 3 over the next 2 weeks!
Does Sam play the violin??

Jordin will win. We just laughed our a**es off when blake butchered those songs. Just sing without the sound effects! We get it... you can sound like a scratched record. This is a singing competition.

A good friend of mine lives in Seattle, and her brother recently married an Italian girl who is living in the States for the first time. Just got this email from my friend today; seems the SIL met Blake Lewis:
She was downtown the other day buying some shoes and this guy was buying shoes too (Blake), and he was chatting with her, etc. Flirting probably, lol. Anyway, she doesn't watch the show so she had no idea who he was. She left Nordies and saw a big crowd gathered to watch a concert in the square so she hung out to watch. As the bodyguards were walking the perfomer in, he touched her on the arm and said hey, and she was like what the he** is the guy from the shoe department doing?! lol Anyway, she'll be watching Tuesday night for sure, lol.

Okay, so I'm a big Jordin fan. IMHO tonight Blake was first, Melinda second, and Jordin third. Blake had no fear, Melinda was just rock steady, and Jordin was a bit pedestrian in comparison. Again, just MHO.
But then I love The Police, so Blake got my interest with "Roxanne."

Go Melinda! She rocked Nut Bush City Limits - although in my heart, Bob Seger is the King of Nut Bush City Limits! I'm hoping for Jordin/Melinda dueling divas!
