American Idol Season Six - Seattle auditions
Posted by sarahk at 10:51 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (12)

Reportedly the worst stop on the auditions tour this year.

Brandon Groves. The guy who sang "I Shot the Sheriff" to Paula last season. Now he is dressed as Uncle Sam to sing "God Bless America". And it's bad.

Jennifer Chapton. The hotness. "Give Me Your Love". Give me some earplugs. Wow, no wonder Paula went on the local Seattle show smashy smashed. She needed something to get through the pain of Seattle.

Not that I would have done. But wow.

Amy Salgado. Her husband isn't supportive of her auditioning. That's sad. But then again, she has a baby and responsibilities. Or... um. Maybe he wanted to spare her the embarrassment. He knew what would happen, because he's heard her sing. I hope she went home and just let him give her a big hug.

Darwin Misha Reedy. Um... did she forget her bra? Because her boobs are around her ankles, and that does not happen when you wear a bra. Ok, she's from Houston, Texas. And she just won't stop talking. And they've brought in her mother now. And she's singing that "Dontcha" song. And winner. Winner so far. Best of the worst. Oh my. Two peas in a pod wrapped up in a novella.

Thomas Daniels. Two notes in, I know he's going through to Hollywood. He's good. I love his vocal quality.

Melissa Carleen Stavros. She has a dog named Tika. As in Chicken Tikka Masala? Her voice sounded ok at first other than the nervous shaking, but she screwed up the words starting with about word #4, and then it went way downhill. And the outfit. Bad outfit. But her personality wasn't awful like most of these we've been seeing.

Blake Lewis. Seattle's beatboxing champion. Beatboxing was good, voice was very nice. Did too much on the song, I was saying, "Oh, don't go crazy now." And I don't want to sound obnoxious, but I heard hints of Mr. A to Z in there. I liked him. He was good, I'm glad he's through to Hollywood. Oh yeah, but he needs to do something about that porcupine fest he calls hair.

David Mills. No no no.

Shyamali Malakar. She is so beautiful. Beautiful voice, too, and I was mesmerized. Shy at first, and nervous, but I think she'll come out.

Sanjaya Malakar. Actually has better showmanship than his sister, and a little stronger voice. But her voice made me stop and clutch my chest. So he'd better watch out, because when she starts singing louder and stronger, she's going to blow him out of the water.

Both are through to Hollywood, deservedly. On our honeymoon cruise, there were these two little Indian kids singing in the karaoke bar with their parents and grandparents watching. They were so cute, a brother and sister. They were singing "A Whole New World" together. Perfectly, note for note.

I just noticed Paula has cut down on her collagen intake since last season.

Nicholas Zitzmann. How can "Unchained Melody" be anyone's favorite song anymore? It's been so overdone. Plus, Kellie Pickler did it last year, right? That there would put a person off it. Oh, and this is worse than Pickler! I think he should go be a software engineer in the Salt Lake City area. Oh my goodness. I want to bake him a pie. I really am almost crying for him, it's so sad.

I realize, yes, everyone, that I need a new person to hate on this season, but y'all are gonna have to wait until the Hollywood rounds. Until then, I love to hate on Pickler. Plus, she's just so cute.

Rudy Cardenas. Singing Journey to Randy, you'd better know what you're doing. I was pleased, and then Simon stopped it with an "It's a no." Randy and Paula saved him. He was a little cocky, but the voice was good, so I think Simon was just being cranky.

Kenneth Briggs. He immediately talks too much. He's doing "Tearing up My Heart" by 'NSYNC, NO WAY!! And HE'S DOING THE DANCE! Oh no, Simon, that was too far. You don't attack a person's natural physical appearance. Where is your line? Do you have one? "Simon can kiss my ***, because I don't look like a monkey." Quote of the day.

Jonathan Jayne. Kenneth's friend. Oh my goodness, it's like Cartman singing, no lie! "In the ghetto-o-o-o-o-o-o..." He actually hit notes, but the serious Cartman vibrato was a little scary.

Eric Chapman, who thinks he is Taylor Hicks's twin. It's a no.

Ryan says, "I'm average." The first step is admitting it.

Anna Kearns from Wichita Falls. Ok, when asked how tall she is, she says she's 6'7". That's her height with heels. But um, without heels, she's 6'4". So, when someone asks how tall she is, she should say she's 6'4". She's not 6'7". As to the singing, before the judges started, I told Frank, she's loud, but she's really not that good. She's going to Hollywood. Simon is pouting, because Randy and Paula were incredibly rude to them.

Jordin Sparks. Beautiful girl, beautiful voice.

Y'all know I just like to give Seacrest a hard time. I like the guy, he's just fun to give a hard time.

Steven Thoen. Haha, he says he's not a big fan of the show. And he's done "kuh-ro-ky" a few times. Does he think looking like Carrot Top is a big compliment? And he's only seen the show a couple of times. He's very polite to the judges. And I think they would like to be polite back, but he's singing "Bohemian Rhapsody", and yowza. I have to agree, that was about as high on the weirdness scale as it gets.

Next week, it's Memphis.

YIKES!.. Other than the few that got thru to Hollywood, Seattle did NOT do the rest of Washington state proud at all.
I feel shame.

Aah, the Kurt Cobain School of Musical Theory: "whine, bitch, moan, grunge, growl, yodel, scream, . . . BAM!!!"

Why would antone want to submit to the sheer torture of getting onto that show, only to become a professional "singer?" I'd rather see them haul an old British WWII Carter-Nelson air raid siren on stage and fire it up, because at least it can hold a pitch. In fact, it can hold two pitches at the same time, which is two more than 98% of Idol contestants. Also, it's not quite as loud, and when you cut the power, it eventually shuts up.

That last guy "red",

You have got to admit that was entertainment. A big guy walks out with a mean scowl on his face and starts singing like Tiny Tim "tiptoe the the tulips". I lost it right there.

Jennifer Chapton; The Notness.

I think Ms. Chapton might be related to Al Sharpton. She is about as attractive & has the same affliction of not being able to listen to the truth.

But in the light of general tolerance, I am very willing to share the razors I use to keep my facial hair in check with her. At least for as long as she doesn't try to sing my praises.

I thought Simon was mean to that monkey guy too. Picking on his voice is one thing, but how can that guy help looking like Golom from Lord of the Rings? Not his fault. Also, someone needs to share with that Darwin girl the joys of undergarments. That was a trainwreck. Now, I can't get that song out of my head and I am frightened.

#5 - Posted by: adamboysmom on January 18, 2007 08:14 AM

I am definitely going to root against that girl who sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Tuesday nite. Ugh. I hate that song so much, and as a result anyone who sings it should be bashed in the face with a frying pan.

Those Indian kids were the bright spots in a sea of suck, though, weren't they?

#6 - Posted by: NMUSpidey on January 18, 2007 09:15 AM

Well, Paula has managed to appear not once, but twice -- before the season has started -- drunk on television. Sheesh. Somebody put that girl in Betty Ford.

While I'll happily watch the auditions, if this season isn't light years better than last, I will be a very unhappy person. I hated them all last season. The best of them were worthless, one-trick ponies, and most of them weren't even that -- and that useless idiot who won, don't even get me started on that moron.

So this season, I hate them all until they give me reason not to. All. Hate them all. Every one. Hate them. Don't have to hear them, don't have to see them. I hate them all, whoever they are.

Unless there's somebody really good, there will be no fan club nonsense from me this season.

#7 - Posted by: rightwingprof on January 18, 2007 09:59 AM

Why only let the worst/self deluded and the best in to TV audition for this?

I'd like to see the top 1%

I don't really think people sucking eggs makes good TV.

Seattle is far left liberal country. When you look at these people think "these are the great minds of progressive thought".

You will never wonder again at the popularity of the nutroots blogosphere.

#9 - Posted by: sunrise on January 18, 2007 01:27 PM

NOW I understand why Paula drinks.
I grew up in Seattle.
Now YOU know why I left.

#10 - Posted by: Pete on January 18, 2007 02:40 PM

don't you mean Darwin and "her" "mother"?

jiminy, with a name like Darwin, you wouldn't think "she"d be a living, breathing debunking of natural selection

#11 - Posted by: me on January 18, 2007 03:09 PM

I think "the hotness" is a weapon of mass destruction. We could save water and toss the waterboarding and just use her hotness!
