So I finally got around to watching the Seattle auditions. They were pretty dreadful although I really don't think any of them was anywhere near the level of, say, a William Hung or that Keith guy from season 2 (the "Like a Virgin" guy . . . anyone else remember him?) Okay, that "bush baby" guy was pretty icky and that weird computer guy who couldn't find his stuff . . . wow!
Several of the people, though, I thought, "You know, I can see how these people think they're good singers." They weren't spectacularly BAD, just not good enough to be pop stars.
Favorite moments:
1. The "Bush Baby" line from Simon. We seriously rewound that and watched it about ten times. It was just the way he said it -- "bush baby." Priceless! The only thing . . . Bush Baby and his friend (who -- okay, I have to ask -- was he mentally challenged?) -- how many times is Idol going to ride that "they became the best of friends waiting on line to audition" pony? It feels like they've done it at least two or three times already. I am willing to bet those two end up with primo seats at the finale in May.
2. I loved the two Indian kids -- the brother and sister. They were adorable. Imagine the great drama of a final two that pits adorable teen dream brother versus cute, sassy sister. OH THE DRAMA! It'll never happen, but the ratings would be intense!
Overall, though, I kinda feel like Idol is off this season. The "good" ones haven't been THAT good and the "bad" ones haven't been that bad. Maybe America has run out of undiscovered talent and delusional misfits.
