It's Back!

New Season, New Judge, New Blog!

Ok, so I'm trying something new, blogging while I watch. Let me know what you think. Comment away, and let me know you're still with me.

0:07- This show is taking itself way to seriously. give me a break, you didn't cure
cancer, you found pop stars. Lets tone down the rhetoric and get back to the true talent and train wrecks.

0:12- Hey the new judge just got out of a limo, she's kinda cute. Hopefully this is all a plan to phase out Paula. Kara DioGuardi, nice name, let's see if you can contribute.

0:13- Ridiculous Afro Tap Dancer- you are not marketable, stop messing with MJ.

0:19- Simon calls out tattoo lady..."But you are turning your back on the band." This is why I love you Simon, calling it out.

0:27- Simon cuts off Randy Madden and reminds me again why I love him. Let's move on... oh wait, this guy is from Moorpark. That's my old hood...oh come on dude, you're not representing the 805 well.

0:28- Simon says "how do you think 'Straight Up' was written?" and I erupt in laughter. I don't intend this to be a Simon love fest, but he's cracking me up.

0:34- New judge sarcastically says "Randy, this is my moment" while a train wreck butchers her song. She makes me laugh, and it was 20 minutes since I'd said something about anyone but Simon.

0:45- 16 year old girl sings "put your records on" and earns 4 yeses. I think she just sounds good on that song and won't last. I also think yeses is a strange word.

1:00- Stevie Wright walks in and sings "At Last", her lower register isn't great in my opinion. Has some shining moments, but we'll see. An hour in no one is rocking my socks.

1:11- Bathing suit girl shows up and well, come on, give me a break. Then she has an OK voice... annoying to think of this clip being shown more frequently if she makes it to the top 12. If not, I am making a prediction, she will be on the stage at the Nokia theater in her bathing suit for the Season Finale.

1:34- Deana Brown has an obnoxious voice in my opinion and her eyes freak me out. I say NO! Why is everyone so stoked on this girl?

1:42- Realizing the show seems to be tighter and moving faster. I like that, less huge sweeping crowd shots and more singers.

1:48- Too bad they couldn't remove this whole bit where people all sing the same song.

1:54- Ok, here's the blind guy story...great... can he sing?

1:56- Not a great voice, but the story will get you to Hollywood.

1:57- I get a little choked up at the blind dude getting through... okay, no surprise, I'm a big baby.
