This is so great. I absolutely agree with everything, even your bias-ness towards Adam, haha. I cannot wait to see what they choose!

Ha! I thoroughly enjoyed this very detailed depiction and step-by-step commentary!

I think they brough Carly and Michael Johns back because they are just GOOD! They can sing almost anything and make it sound…GOOD! It’s American Idol’s way of promoting even some of those who don’t ultimately “win.” It’s better than bringing back Ruben Studdard or Clay Aiken, though the season’s just starting and I don’t want to put that particular energy out there.

I agree with you about promoting Tatiana’s “manic” side only to tear it down in front of milliions, and I also agree with you about the B.S. exchanging between the judges and Ryan which takes up precious viewing time. By the way, have you noticed that Paula is much more extroverted and outspoken this season? I wonder if she feels the need to compete now that Kara’s there…

Thanks
Dana

>>
There was the obligatory crowd shot, with Ryan intoning dramatically that it’s Idol’s biggest season yet. They auditioned over 100,000 hopefuls. Seriously? No wonder the judges look absolutely exhausted.”
>>

Just making sure you know that the Gang of Four don’t actually see 100,000 people. I don’t have an exact statistic, but friends who’ve auditioned say that about one in five who show up at the arenas get through to the televised judging. Granted, that’s still 20,000 people, which is still pretty ridiculous.

Comment on I Hit My High Note by The_WB

“I don’t know what I did wrong, I hit my high note” has to be one of the greatest clueless comments ever caught on film. Like there’s one note in the song, and all she has to do to win the judges over is hit… that… one… damn… note…

Comment on Twenty-Two Horses and a Donkey by Ross Bradley Plavsic

Ross Bradley Plavsic — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:04:03 +0000

I was the one (Ross Bradley Plavsic) on the show. My attitude wasn’t that it was the judges’ loss, my attitude was that I just didn’t care that much if I won or lost.

I had a lot of misapplied techniques in my performance, one of which caused voice fatigue which caused my “scratchy throat” feeling.

However, I’m a better singer now, and I’m working on spoken word pieces as well. For more info, see my youtube page.
