American Idol-Season 7-San Diego and Charleston

The best part of American Idol is when the auditions are over-how many days do we need to suffer through the untalented, the deluded, the deranged unsinging masses? Is there anyone in the 12,000 people in San Diego that has any singing talent? First there was Monique and out of her mouth, not a sound, not a note, not a thing, Monique keep your day job. Then there was the mime and Pancho villa duet-what is this a talent show or a costume show? There was a paper airplane carrying love notes to Simon-yes, there are many women who think he's hot (and I'm one of them!) and as my daughter said "Mom have you noticed that Simon is nicer this year?" Simon what has happened? have you gone into therapy? taken anger management classes? found religion? He even let the brother and sister, Michelle and Jeffrey, the duet from Charleston go through because he couldn't break them up! Simon's a softy, Simon's a softy!

Simon did manage to show his sassy side however, when this poor girl showed up and Simon asked her if she was dressed by three different people. I think he gets more irate when an auditioner shows up badly dressed and then sings horrible to boot.

A special shout out to our flower child Alberto, Mr. 8000, you know the one with the long hair and the long fingernails and sang like a gloomy Gus? At least his mother thinks he has talent-Alberto go to a park and make yourself a daisy chain necklace!

PS-if you still want more outtakes of Idol castoffs you can view them on Idol Wrap on the TV guide Network. I actually saw Mr. Angel- you know the one that had the white feather hat that had Simon on it, and was wearing a white cape, giving his critiques-jeez, how do I get signed onto something like that? Next week they are promising to have our flower child, Alberto, I guess they are really giving each one their 15 minutes of fame. -Single D

Simon is getting soft in his old age, that or he just knew that first contestant in San Diego will fall on her face. Like he said, she is good but not great. Don't look for her in round two. She was followed by the heart string tugging widowed father who really was good. Then there was Michael from Australia - 2 words, hubba hubba!! He's good too ;)

Doesn't this show have like pre-screeners? I mean, come on, since when was any American Idol a mime?! And the one guy who has auditioned 11 times - when do you get it? At least he left the Statue of Liberty costume home this time (he still didn't get it).

Alberto the 3 inch nail flower child. What can we say about him? Plenty! But I'll just say, take those fans and go back to sniffing your flowers or whatever you have been sniffing.

The auditions can be entertaining. I was actually feeling sorry for Simon, he really hasn't been hard on anyone but the hopelessly untalented people always come out saying how he bashed them. I'm there for you Simon! Double D
