So tonight were the first set of auditions for American Idol 7. Before it premiered, sources said that this year the focus would be the good auditions rather than the bad ones. For some reason, I didn't see that. There were still tons of bad auditions. I discuss it in this Talky Blog!
Detailed Notes:
Joey Catalano - Good. Will get to sing live, won't make it far after that.
Alaa Youkaeem (sp.?) - "Sexy face", bad. Sang How Deep is Your Love? by "Mr. The Bee-Gees"
Melanie Nyema - Decent. I don't see her going far based on this audition. Sang Unwritten.
James Lewis - This guy was hysterical. He sang Go Down, Moses and was terrible.
Zhengzhong Yu - Terrible. He sang All the Pretty Little Horses. It was just awful.
Junot Joyner - Good. Sang The Blues by Elton John. I'm not sure he'll make it too far.
Jose Candelaria - Pretty good. Sang a song in Spanish that I've heard in English.
Temptress Brown - Oh, my god. This girl was such a sad story. She plays football and her mom is very ill in a wheelchair. She tried to sing And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going. She was not good, but they treated her very nicely.
Udi Sampeet - Very bad. He was a singing accountant.
Alexis Cohen - Not 100% awful. She was crazy though. Rocker chick. Sang Don't You Want Somebody to Love.
Angela Martin - Has a child with RETTs. Sang very well. Sang Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
Milo Turk - First off, he was 39-years-old. He sang his own original song, No Sex Allowed. Very bad.
Kristy Lee Cook - Very good. She sang Amazing Grace. I see her going pretty far and doing well.
Ben Haar - OK, he was awful. He had a cloak and dressed up like Princess Leia. He tried to sing Don't Ya Wish Your Girlfriend. Paula told him he should wax his chest. So he went out, waxed and came back.
Paul Marturano - Paula Abdul stalker. Holy crap! He freaked me out. SKETCHY!
Beth Stalker - Very nice. Didn't sing a very memorable song (Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered), but she sang very nicely. She'll do well.
Chris Watson - Decent. Not the best. He'll go far though because of his looks.
Christina Tolisano - Another nutso. She thought she was Princess Leia too. She got all upset because they didn't take her. She couldn't sing, but she thought they thought she was a dork. Which she was.
Brooke White - Very good. She's going to do well. I liked her a lot.
And that's my take on the first night. Names in bold moved on to Hollywood.

I missed most of the show, but I caught the end of it with whiny Leia. WTF @ no diversity, has she never seen previous seasons of the show before?
I love Idina! I didn't know there were mixes of "Defying Gravity" available. It's funny, one of my first thoughts about Christina Talisano was that she SORT OF looked like Idina (I think it's her mouth, I'm not sure), but she sure doesn't have the pipes!
