After she was on I was trying to teach my mom to "roar" like she did.

All I can say is WOW. That was bad. 17 out of 10,000 made it through. But I heard Seattle wasn't much better. What about juggler boy. Whata cry baby. He acts like that because his mom is over there telling him he is going to be famous. Yeah. Famous for being a cry baby!!

She was really good as the cowardly lion.
They should have sent her to Hollywood.

I am ready for it to come on again tonight. Hopefully it will have a few more good singers. Although I love to laugh at the bad ones!!

It doesnt look like they will be any better! The previews weren't hopeful


A girl I know back home actually went to the Target Center to try out-she said the process is really odd, not everyone that goes there gets to audition infront of Randy, Paula & Simon.

my firend did the one in cleveland a couple years ago and there are like 3 other judging sessions you have to get thru to get in front of Simon and crew- although I think they send some in for comic relief
and ratings of course!

Thats what she said - there were tables where 4 of you sang for 8 seconds- if they didnt like you, you didn't get thru!

She said they were only really looking for a few finalists from MN!

I'm with you on this one. I love watching the auditions, then I don't watch another episode until they are down to like the last 6 or 8 finalists. I just don't like any of the stuff in between.

As a side note - did any of you notice the changes in the judges? (Besides Paula being drunk or high on something again.
) My kids and I were talking about Simon and Randy. It almost seems as if they've swapped personalities. Simon was rather nice last night. He was the first many times to say the person was in. Randy on the other hand was ruthless! My kids said they started to see a change like that a little bit last season, but this season was really different they thought. Almost seems like Simon has backed off a bit and Randy's had enough of the tone deaf.

to me, it seems like when Randy lays into someone, Simon replies by saying how rude, or whatever, but he only says nice things when Randy says bad things
just my observation and yes Paula is definitely strung out on something, she barely had a coherent comment the whole show

I thought that too- I also read/heard on TV that her and Jewel got into a fight during the auditions- I thought they were going to show it- but I didn't see anything
Maybe she just hated Jewel?

REally? I hadn't heard that, but I'm not surprised
maybe she doesn't like Jewel cause she's actually had a hit in the last 15 years??

Well, since Jewel is so much cuter... LOL

I know someone who's cousin tried to audition and the basic gist of it is if you aren't good for ratings Ie: comical (like the juggler or wookie), good (didn't see any really) or have a dramatic life (like the crack baby)... then you won't make it very far at all.
