WHAT A DIFFERENCE A STATE MAKES!! Chicago...so completely foolish and untalented having only 13 people going to Hollywood.
Last night our dynamic trio was joined by Kristin Chenoweth who is this cute little petite thing with a gigantic resume for Broadway, television & movies. Kara attached to her like a leech and wouldn't let go! Well, I'd probably do the same thing...just because she's like a little pixy....like Tinkerbell!!
Anyhoo...
These auditions had some really good clips in it - there were plenty of "good" auditions with some interviews that had some really touching stories.
Seth Rollins is a dad who has a son with autism - his dream is to have a record deal to provide help for his little boy...what better tear-jerking song did he choose?? "Someone to Watch Over Me" Seth had a really nice/smooth voice and OF COURSE he got a coveted Golden Ticket!!
Another back story which was more funny than touching: Matt Lawrence who was thrown into the clink for robbing (of all things) a bank...with a BB gun!! Oy. He ended up spending FOUR birthdays in prison... Who says that? Who counts things like that? A little kid!! "How many sleeps until Christmas?!" Anyway, chose his life's song: "Trouble" It didn't blow me away, mostly because it isn't one of those songs that shows off vocals...However, he made it through.
Jay Stone was SUPER obnoxious!! He's the one who did the beat box/singing version of "Come Together" a la Blake Lewis. Blake wasn't as annoying...I think ONE beatboxer/singer per decade is enough!! After the drenching rendition, he made it through...much thanks to Kara and Randy. Hopefully, he won't make it into the top 12...I'm already tired of him!!
Now, I love my sisters....they're fabulous and I think we're close, but these two..it was scary. Bernadette and Amanda Desimone decided to audition together which - in my opinion - isn't a good idea. Sibling rivalry and all. Bernadette WAS the better of the two with her choice of "Hit the Road Jack" personally...odd song choice, but then again... so was "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" just...eeh.
Cornelius Edwards was absolutely a RIOT!! He had some interesting dance moves which he learned from some of his friends who "shed their clothes for money"!! That just made me LOL!! However...it WASN'T as funny as the jump split which, "Done split my pants!" I have some lyrics that come to mind: "...lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground" After all of that he discretely made his way to the exit complete with golden ticket! Let's hope there won't be a repeat of this wardrobe malfunction!!!
We DID have an American Idol first!! No, it wasn't the first time we've heard "Amazing Grace" and it wasn't the only time we've heard it where we wanted to stab our eardrums out with pencils
...it WAS the first time someone was arrested during an audition!! Awesome... something to tell the grandkids. "Grandpa...tell us about the time you tried out for American Idol!!"
Let me leave you with the best audition of the night.....
