So many people I know say that they can't watch American Idol because they don't want to see the judges be cruel to the poor schnooks who think they can sing well and really can't. Well, I still think Simon was too mean tonight. Man, I sound like a broken record, but I can't get past that. I hate mean. What can I say? Does anyone else feel this way that is reading this blog? Okay, maybe it's not exciting TV, but can't they just say, "you need to keep working on your voice. Take some lessons; here's Vickie's number."
Okay, besides that, it was a very entertaining show tonight. Better than last night for sure. There was some impressive talent. The very last woman to sing was my favorite-Lil Rounds. Wow, she had some chops! Of course I was moved by Danny Gokey, the guy whose wife just died and he could sing as well. I was pleasantly surprised by Anoop, the geeky guy: soulful and fun. All in all, I look forward to more exceptional singers. I thought the first singer was really good, but I didn't remember her name. She was beautiful, charming and could really sing, the most commercial of anyone I've seen. I'll bet she is in the top 5 finalists. Who did you like? I'd love to hear back from you. Looking forward to next week. Is it really going to be on during the Inaugeration?

I agree with you about the contestants. I disagree, in part, about Simon. Yes, he gives good tv. But, some of these people have absolutely no hope of ever singing on a stage (and probably shouldn't even sing in the shower). As I watched some of the auditions, I thought, "Why are you here? Stop hurting my ears." Simon tells the truth. I can't wait to see what next week brings.
Well, I messed up the comment above...anyway, Vickie, I'm glad your back with your blog for another season. I haven't caught the audition episodes yet (usually begin viewing once they get to Hollywood). Looking forward to your thoughts on the new contestants.
(You stay warm too...enough with this cold already.)
Great to have your comments and glad you are back again this year! I do agree that some of the singers are really difficult to listen to, and yes, Simon tells his truth, it's just the way he says it that bugs me. Rude and cruel,and that to me is unnecessary. I prefer kindness and honesty; is that possible? But, the singers know what they are up against before they get there. so that's show business. I'm liking Kara, she doesn't let Simon push her around, and she tells people the truth directly and constructively.
