Sorry I didn't give the recap earlier but I was real busy so I saved the TIVO of American Idol and Jersey Shore for when they had that Haiti thing on. So let's review the Tampa tryouts.
Most of the auditions were horrible. You know the one's they want to pimp are the ones with the little videos attached. I wonder if they film them after they get chosen to go to Hollywood. You have to figure that they almost have to do that so that makes most of them remarkably phony to say the least.
One of the first to get through is this big dude singing "Someone to Watch over Me."
His bullshit story it that his kid is autistic but he seem pretty normal in the clips. He gets through but I don't think he will last too long in Hollywood.
Oh the extra judge is Kristin Chenoweth and Kara has a big girl crush on her. She is remarkably talented and knows tons more about singing than any of the other judges but with all that she is very kind to the kids trying out. Just goes to show you, if you can do it you don't have to act like such a dick. It's the Buck Showalter syndrome. Buck never made it to the big show so he had to control everything and humiliate everybody. Now Joe Torre was an all-star for many years and won the MVP so he didn't sweat the small stuff. Something that twat Kara should look into.
The last contestant is this half a face girl who grew up with a half paralysed face. They put her through but there was no way she deserved it. I mean I felt the same way I do when I am watching Dick Clark on New Years Eve. Please you have to be kidding me. I think they figure it will be easier to drop her in Hollywood where she can get lost in the shuffle and it won't seem like they are being cruel.
The next day they had this crazy dude who couldn't sing for crap and they definitely filmed the preamble before because the cops had to haul his ass out in cuffs. I am surprised that didn't happen more often to tell you the truth. They should have arrested the first dude with the cape on general principles but what are you gonna do.
They had a former contestant from prior years with a smooth delivery of "Smile." He has a chance to get to the final 24 but it will remain to be seen what group he ends up with in Hollywood. That often determines if you are going to make it.
This maniac beat box guy who looks to be about forty got through on a plea bargain from Kara. Why anybody would listen to her is beyond me. Man they made a big, big mistake dumping Paula. A Jay Buner for Ken Phelps level mistake.
Finally they had this big country dude with a cowboy hat whose sad story is that he went to jail when he was fifteen for robbing a bank with a bb-gun. His delivery was poor but if he lasts he could go far because he will get the shit kicker vote. We will see.
All in all it is obvious that they are hiding the best people till later in the show. Because the ones that we have seen so far just don't cut it.
