WELL, the first round of American Idol 9 is ALMOST over (we are finally just an hour episode away from Hollywood rounds!)
Here is a recap of my favourite contestants from week 3, of the Los Angeles and Dallas Auditions.
From the Los Angeles Auditions (Episode 5, Week 3)
Guest Judge: Avril Lavigne (I 'loved' you but I'm officially a Katy Perry fan as of tonight), Katy Perry (Kara's future replacement/ current frenemy/ well-rounded bitch *with love darlin*)
Mary Powers auditions for American Idol 9 in Los Angeles. She sang “Love Is A Battlefield” by Pat Benatar. Well, theres definately something about Mary, but 1980s just called last night, and they want all of it back. Loved the tone of her vocals, yet personally, I have to agree with Simon when he thought that her performance was cliche. I felt like i was watching an episode of Friends where Joey is playing the role of Dr Drake Ramoray, rock version. Or maybe Mary spent the night before her Idol auditions watching Disney Channel with her daughter, and they were imitating the bad child actors
But yeah, loved her tone.
And her daughter.
And her daughter.
Andrew Garcia auditions on American Idol in Los Angeles singing “Sunday Morning” by Maroon5. FINALLY a contestant that I am extremely estatic over ( I mean other that Charity, my beloved blonde Ugly Betty/ little singing sparrow)
I dunno. Words simply cannot describe his performance.
Lets just watch him and drool together. (again)
Tasha Layton auditions for American Idol 9 in Los Angeles with “Baby Baby Baby” by Joss Stone.
Tasha tasha tasha, our pretty Miss minister. Honestly, she seems like someone i'd like to do a class project with, There's a certain clarity to her voice that I find appealing.
See. God does exist.
From the Dallas Auditions (Episode 6, Week 3)
Guest Judge: Neil Patrick Harris, Joe Jonas (put the three Jonas Brothers together and you have 'noise', so I suppose it makes sense to separate them)
Kimberly Carver auditions for American Idol 9 in Dallas singing an original song. Kimberly needs to stand out more and looking like Kelly Clarkson (again) does not count. We already have Allison Iraheta for that. On the bright side, I loved her finger snapping audition. Simon, what were you thinking.
Kimberly 1: Simon 0, and we're not talking about dress sizes here folks.
Todrick Hall, who has performed with Fantasia Barrino in The Color Purple on Broadway, auditions for American Idol 9 in Dallas, sang an original song which was interestingly catchy. I hope this would be the original-song stand out in Idol Season 9 and not 'Pants on the Ground.
But then again we have William Hung's album release, enough for us to reconsider what is acceptable and what isn't.
Like Heidi Klum once said (and is still saying), one day you're in, and the next day you're out, and she wasn't talking about her giving birth, the octo-mom, or Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
So these are my top favourites for week 3 of the Los Angeles and Dallas auditions. Other contestants that have made it through to Hollywood in these two episodes include Worship Pastor Jim Ranger, Over-pimped/over-adopted Chris Golightly, Dock worker Lloyd Thomas, Barney and Friends dominatrix Erica Rhodes. Maegan Wright, Tourette Syndrome Dave Pittman, and Cancer Survivor Christian Spear.
Do share with me your thoughts and favourites and who you wouldn't mind voting for this season!
