Fess up! Who watched it?
I did. I always like the opening rounds.
Contestant: With the grace of God, i tried my best
Simon: God must have taken a day off.
That was one of the harshest things i've heard. That girl really couldn't sing (this was scat girl), but yikes!

I've never really gotten into any of these types of shows, but I did watch last night's show. It was fubby as hell.
I plan on watching tonight's show.  I'm always amazed at how deluded some of these folks are.

I was by a TV last night and watched about 5 minutes of the show and saw that part.  What the heck was she thinking? Shouldn't she have just stayed at home and saved face?

I wanted to watch but missed it. I decided to go to a stretching class instead. I'll watch it tonight as long as it isn't on at the same time as "America's Next Top Model". Love that show!!!!

I was in class so I missed it  . I hate the show once it gets underway, but the initial rounds of horrible wannabe singers is hysterical.
Someone throws a cup of water at Simon? The only thing worse was the guy who got kicked out last year who refused to leave ("no, wait, Paula requested me PERSONALLY for a callback").

You missed the gir who disagreed with Simon, so he made a bet. She would go sing in a bar, and Simon bet that within 5 minutes half the bar would clear out.
It did.

All I saw was the girl with the scooter at the end.  She could sing but she doesn't really seem to have all her marbles.

I was flipping around last night and I saw some of that.
How about the guy from Kosovo? He was so bad...they just burst out laughing. I felt sorry for the guy, he seemed nice, but man he was bad.

You know who i liked? The military girl from the beginning of the episode. She sounded good, she had a fantastic attitude, and i think she sang better and with more personality than most of the other contestants. Yet, they cut her because they didn't think she was right for the show.
Later, they almost didn't pick someone because they said she should be on broadway rather than American Idol.
Didn't they say the same thing about Clay last year and they kept him on forever. Stupid people.
