American Idol 7
Auditions Round 2
Commentary by Janelle - Two Cents Staff Writer
January 16,2008
Hello again AI fans! Tonight we are in Dallas, TX and we start the show off being reminded that this is the home state of AI 1st season winner, Kelly Clarkson. While we see all the pretty Texas flags waving about and different attractions that really only mean something to hometown Texans, we hear the theme from the show “Dallas” playing in the background. How fitting. We are also told that it is very hot in Texas during these auditions AND we have our first AI baby. Yes, a girl went into labor during the auditions, but if you are a tabloid junkie like me, you probably already knew that.
Onto the show… 1st up is a stay-at-home-mom who used to party heavily and became addicted to crystal meth- she is in good company, wasn’t that Fergie’s drug of choice? Anyway, she sings The Pretenders, “I’ll Stand by You.” And what do you know, this girl can sing! My little mini me, my daughter, gives her a 5 out of 5. Our stay-at-home mom rocked it and is our first contestant off to Hollywood for tonight.
Next up is some VERY joyful guy who cuts grass. He is also a member of the American Coaster Enthusiasts club or something like that. We, as the audience, know that he isn’t going to sing well and he does not let us down. He tries to sing Elliott Yamin’s “Wait for You” and as he finishes lets out this big deep breath and I have to say that moment did make me laugh.
We are introduced to Beth who wants to BE Kelly Clarkson. She is a singing waitress and I have to guess this girl will be able to sing given her “day” job. I WAS WRONG! This girl cannot actually make money with her voice, NO WAY! She “sings” “Beautiful Disaster” by Kelly Clarkson and I could not tell what in the world she was saying/singing and neither could Simon. It was horrifying.
Ryan then informs us that the next hour of auditions is “disastrous.”
Our next constant is someone who claims to be a Carrie Underwood look-alike. The girl is pretty, but I don’t see where outside of her blond hair she looks like Carrie, but I won’t hold that against her. She sings “Stronger” by Faith Hill and she is good! She will be moving onto Hollywood.
AI shows clips of different, terrible singers but the one that stands out the most is a duet, Gregory and Mia. They are singing in the same room and singing next to each other, but not singing the same song and I couldn’t really tell if they were even singing English or not. It was at this moment I felt bad for the judges having to have to sit there for this.
We will move onto Bruce and his girlfriend, err, I mean Dad. I say girlfriend because Bruce has a key on his necklace and his Dad has the heart on his own necklace. No, I’m not kidding. Bruce tells us that he has never kissed a girl or gotten “romantic” with a girl and that he is 19 years old. When Bruce does meat his future wife, his dad will give her the heart necklace and Bruce will continue to have the key and well you get the idea, right? Oh and during all of this, AI is playing Richard Marx’s “Right Here Waiting” in the background, perfection AI, perfection! Bruce treats us to “Aint No Sunshine When She’s Gone.” Bruce does not make onto the Hollywood round, but as he leaves he asks for some advice. Randy tells him to kiss a girl and Simon tells him to kiss Ryan.
