American Idol 7
Omaha, NB Auditions (Round 5) Commentary by Janelle
January 29,2008
Hello again AI fans! Tonight we get to visit Omaha, NB. This is our 1st time here in all of the AI seasons and there are 10,000 hopefuls.
I feel the need to put a disclaimer on tonight’s commentary. I am recuperating from the flu and the doctor gave me some sweet cough syrup and by “sweet” I think it makes me a little high. So, if parts of tonight’s commentary do not make sense to you just imagine that to me, it’s probably the funniest thing I have ever written. Ok, let’s move on…
We start the night being told that for the time being we just have Simon and Randy as our judges because Paula’s plane has been delayed. Now, unless you have lived under a rock you surely have heard about the Bravo’s Show, “Hey Paula” We now know that Paula doesn’t do “delays” well or anything where she is told “No.” Paula likes her meltdowns that is for sure! So I imagine that she is in some airport right now crying and carrying on like my 4 year old does when she doesn’t get her way. Meanwhile, Randy and Simon seem to be doing fine without her.
Our 1st contestant is going to explode and happiness is going to go everywhere! He brought gifts for all the judges. Randy gets a really fluffy white dog. Simon gets a sweatshirt. And Paula isn’t there so she doesn’t get her gift. (I am sure she will have yet another meltdown later because of it.) Our contestant also brings his photo album full of pictures of him and Kelly Clarkson. Simon puts the photo album up in Paula’s place. Our contestant goes on to sing…. You guessed it, Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You’ve Been Gone” He does not do the song justice. BUT he also asks to audition to be in the AI red carpet. Simon likes him and tells him to get with his local fox affiliate and he will work the red carpet for the season finale this makes our 1st contestant just as happy as if he was on his way to Hollywood.
Jason is up next and sings “When You Say Nothing At All” by Keith Whitley. He can’t seem to remember the words but the part that he does keep singing over and over, he sings well and I think if he can pull it out he might have a shot. Well, with Simon’s help – giving Jason the words, Jason does remember more of the song and moves on to the next round. However, Simon says that he will never do that for him again, help out like that. I hope Jason doesn’t get that kind of stage fright on an actual stage…we will see.
Woo Hoo! Paula finally shows up and you can kind of tell that she isn’t her usual happy self. I would love to see the behind scene footage of those meltdowns (meltdowns with an s because you know that there were more than one!)
