American Idol Season 7

Day 2 in Miami started off on a nice note and you guessed it, things became tragically worse by the end of the day.

Syesha Mercado is a beautiful, positive young lady whose father has struggled with drugs and alcohol throughout her life.  She is an actress and singer and I think we all better watch out for her because she can really belt it out!  The judges like her and send her right on through.

Things begin heading in the wrong direction when Richard Valles brutally murders Rascall Flatts’s “God Blessed The Broken Road”.  Were you cringing the way I was throughout this performance?  Randy laughed the whole way through and mocked Richard’s completely nasally sound once he finished up.  Sorry Richard, you really suck.

Things continue to get worse when Julie Dubella, the 16 year-old former American Juniors finalist tries her hand at American Idol.  Umm… like.. Julie is another one of those annoying valley girls that like, you just want to smack with like, your hand or something, you know what I mean?  Her voice sounded way better at 12 years old than it does now.  Simon calls her precocious and tells her to get into acting.  She like, just can NOT believe that the judges do not like her voice, OMG!  She tries to argue about her talents but this chick needs a strong dose of reality.

You thought it couldn’t get any worse than that, right?  But you know how this works by now.  It always gets worse.

Introducing….. Brandon Black and his many creepy personalities!  He comes flying through the doors of the audition clad in a white pimp suit, yelling at some weird alter ego or something.  Who really can say?  He pulls off a wig and speaks in strange cartoonish voices then proposes to the judges that he is going to sing Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love To You” first.

First?  You only get one chance buddy and you’re already on everybody’s nerves!  Anyway, to overshadow his terrible singing, Brandon peels off clothes and does a nasty dance during his song.  He moves into his next song, an original entitled, “I Am The Next American Idol”.  The judges tell him he sucks - BADLY - but Brandon is oblivious asking if he can finish his performance first.  Randy and Simon get the right idea and walk right out of the room.

Next week’s Idol auditions are coming straight from Atlanta, Georgia.  Maybe there will be some real talent there?  Stay tuned to this blog to find out!

The Miami Vice edition of the American Idol auditions kicked off tonight with 10,000 hopefuls and… get this… Paula in what Simon calls, a “very slutty” dress.

Shannon spends her days working in her parent’s meat market.  She’s got a funky 80s style and is a champion at burping, but can she sing?  Well, not really.  She attempts Janis Joplin’s “Cry Baby” but it sounds like a bunch of loud animals garbling on through the night.  Nobody could understand a single word she sang and the judges have to pass.

Former boybander, Robbie Carrico came to American Idol to show off his rock sensibility.  He’s got a nice tone to his voice and gives a pretty good performance.  He makes it through to Hollywood and is pelted with firecrackers and fiesta string on his way out of the audition.

Ghaleb is a guitar playing, harmonica blowin’, piano-man who describes his music as a gypsy style.  Well he doesn’t exactly wow everybody.  Simon says he would like him if he was drunk, does that count?  He gets the green light to Hollywood but my gut says he isn’t really going to make it too far.  Especially since he kissed the entire Idol staff on his way out the door… just a little bit weird, dontcha think?

Watch out ladies and gentleman because here comes Corliss Smith and Brittany Wescot.  These two heavyset lovable gals are looking for some real men.  First, Corliss sings to Randy and then Brittany sings to Simon.  The judges just loved these girls and so did I.  Hey, did anybody else catch Randy’s ruby red slippers from underneath the desk?  Anyhow…

Suzanne Toon is a young, single momma with a smokey, sexy voice that lands her a first class ticket to Hollywood.

Ending Day 1 was Ramiele Malubay, the 19 year-old teeny Asian girl with the great big pipes.  Her version of Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman” was a little bit on the loud side but good enough to make it through to Hollywood.

Find out what you missed in Miami on Day 2 coming up shortly!

Now when it comes to freaks, Sarah is up there with the best of them.

You see, Sarah is 25, and from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Now that’s nothing to hold against her.

But she is a freak. Well, actually she’s a freakin’ freak. (Ok. Sarah if you are reading this, I’m only joking! )

You see, Sarah used to be a professional goth wrestler. And One of our spies says she used to wrestle under the name… wait for it…

… Lady Morgue or something.

Anyway, the reason I want you to watch this is because she kinds of scares me. First. Because she’s 10 times bigger than Ryan. Now that doesn’t mean much. But when you hear her laugh, you’ll know why she freaks me out more.

As you probably know, she didn’t get through. And if you watch Randy’s face, I think he looks a bit intimidated.

Anyway, if you wanna watch the full episode, you can check it out here.

As you know, there were crop circles at the start of American Idol tonight.

… Ok. Maybe not crop circles. But the American Idol logo in a field in Omaha, Nebraska.

Now if you missed it, here’s your chance to have a look at it. You see, the same guys who made it, have also recorded how they went about it.

Anyway, it’s like a behind the scense sort of thing.

Pretty cool. But I think they did it to promote themselves or something.

Anyway, have a look what I mean.

The second half of the Omaha auditions began with a lot of commotion between the judges and everybody’s favorite host, Ryan Seacrest.  The judges decide to have Ryan and Paula swap places to prove that selecting contestants is indeed a tough job.

Poor Samantha Sidley … she had the unlucky job of auditioning during this fiasco.  Without too much ambition or confidence in herself, the 22 year-old sings Norah Jones’s hit, “Don’t Know Why”.  Her voice is smooth and sexy but she gives a brutally boring performance.  Ryan judges first by telling her he likes her voice but she needs to work on her moves.  Paula comes back to reclaim her seat as the judges mock Ryan’s ability to effectively judge the contestant.  I thought Ryan did just fine, but what do I know? Samantha still pulls it off and heads to Hollywood with four yesses.

Then there was the emotional Angelica Puente, the 17 year-old girl with some serious daddy drama.  She tells us she does not get along with her dad so she had to move out and live with her grandma.  Well, Angelica does have a pretty great voice but she mimics Celine Dion so much that the judges tell her she needs to work on defining who she is as a singer.  Angelica still manages to sneak on through and Ryan calls her father up after the audition to see if he is proud of his little girl.  The phone call goes over well and Angelica finally makes her father proud.

David Cook is a 24 year-old bartender and musician who looks up to Chris Daughtry’s successful American Idol audition for good measure.  He is a real nice guy with a rocker edge, his hair is black and red and spiked down the middle.  David’s “Livin’ On A Prayer” by Bon Jovi is great but unbelievably slowed down.  Randy tells him to move around and actually perform.  David makes it through to Hollywood with 3 nods from the judges.

Johnny E. is an 18 year-old who compares himself to James Brown.  Sound like a disaster to you?  He comes in wearing a gold sequined jacket and has some greasy, overgrown bangs on his head.  He is geeky with a terrible voice and bad dance moves to boot.  To put it plainly, Simon calls him everything that he hates.

Last up was Leo Marlowe - catchy name, huh?  He is an offbeat and open kinda guy with a real nice voice.  The judges think he is genuinely good and send him off to the next round.

Omaha produced only 19 finalists total but there is always tomorrow in Miami, Florida to grab some more Idol talent.

Tonight American Idol headed to Omaha, Nebraska where there was clearly an abundance of cornfields as well as Idol hopefuls.

Chris “gonna explode and happiness is gonna go flying everywhere” Bernheisel was first up to audition tonight in front of Randy and Simon. Paula’s plane was delayed so she wasn’t around to receive her portion of the gifts that Chris brought for the judges. Well despite his sweet talk and bribes, Chris’s version of “Since You’ve Been Gone” came out on the incredibly nasally side of things. His choreographed “pee-pee dance” and handstand during the performance didn’t really help either. But since he’s such a nice guy, Simon tells Chris that he will be able to report the Idol finale to his local Fox station. Look out Omaha!

Ahh. I guess you just gotta watch it.

Twenty-one year old, Jason Rich made it to Hollywood after a rocky audition. He starts and stops, forgetting the lyrics until he finally bursts out into “When You Say Nothing At All”, singing it loud and proud. He makes it to Hollywood but needs some serious work on his nerves.

Paula finally makes it to the auditions just in time for Rachael Wicker, the 6-time arm wrestling champion to give it a go. She makes it through despite Randy’s comments about her half-yodeling the lyrics to “Don’t Tell Me To Stop Loving You”.

Ready for things to get weird?

Sarah Whitaker is sure to become a famous face after tonight. The former professional wrestler is a bulky goth chick who still goes by her old moniker, Lady Morgue. Outside of the audition room, the freakishly scary Sarah fought with Ryan and bellowed her trademark evil laugh. Then it was her turn to audition… cue the dark music… er…

Wait? She’s singing about being happy?! Lady Morgue really knew how to pick the worst song for her image! Her high-pitched wails about jolly-ness coupled with her white face paint and long, black shiny jacket were enough for Simon to dismiss her as very, very strange.

As you know, there are some good things which come out of Australia.

… Like Fosters.

… Kangaroos.

… And now Michael Johns.

You see, Micheal Johns auditioned for American Idol and he did alright.

Now, his style of music maybe a little different for a guy from Oz. And the reason I say it, is because Johns is a white singing “soul” guy.

As you will find out, I don’t think he’s a one trick pony.

As you probably know, American Idol 7 was gonna delve into the more personal side of the contestants. And see how they tick and what really inspired them to go for the auditions.Anyway, here’s one of those feel good stories. You see, London Weidberg, gave up her musical dream when her father became ill and died from cancer, like three years ago.Now, most people would give up their dreams and take the easy way out.

But not Weidberg.

You see, she has gone out and tried to forge a way back into something she loves. As you will see, her commitment to pursue her dreams is something which the producers would love to show.

And for us it’s absolutely inspiring. Now youmay be wondering whether she got a “yes” on her singing ability or on her story. Well, when you watch this video, you decide.

But I think she got in with her absolute talent.

Great work London! Anyway, she sings the song “Good Morning Heartache” by Billie Holliday.

Ahhh. This guy can SING!

… NOT!!

You see, Joshua Boson, rolled up for the South Carolina auditions. And I guess he thought he could sing or something. You see, no offence to Josh, but this has got to be the worst performance of the night.

But it all goes down hill when he tells the judges they are hopeless.

I mean seriously. When you blame others for your lack of voice, it turns ugly fast!

Anway, the judges suck sometimes, but do they really get ths one wrong? Do you think the judges really suck?

Hmmm, Josh. I think YOU suck!

Anyway, if you wanna watch more American Idol 7 auditions, even those that sucked, you can find them all here.
