That's what happened to the Mississippi gal who sang about the gay boyfriend--she remembered all her words, her song was funny, they told her it could be a country hit, then BAM! they cut her.
My favorites are Fantasia ("my lips are big, but my talent is bigger"--I was bummed when they cut her off before the high note in "Think"; she was singing it a bit higher than the original and if she pulled it off that would be really something) and the Rose Bowl guy who came out of his first audition singing opera.
We're also following with amusement John Peter, the "pen salesman." Best we can figure, he's a recently returned Mormon missionary who goes to BYU-Hawaii, and came to his first audition straight from church (when he came out, he was holding his yellow slip in one hand and his scriptures in the other).
Scooter Girl is very funny, but what I've heard of her voice so far is really more Broadway than pop.
The model girl has really egregious too-far-apart fake boobs, is not a great singer and has way too cavalier an attitude to last much longer in the competition.
There are a bunch of really anomalous people, and I'm hoping they show more of them: baby dyke Brianna Garcia, the little girl, red-headed kid crooner. I don't hold out much hope of any of them lasting in the competition, but it's nice to see something different.
On a different reality TV note, did anyone watch Average Joe Monday? I was really feeling Brian Worth, looking straight into her eyes (when he's not squinting in the bright Big Island sun, they're really nice) and baring his soul. The other guys really did feel fake in comparison.
Did anyone catch RW/RR--The Inferno? My tape cut off just as they were going into the Inferno--did they show it? Or just tease for next week? I was pretty impressed with Timmy making it just using his hands. Julie really bugged me, and I'm trying to figure out why. I think it's that, when she was on RW-NO, she was just herself, a nice, happy girl. Now that she's trying to get all into the cutthroat competition, it just doesn't sit right on her. She's trying too hard and comes across as a freak.
But anyway.
