Haha, so the husband (of Kara) decided it was best to show up this time. LOL. Bet he’ll be there every night from now on.

First girl eliminated: Janell. Whaaaaaatever.

Woohoo, Allison’s back, with really long hair! Great song!

Second girl eliminated: Ashley. Whaaaaaatever. [;) lol]

LMAO at Tim’s reaction to being safe.

First guy eliminated: Joe. Yeah, he really didn’t connect like Ellen said that she thought he did.

Is it me, or is Ryan saying “Haiti” in a very odd way.

This is the first time ever I’ve seen Ryan reading from a card. WTF?!

Very nice performance from Kris Allen. Just beautiful.

Second guy eliminated: Tyler. I’m actually glad he’s out. Didn’t like him at all. And seriously; Blaming the judges is not going to get you more fans. Quite the opposite.

Ryan: …and Simon “missing a button” Cowell.

Naaw.

Ryan[to Kara]: I mean, you’ve been up here before on the stage in a bikini…
Ryan’s begin funny today, I love it.

“Little House on the Prairie”, “Think of Laura Ingalls”? ROTFLMAO!

OMG, Kara. Move the f*ck over! Geez.

Interesting performance by Todrick. Eh, not sure what to think of it ATM. It sure as h*ll wasn’t “Since you’ve been gone”. Same words, but seriously, he kept NOTHING but that.

Well, at least he’s doing the same to her. Though, everyone wants to see more of Simon, no one wants more of Kara. lol.

Aaron: This is probably the first time EVER I’ve felt that a 16-year old isn’t ready. He very good now, but I believe he’d be amazing in a couple of years.

I completely agree with the judges about Jermaine trying to hard.

Tim, eh yeah, no, no no no. Sorry.

I wonder what Simon said to Ryan as they came back from the break. Obviously something really funny.

Joe was another “whatever” performance for me. Ellen like the stage-presence, but I got nothing from him. Good singer, though.

I agree completely with the judges about Tyler. Eh, not much more to say about that.

Ooo, love the song that Lee’s singing. I like Lee, he wasn’t awesome this week, but good. Very good.

I was disappointed with John. Wasn’t good at all. Like Simon said; “pointless”.

Michael is definitely not the best singer, but I really like him.

Ryan: Who are you always winking at? Who’s over there?
Simon: My girlfriend.
Me: Eeeewwwww, STFU! Not now, not right after the engagement rumors started again.

A Lambert. No, not Adam, Alex. lol. Oh geez, he doesn’t stand a chance with that name. He’s not even close to Adam (talent wise), so… yeah…

Casey was good. The whole Kara thing is a bit crazy though.
Kara: Casey, I don’t recognize you with your shirt on… [blah blah blah] …I’m married, honey I love you.
LOL.

I love Andrew. I think he’s great. – “The Paula song” – Wait a minute! What happened to Pawler! It’s Pawler Simon, geez!
Hehe, Simon said “Straight Up”. lmao.

Seriously, they put Ellen next to Randy? WHY? Her and Simon were funny next to each other. Why change it? I mean, come on, the Simon and Kara thing is just NOT going to work. Geez FOX.

Simon: I watched a little bit of the rehearsals, some were good some not.
Ryan: And so it begins.

Oh, yay, they’re gonna bring up the fact that Ellen’s in the “wrong” chair.
Ellen: Yeah, yeah eh, we had a little problem and I just, I felt like it’s safer over here and I think, well the problem is, Simon wants me and he… he’s got like a thing for me and I get it Simon, I get it but it’s not gonna happen, and I… he, he just keeps, his hands are like wandering hands and I, I actually, you know what, and I hate to do this to you Simon, but no one is gonna believe me unless I have tape to prove it, so eh, just to protect myself in case there is a suite of some sort, can we just show the tape?




ROTFLMAO
So OK, yeah that was hilarious, but I still want to know the REAL reason. *rolling eyes*

First contestant out; Paige. I actually didn’t like her too much, yeah she can sing but I’m “just not feeling it”. lol.

[silence]
Randy: Simon…?
Simon: Oh, is it me? Am I going first? OK, I didn’t know, eh but here we go, live TV!

WAIT? First performance, and Simon says she has the best voice of all the girls? LOL.

OMG, the producers have SO told Kara to try to turn into Paula. Geez! WTF is going on here? Are they trying to make the show even worse then it’s already become?!

FYI(and sorry for screaming this but..); YOU CAN’T FAKE CHEMISTRY LIKE THE ONE BETWEEN SIMON AND PAULA! WTF?!

Ashley: Eh, whatever. I wasn’t really paying attention, so yeah, nothing special.

I liked Janell in Hollywood and this performance was actually OK. Best so far IMO.

Lilly is gonna have to watch out with song choice. She could easily trn into Megan. :-/ I really hope that doesn’t happen, ’cause she’s so much better.

Kara and Simon are not paying any attention to Ryan at all.
Randy: There’s a TV-show Kara going on here.
Kara: Oh, I’m sss…
Ryan: No worries, just talking about you.
Kara: Were you talking to me?
Simon: About you.
Kara: About me, oh OK. I was talking to Simon. He was touching my knee actually.
LMAO.

Lilly’s tall… I mean, Ryan’s short. lol.

Katelyn was another “whatever” performance for me. LOL at Simon’s comments.

LMAO. Kara said “bitch” on live TV. Oooo, someone’s gonna get fired. Well, probably not but I can dream right? lol.

I disagree with the judges about Haeley. She wasn’t as good as I was expecting or hoping she would be, but she was still much better than most other girls. She’s definitely the one with the most interesting voice still.

Aw, more Paula flashbacks. <3

There’s something I like about Lacey, even though I wasn’t that fond of her performance this week. Hm.

IMO, completely failed intro by Michelle. There’s definitely a voice there, but it’s not that uniqe, so I was actually a bit bored.

I like having Ellen on the panel. She really does give more of a “viewers” point of view. Still, they miss a heart… Like Simon said, Paula was the heart of the show, so it’s a completely different show now.

Didi was really good, but she’s also in risk of becoming “Megan”. She’ll have to be really careful too. If she keeps growing through the competition she could be great.
I do agree with Simon about a lot of people trying to sound the same, and that’s exactly what Megan did (which really failed, really fast).
“No umphf” – LOL Randy.

Siobhan was awesome. Really refreshing to hear after the nights previous performances.

Simon loves her little baby? Normally I’d find that cute, but ATM with all the M stuff, I’d have preferred not to hear that.

I think Crystal is really, really great. I do agree with the subway-station thing, but I just really like her so I don’t care. She’s unique to the show at least.

I completely disagree with the judges about Katie. I think she chose a good song and sang it well!

I’m glad they’re back to the “top 12 girls” and “top 12 boys” system. Last year was so annoying (the group system).

Wow, still 71 contestants left, so we’ll see a lot of disappointment in this episode. Draaama! Ehm, is one of the seriously named Alex Lambert? LOL. If he make it he’s just going to be compared to Adam.

OMG! Diva is definitely the right word!

Oh, Alex Lambert is a wannabe Jason Mraxe. lol. He did a pretty good job though.

I actually liked most of what we got to see from the people in the first room presented.

Did anyone else get chills (first time this season, good job!) when Charity started singing? Wow.

I like Mary’s style and voice, but I hate her personality. Way too cocky. Yuck. It’s kind of interesting that she actually looks like she’s 10 years older than everyone else.

Very good performances from a lot of people in the second room presented, as well. This could be one great year, talent wise.

That’s new…. lol!

Haeley reminds me so much of Paris Bennett (the voice)!

Room two is out. I’m not too disappointed. The judges usually know what they’re doing… well, Simon anyway.
I love how he was smiling as he entered the room, and then get smiling the whole time he was in there. Hes like “yaaaay, I’m gonna get to deliver the bad news! Best day EVER!” LOL.

Love Simon’s and Randy’s posing here:

I’m glad the Asian and Jessica are still in.

Awww, H&H (Hollywood & Highland). Damn, I miss LA!

He’s crushing Simon. LOL.

Kara’s flying. Weeeeeeii. LOL.

lamo @ Ellen talking about not dragging it out any longer and then going on and on and on…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaw, more Hollywood.

lol @ the Kara/Casey thing.
Ellen[whispering to Kara about Casey]: He has his hair down for you.
Kara: Nice, nice!

Isn’t Kara married? lol. What’s with the leg/foot?

ROTFLMFAO! Randy saw it too. I paused and made the screen before I saw that. That’s hilarious!

What the hell happened to Jessica?! She’s like the new Tatiana. WTF? After that I’m glad she didn’t go through.

Janell: If I was bikini-girl I’d kiss you right now.
LOL. You could tell how badly Ryan wanted to say “well, it’s OK, you can kiss me anyway”.

I saw s.8 Paula!

Nice of Simon to ask about Katie’s grandmother. Hope she’s doing okay.

Kara was actually unbelievably sweet with Angela. It almost sounded like she got some tips from Paula, lol.

Siobhan? I’m never going to learn how to spell that. (Yes, I cheated this time, and I’ll keep doing it! lol)

So, are they gonna stop crying anytime soon? lol.

I’m glad Haley is in. Like Simon said, she can probably be a bit annoying at times, but she’s interesting.

Oh no! I like both Thaddeus and Andrew. Why does this always happen? Geez! Andrew’s version of Straight Up made me LOVE him, so I’m hoping he’ll be the one making it to the live shows, on the other hand, Thaddeus is awesome, too. This sucks!
Aww, poor Thaddeus. I actually think he should have made it. He’s got great personality and a great voice. YAAAAAAY for Andrew though.

Why is there always a baby being born during the auditions or Hollywood rounds? Seriously, at least one every year!

Ryan: …after the break.
Oh geez, here we go. Now Idol’s really started. How many times do you think Ryan will have to say that this year? lol.

Wait, Jason Castro’s brother tried out (and failed) again? Hm, interesting. He seemed to have a little more personality this year though.

WTF, everyone’s going through. lol. How are they supposed to cut down on the amount of contestants if this keeps up? (Yeah right it will… )
Simon: You’re all in the same boat… but it’s a good boat to be in.

…and here comes the begging and the crying. Geez. Maybe if you’d have stayed up and practiced, and remembered your words, you would have had a chance. Seriously dude.

Note: Sorry about the late and short post, have to much stuff going on + There wasn’t too much to say about this episode.

What’s with Miss Cranky to the right of Ryan? (The girl next to the bug dude.)

Aw, cute! Rallen? Rellen? Eyan? Ehhh… Help me out here. lol.

Ellen[to Ryan after a long question he just asked her]: I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.
lol. Yeah, Ellen is definitely going to bring some humor back to the show. She’s not replacing Paula, Kara is, but it’s still going to be weird having her next to Simon, and having her telling him he’s being a jerk (in her way..), instead of Paula.

Ellen: So this is it, huh? I come on, you leave.
Simon: LOL!
lmao! So true. Though, it’s more like: Paula leaves, you leave.

This is going to be a problem. Ellen makes so many jokes in one comment that I’m never going to be able to write it all down. lol. The skii-bo-ski, or whatever his name is, comments were hilarious.

Ryan: …plus, some of the most amazing performances in Hollywood Week history.
I doubt anything can beat Michael John’s version of Bohemian Rhapsody. <3

OMG! Ellen is as brutally honest as Simon. Well, at least Simon’s having fun again. LOL.

OMFG! He’s going to sing Straight Up y’all! Paula will NEVER really leave this show. <3
OK, so Simon stopped him. I’m not expecting to hear anything bad though. He did a great version of it.

Kara: Paula would be screaming and yelling and clapping and dancing.
Does anyone else miss her “TUTCHDOWN”’s from the earlier seasons? Ellen’s version of a Paula-clap reminded me of them.

BTW, what the h*** happened to the Coke glasses? WTF?

Wow, loosing a lot of the people we actually got introduced to during the auditions. Weird.

Oh, Miss Cranky was the girl with the daughter that Simon liked. That was a cute moment. Very nice voice, but I don’t get why she (the mom/contestant) has to look so cranky.

What the h*** was Ellen doing to those poor contestants? LMAO. “You step back, you step forward, no I’m sorry you step back, you step back, you step forward, you step back, you step forward, you step a little to your left, you step forward then step back a little bit, you’re all going through”. Simon was cracking up, Kara and Randy look confused and “serious”. lol.

Love how they’re sneaking in clips of Ford’s new cars every now and then.

This Justin-dude probably has a great recording-voice. I have to say I was surprised he didn’t make it.

I love how surprised Kara was that Simon actually liked the song. After her complete FAIL with last year’s winners song (that we all know Simon did NOT like), I’m not that surprised by her reaction.

“Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a fool with your pants on the ground”. lol.

Hey, I remember this girl. She was good last time she auditioned too.

Simon[after contestant sings "Footprints in the Sand]: Beautiful song.
lol!

There was a girl that said this was her 7th time auditioning. See, I’d say “GIVE UP FFS!”. Come on! If you haven’t made it after trying out for American Idol seven times, you’re not going to! Geez.

Wow, This girl is a theater student and she’s THAT disconnected?! Geez. Her grads can’t be that good.

LMAO @ Simon doing the acting things.

Eh, wrong show lady! lol.

When Simon came out and said the guy didn’t make it, and then the guy came out with a golden ticket, Ryan looked more confused then I’ve ever seen him. LOL.

OMG! Simon didn’t even remember Rose? Dude’s going senile! lol.

OMG! Barbie’s back! OMG! Talk about a makeover. (The only reason I remember her is because I re-watch that exact audition episode yesterday! lol.)


I’m guessing that girl didn’t make it, ’cause she couldn’t sing at all last time. Completely tone def.

Paula!

Oh god, here comes 7th-girl. Geez.

Aaaand, like I said. She can’t sing. She’s so naive! Geez.

Neil Patrick Harris!
What’s with him and Kara? They look really pleased while Simon and Randy look extremely bored!

Oh Randy. lol.

I hate when it’s just Simon, Kara and Randy. I’m like, Why is Kara in Paula’s se4at. Move over b***h!

This screen was just too funny to exclude.
