Ooh, there are some bad people this year! Yikes! I kind of wish they'd show a few more of the people who made it through, but that'll come in time. I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled for yours truly in a crowd shot when they get to Cleveland. Who knows...

Any idea what night Cleveland airs?

I know this is probably way of topic since the fourth season is just airing. But a girl I went to high school with is auditioning. Her name's Alex Adair. So watch for her next season. I wish her the best of luck. It may make me watch the show if she makes it .

No clue--it should have been the first night, because it was either the first or second audition, but it seems that they're doing them all out of order. Guess it makes for better television or something...

I know tonight is the New Orleans auditions and tomorrow is Las Vegas (the city where I auditioned).

I hate reality television. Hate it with a passion. I watched the very first episode of the very first Survivor...never again. I watched the last few episodes of the first The Mole, because that actually was interesting. I watched the first episode of My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee...wish I hadn't. Watched the a few scattered episodes of My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss...kind of funny. Watched the the first and last two or three shows of Rebel Billionaire...somewhat interesting. I had never watched a moment of American Idol. I refused to give ratings to a show that featured a lot of attention hungry teeny-boppers looking for an easy way into showbiz. Last week, my wife was watching AI and I sat down with her. Surprisingly, I actually kind of liked it. We tuned in again last night. It's actually entertaining. I think I like the bad singers, especially the ones who don't know they're bad because their parents like their singing or whatever. Gene Simmons was a bit of a jerk, saying no to a few talented people. Randy and Paula really saved the day for a couple of people. Tonight's show with a lot of Vegas Elvis freaks should be fun.
I agree with AndyWan Kenobi about showing more good singers. I guess they want to focus on the really good and the really terrible in the beginning for the ratings, and then give viewers a chance to see everyone else once the craziness of auditions subsides.

Okay, so tonight was Cleveland, where I auditioned. Too bad they didn't show a lot of it. The only person I recognized was the girl with the blue hair. She auditioned in the first stadium round at about the same time as I did. The judges there weren't going to put her through to the next round, or they were really on the fence about it, and the people around her were all yelling that they should, so they did. Anyway, I thought that was interesting.

I also liked the blond guy with the glasses (shortly after her) and the girl in Orlando with the mismatched shoes (even though that's totally my gimmick--either she "borrowed" it from me, or she was doing it as a tribute to yours truly).
