An Aeroplane to Hollywood

So it looks like we are in for a long few weeks as we suffer through the audition rounds…another night of people seeking their 15 seconds of fame with a few quality singers mixed in. Tonight Idol even got thisclose to jumping the shark with dramatizations of country bumbkin Jesse Hamilton almost biting the dust twice in his life. Idol is supposed to be a singing competition, correct?

We were lucky enough to at least have a guest judge (Mary J Blige) tonight that actually has talent and at least a valuable comment or two. Sh-t, the only reason most people like looking at Posh Spice is because David Beckham is generally on her arm. Posh can feel free to stay overseas as America has enough no-talent anorexic “celebrities” (like the cast of The Hills) to follow stateside.

As for Fox’s take on the word ‘hilarious’, since when was a girl dressed up as a guitar hilarious? Perhaps this girl would be considered hilarious on NBC which hasn’t produced a hit sitcom in many years. Heck, they find Jay Leno funny so perhaps this girl might get to take over the Tonight Show! Well at least for seven months until Jay decides he wants that show too.

Guitar girl along with a few others like Vanessa Wolfe, Holly Harden, and Mallorie Haley made it look as if Idol is desperate to find the next Carrie Underwood.

Country girl Vanessa Wolfe is gonna get herself on an aeroplane to Hollywood. Looks like if she doesn’t proceed past the Hollywood rounds that she and her family can at least star in a real life Beverly Hillbillies.

The only talent that I saw tonight belonged to Jermaine Sellers who brought a nice R&B/soul sound to the contest that hasn’t been seen in a male singer in years.

Most satisfying part of the night belonged to Carmen Turner going onto Hollywood while her BFF Lauren Sanders was sent home. Looks like Lauren really should have sung “Jizz in My Pants”.

BTW, does every contestant have an ailment in their family this year? Alzheimer’s, cancer….I can’t figure out if I am watching “American Idol” or “Brian’s Song”.

And as for Paula? Apparently, like me, America doesn’t miss her too much as 30 million people turned in for the season premiere last night. Great career move…then again I haven’t been this excited about someone quitting since Sarah Palin left her Governer position in Alaska.
