I have to say I liked the show more than I thought I would. Tyler grew on me after I got over the initial weirdness of him.....everytime I look at him, I see an old Jack Sparrow, sans pirate hat. LOL

Yes, I thought the same thing at times. While Jack Sparrow was based on Keith richards a bit, per Depp, I couldn't help but wonder if Tyler listened to a lot of Little Richard in his youth. I did pick up on some Sparrow too.

[Netizen]

You should. I only watched the auditions last year and even then only until Degenerate joined. Tyler is pretty comical to listen to and to watch.

It's really a normal-sized M&M. It just looks big compared to Archuletta. ;-)

LMAO!

[retrokitten]

I agree. I was really prepared to dislike them, too, but they were all okay. But I was a little skeeved out at Steven Tyler leering at all the sleezier girls.

I see some of us are waiting with baited breath, the arrival of our Thread Master, and another evening of amusing quips and uproarious laughter......
Let the games BEGIN!!!!!!!!! :-)

Hi retro -

I really* liked hearing Melina’s (?) story about leaving Kosovo, and her parents are both so sweet and grateful to be Americans. Bless ‘em.

@Tigerized, this is the place to be during AI auditions!

Hi, Ken. I watched last night but not near by PC. I can’t believe people are bashing it. They must not like the music biz. AI imo is a reality show about the music biz. If they don’t get that, oh well.

they invited Vera Wang

She's almost as thin as the wikileaks guy :)

[silent_jonny]

I nominate Jerky Panda as our new thread mascot!

I second that :)

[silent_jonny]

I never heard of jerky panda. But, i see he’s a real prick.

LOL!

[silent_jonny]

Greetings, Tara :)

1. Media reports that Cowell TURNED DOWN $ 150 million to resign with AI. I would have done it for a mere $50 mill, retrokitten probably $75k

What the???

[silent_jonny]

Describes a Female Panda who does not want to give birth exactly when the Channel 4 News Team needs it too.

Wasn't that a sub-plot in Anchorman?

[MagUSNRET]

Howdy Doody Thread Master :-) Thanks again for all of your efforts....it is appreciated more than you know! (the endorphin rush from laughing so hard on this show,”heals” a week of otherwise bad juju :-)

[retrokitten]

Hey there!

I really* liked hearing Melina’s (?) story about leaving Kosovo, and her parents are both so sweet and grateful to be Americans. Bless ‘em.

Me too. It maybe made me a little teary.

Aerosmith isn’t going to be the same without him as lead singer.

They're still together. They finished a tour last year and are working on new material, according to wikipedia.

Helllloooo Jonny! LOL! I love badpanda as a keyword...hahaha!

[retrokitten]

Wasn't that a sub-plot in Anchorman?

Yes. LOL

Ron Burgundy: Let's go to Brian Fantana who's live on the scene with a Channel 4 News exclusive. Brian?
Brian Fantana: Panda Watch. The mood is tense; I have been on some serious, serious reports but nothing quite like this. I uh... Ching... King is inside right now. I tried to get an interview with him, but they said no, you can't do that he's a live bear, he will literally rip your face off. [to the Panda]
Brian Fantana: Hey, you're making me look stupid. Get out here, Panda Jerk!
Ron Burgundy: Great story. Compelling, and rich.
