Dang, why couldn't I have a dad that was in and out of prison. No, my dad had to be semi-normal and kept me from being a Star. :)

[silent_jonny]

They showed a preview of a "rocker". He's a bald white guy with a beard, but wow he can sing!

[RMDupree]

*snort*

Sure did. I'm waiting for the Clay Aiken wannabe.

[mathluv]

Could you please add me to your ping list? This is my very first time to even watch AI.

*Idol ping*

[Petronski]

Damn! That King sure had some great moments with the 49ers: Nobody could move the ball like that!

[silent_jonny]

"I'm a thrillaaaaaaaaaah!" :)

[RMDupree]

You're in for a treat! Welcome!

[RMDupree]

Huh?

[StrictTime]

I'm impressed so far. Looks like a lot of young people who have been waiting for 4 years to be old enough to audition. Woo Hoo!

[Wolfstar]

The blonde girl that you've seen in the commercials sings "Since U Been Gone", wows the judges, and she has the all-important backstory (her dad has been in and out of prison)

Uh oh. The folks over on Kelly's board were saying her management didn't want to release the songs for use on AI. Seems Nigel Lythgoe is not a happy camper. From Reality TV mag:

Apparently the bickering isn’t limited to just the contestants, because Lythgoe also hinted at some conflict between the judges. Lythgoe said “At one point Simon storms out of the room and just can’t take Randy and Paula anymore, and leaves the audition.” In this season of conflict, there also appears to be some potential problems with past contestants. In regards to Kelly Clarkson, Lythgoe said “it appears that Kelly isn’t clearing some of her music for American Idol which is very strange.” Lythgoe went on to add that he wasn’t sure if Kelly was aware of this and that he felt things would be worked out.

Double uh oh. If she's pretty, Simon will surely tell this one she will outsell all the other idols combined.

I know--why am I so normal???

[Petronski]

The Burger King commercial.


Nevermind....I'm used to football threads. ;O)

[Wolfstar]

"Shut-up!" "You shut-up!" "Both of you shut-up!"

LOL! From various entertainment reporters, it's even worse (better?) this year.

[Dane]

Another spectacular thread on your part, SJ, and a very moving tribute to Texasflower.

Not a big fam of AI, but I do like to see the bad singers.

[mathluv]

Thanks! I love live threads, and after getting hooked on '24' this week, I decided to try this one, too.

[silent_jonny]

Welcome aboard :)

[RMDupree]

Oh! HAHAHAHAHA!!
