As I sit here on the couch in my living room, I’m watching the corny season 7 recap video. Ryan Seacrest comes on with his “after the break” speech, and the show goes to commercial.
The first contestant is someone named Twan Win (I have no idea how to spell that). He hopes that his idols, Michael Jackson and Britney Spears, will guide him on his path to fame. He hopes that Michael Jackson+tap dancing=the next American Idol, but he gets four “no”s and leaves.
The next contestant gets four yeses and Paula says that she is “top 5″ material. The pattern that I’m seeing is yes, no, yes, no. Most of the contestants that AI is reviewing seem to be either really bad or have a touching story.
I love one part where there is a clip of the artist singing their song, and then a contestant comes in (horribly) singing the rest.
Rumor: AI pays its contestants to be bad on purpose. I didnt believe this rumor, but I’m starting to believe it now. Or maybe the world it just full of horrible terrible singers. I wouldnt know. I dont go around asking people to sing a song in front of live tv.
The next contestant, Auondre, is a mariachi singer with a bright orange shirt. Unfortunaltely, he gets a unanimous no.
The dress code for the auditions, though there is no real dress code, seems to be a bright colored t-shirt over black dress pants.
