After the dreadfull 2 hours of awful auditions last night, American Idol returned tonight looking for hopefull singers in San Fran. I am so happy tonight is only 1 hour. I can’t deal with another 2 hour episode of people who think they can sing.

Another short review tonight. Once we get to the Top 24 I will review each individual contestant

I was shocked that the judges didn’t put Heidi through. I hated her first song with a passion but loved the second song. I really don’t think she yelled it like Randy and Paula mentioned. Paula said yes but Simon and Randy said no. C’mon guys Heidi was a lot better than most of the people put through last night. Anyone else agree? I guess it doesn’t matter though she was sent home without her Golden Ticket.

Jose (Sway) was decent. My wife loved him. She mentioned she just found her favorite. I wouldn’t call him my favorite but he was pretty good. Definate Hollywood material this season. He was sent through with flying colors which put a smile on my wifes face.

I don’t understand how Matthew thinks he sounds like Clay. Maybe Clay when he first wakes up or is sick but no where near the Clay that we remember. Thank god Simon didn’t put him through. That would have been quite an insult to Clay. By the way Ryan, how are we supposed to vote on whether Matthew was better than Clay. Matthew was sent packing. Maybe I am just confused.

Katharine wasn’t that bad. I have seen better singers this season but she deserves a shot at Hollywood. God knows she is a hell of a lot better than some of the people Simon has liked. I will say I agree with Simon. Some parts of the song were fantastic but I have to disagree with Randy. That wasn’t the best female voice we have seen this season. Lisa blows her away.

Shalicia should have thought twice before she quit her job to come on American Idol. Actually after that audition you probably would have been fired if you hadn’t already quit. Pack your bags and go home. You suck and you destroyed the Pussycat Dolls. 3 no’s, thank god. At least Simon got Shalicia’s job back for her.

Yet another 16 year old that can sort of sing. Shawna was awful on her first song but when she delivered a little Alicia Keys, she blew me away. I really thought I was listening to Alicia. Thank you Paula and Randy for putting Shawna through. Yes Randy, Simon is a little crazy today. Like I have said in the past, anyone who can sing Alicia Keys is awesome in my book.

Jane is the hot little Asian girl that Travis over at Watch Idol was asking me about in an Email. Damn girl, loved the voice. Simon is smoking crack yet again. I am shocked too Randy. Simon is being Scrooge today. Hopefully she shows Simon up in Hollywood. Keep you eye out for Jane. I really think she is Top 24 for sure.

I was so excited when I thought we might have a female rocker going to Hollywood but when I heard Deborah sing, I wanted to puke. Awful, completely awful. This is one time that I am thankful Simon said no. I can’t imagine having to listen to Deborah sing again. Maybe if I closed my eyes like Simon suggested. By the way Randy and Paula, way to piss off Simon. I don’t think he has ever totally left the auditions like he did after Deborah. Maybe he went back to the hotel to get laid.

That wraps up another week of American Idol auditions. A few decent singers were found but we weren’t privy to a lot of the contestants that were put through and that bothers me. I think we should see everyone that was put through to Hollywood. I still find it unfair how certain contestants get more airtime than others but that has always been the case and always will be. Anyways, what did you guys and gals think tonight? Was there anyone that shined or have you already found your favorite in a previous audition episode? Leave a comment with your thoughts and tune in again next week as we contine our search for the next American Idol.

Episode 4 will not be posted till later on tomorrow afternoon. I have a lot of work to do in the morning and won’t be at my office till the afternoon. There is a chance I will post the episode first thing in the morning but please don’t count on it. Usually I hit the snooze button to many times and am always late for work as it is.

I will change the poll before Episode 5 airs or when we reach 250 votes, which ever comes first. So don’t forget to take a second and leave your vote before I change the poll. The poll is located on the sidebar about halfway down.
