When I sat down to watch American Idol tonight, I said to myself “there’s no way that I’m going to watch 2 full hours of auditions”. But I did. The producers of this show suck you in with all the teasers. Every commercial break was like “up next, you won’t believe the unbelievable talent”. Then they show some log roller guy or girl with overalls on. So I’m like I gotta see this unbelievable talent. I’m a sucker!

So 1st round of auditions were very entertaining with yes, some unbelievable talent. The show was also full of laughs. It was like I was watching Comedy Central. From the first contestant that thought Kara was Paula, to the “Holla” guy that said Simon was “sassy” and the guy that Simon said dressed like LaToya Jackson! I actually LOL! The night also had some very serious moments; I do like how the producers show inside the lives of some of the contestants.

Kara cracks me up, when people sound really good she grooves, shaking her head like she’s all into their singing. But now, I’m excited to see Ellen and the contestants who make it on the show. So far so good. But sorry to say, it won’t be the same without Simon.
