I want to invite George "Simple house, marble floors" Ramirez to a party at my house - I was impressed and amused by his ability to wildly misinterpret the questions asked of him.
Also, nobody should ever try to sing a Minnie Ripperton song. Including Minnie Ripperton.
Paula clearly had hooch in her cup tonight. The crazy was in full force.
Were there several undeserved golden tickets tonight or was I just not paying close enough attention?
An Osmond tomorrow? I can't wait.

Damn near a quarter of the tickets given out this year have been to total craphat singers -- I'm not sure if that's normal, or if we're just seeing more of the detritus that gets passed through to fill up Hollywood week. Or weeks this year, I think -- which is good, that winnowing down always seemed too fast before.
ReplyDeleteI continue to be amused by the audition eps because I think a shockingly large percentage of the population is for-real crazy, and this pretty much proves my point. I'm curious if more sucky Americans come out than sucky people in other countries -- anyone seen any of the foreign versions? Americans particularly tend to overestimate their skill at everything and are disproportionally extroverted, so it makes me wonder.
You make a great point, Lisa. Every season I say that I feel sorriest for the singers who are good but not great, because they actually are decent singers, and you know they're the best singer at their church, or at their favorite karaoke (It's pronounced "kah reh o keh") bar, or in their school choir, and the American tendencies for exaggerated praise and disproportionate extroversion make them believe that they have a shot.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm always shocked -- shocked! -- at those completely horrid singers who are so angry and upset at the news that they can't sing. Are they really that delusional? Have they no sense of reality whatsoever? I'm just baffled.
