You iracktitate me.

The cheesy editing on Idol is about as subtle as that one guy's coat, but one of the things they do really well is create a package on a quirky contestant illustrating their most intriguing and annoying eccentricities, leaving the viewers in suspense as to whether they will blow us away with their talent, or blow us away with the lack of it. This week we started out with Telenovela Tatiana, aka gigglechick, and after she sang, we were no more enlightened. Personally, I don't think they should have encouraged or enabled her ridiculous attention-whore behavior for a Hollywood minute.

Jesus's kids were adorable, but Simon called it correctly right from the start: he's not bad but he won't last long.

I'm glad they showed us a few of the other finalists, if only in abbreviated form. I waht them to do this more often. I'm annoyed when we waste so much time on auditions like Rubic's Cube dude, and then some of the finalists are complete strangers.

I'm fascinated by Kara's tidy-tattered blouse. And apparently we've discovered her role: girl who will talk back to Simon, but actually make sense.

"I wanna sing the same song over; I came from the wrong rectum." She shouldn't have let Simon, Paula, and Randy iracktitate her.

Annie was annoyingly flakey, and yes, over the top, but she sang at least as well as Telenovela Tatiana or Jesus.

I'm Andrew Lambert. I started singing and doing musical theater at age ten. "I decided to come out.... and audition for American Idol...." Interesting choice of words, bud. Unfortunately, America always gets rid of the boys that seem a little suspect, regardless of their singing abilities. Nice use of Coldplay as a running soundtrack for this guy. At the end of this segment, a ninja stylist can be seen sneaking up on Paula, perhaps to execute some stealth grooming?? And how would that work exactly, with her nice. hat. ?
