Well, that's the end of a boring and depressing show. 45 contestants made it through, although it didn't seem like it from who they showed. Now the judges are hyping up Portland for delivering. Next time, show more good people!
Next time, St. Louis! Hopefully, that gives us some excitement.
[2/1/2012 9:01:00 PM]
The auditions are coming to an end. We get our final clips of people getting rejected. If this episode produced even 20 golden tickets, I'll be surprised.
Finally is Jessica Phillips from Brooklyn. Her boyfriend had a stroke, and when he woke up, he didn't know who she was. She is now a caretaker of her boyfriend. She's just happy that she has a life with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend says he would be nowhere without her, and that he loves her.
After the story, J-Lo is already in tears. She gets ready to sing, and takes her time starting. She has the typical female R&B voice, just like a hundred artists I've heard. She's good, but not original. The judges like her, though. She gets a yes from each judge. So, she's the final one through to Hollywood.

Next up is a guy with a real baby face. No, I'm serious. He looks like the Gerber baby! Also looks like a blonde, chubby-faced Conan O'Brien.
His name is Ben Harrison. He's been in several bands but has been kicked out of all of them.
He's singing some Queen, and he is extremely nasally. I hate this guy. He gets way too high, and is just annoying.
After blowing a kiss to J-Lo, he gets the boot. Thank goodness.
Time for another commercial, the final one of the day. After this, to end a miserable night, we're going to get a sob story. Great...
[2/1/2012 8:50:54 PM]
We're back. I just want this episode to end.
Next up is Naomi Gillies, who is actually quite beautiful. She kind of reminds me of Uma Therman in looks. She goes with a Steven Tyler song, and she's singing it pretty strong. The judges really like her, especially Steven. She's moving on to Hollywood!
With that... We get a string of rejects! Yay! One girl's pants were especially shiny! And we also get lots of screaming at the camera, flipping of birds, and punching of cameras!
[2/1/2012 8:44:38 PM]
Next up is a Liberian refugee. His name is Romeo Diahn, and he has come to America to try finding a better life. During his time in Liberia, he saw countless people perish, so this guy really needs this gig more than a lot of others here.
His singing has a bit of a Jamaican feel to it. The judges are overall impressed, although J-Lo is not as impressed. He gets a yes from them all, but J-Lo says it's a tiny yes. But he's through.
Funniest part of that audition was one of his friends asking Ryan who he was. ^_^
Speaking of funny... Another commercial... o_O
[2/1/2012 8:41:10 PM]
Ryan is now carrying a tree behind the judges for some reason. The judges comment that he must be bored. Frankly, so am I.
[2/1/2012 8:40:06 PM]
Finally back. Next up is David Weed, who looks like an even bigger nerd than what Clay Aiken looked like back in the day. He works in fast food, and dies a little inside every time he asks if they want fries with that.
He's going to sing some Rush... WTF??? He screams a good part of the song. Randy looks horrified. A big no from the judges.
[2/1/2012 8:34:44 PM]
Next up is Sam Gershman, who is dancing with other people in the holding room. When she walks in, Stephen curses again, probably because she's wearing a revealing shirt. She starts singing, and she goes pure theatrical. She's screaming most of the notes, and shrieks the falsettos. The judges all give her a no and say she needs to work on her performance.
With that, another commercial break.
[2/1/2012 8:32:20 PM]
Next up is Britney Kellog, and she's a mother of two who was married until her basketball-playing husband went skirt-chasing.
She's going to sing "You're No Good". Go figure. She's got a strong country voice to her. The judges are just blown away. She gets a quick yes from the judges, and she's through. She asks for parental advise from J-Lo, and she tells Britney that she doesn't have to give up on the kids or something. Suddenly, her entire family comes in, and it's a big family moment. Britney's mother's shirt says her daughter is the next Idol. J-Lo says she has a good chance.
[2/1/2012 8:28:35 PM]
We're back on day two, and we have more people throwing rose petals. I'll admit... So far, this has been a boring episode.
And it looks like J-Lo is missing a pair of tights.
[2/1/2012 8:24:34 PM]
We're being greeted back to Idol by somebody who I'm sure was a reject.
Next up is a church singer mama's boy, Jermaine Jones. He and his mama say that they were born to sing, and Jermaine has IT. Wow, he's 6'8 1/2"! Big guy!
He goes with Superstar, which is what Ruben Studdard auditioned with all those years ago. He's doing a good rendition of it. Nice vibrato, and a pretty deep baritone. Not like Old Man River-deep, but he can get some low notes. He's sweating profusely as the judges give their votes. They all say yes, and J-Lo tells him he needs to loosen up.
He's a very likable guy. I hope he goes far.
And just as fast as we get here, we go to another commercial. Gotta pay those bills!
[2/1/2012 8:16:58 PM]
Welcome back to Portland! They remind us about their last trip to the northwest. Seattle, specifically. There were a lot of freaks there. Looks like there will be a lot of freaks here, too.
Speaking of freaks, here's this guy who's belching, blowing his nose... You know, just chalk full of cooties!
His name is Ben Purdom, and he was convinced by his coworkers to try out for Idol because they knew talent when they saw it. So he goes with a Lady Gaga song. As soon as he starts singing, Stephen curses. He is just crazy sounding, but at least he's funny. He gets a no from each judge, and he's out. He blames his sickness and he couldn't hit his falsetto. So to compensate for his lack of falsetto, the producers replay his audition with him sounding like a chipmunk. Yeah, thanks for scarring me, producers!
Another break.
[2/1/2012 8:08:52 PM]
First up, Brittany Zika, who is dressed a bit old fashioned. She has a sweet, sultry voice, and J-Lo says it's one of the prettiest voices they've heard. Unanimous yes from the judges, and this girl with a habit of tripping is thinking they are playing a joke on her. but she's through to Hollywood!
Time for our first commercial, of course!
[2/1/2012 8:05:15 PM]
Time for Idol! Today, we are in Portland, Oregon! They love colorful and bright people, and people who throw rose petals are sure to get some screentime! Also getting screentime is Ryan getting his sweater caught on a nail.
