Only for the auditions. I usually pee myself laughing. After that I quit watching.

I'm a huge AI nerd... love this show!!

I wish they would show more good people. I get so annoyed watching people who are obviously putting on an act just to be on TV.

I love AI!! Couldn't wait till tonight, but I was a little disapointed at the turn out. Only 18 from MN went onto Hollywood?!

I used to love the auditions, now I think i'll wait until they get to Hollywood. The producers have gotten so caught up in showing these people who are ridiculous and who are totally faking it. It's not even funny anymore.

I agree. I mean, it got pretty pathetic to the point where it's not laughable anymore

I was watching that red-haired guy singing and you can tell right away he's totally faking it just to be on TV. I could imagine yesterday he might be sitting at a bar with his buddies and laughing at himself!

Was it last season that by the time they did the Hollywood stuff, we didn't really know the finalists b/c they never gave them much air time during the auditions? It was a bunch of people that I never saw before with the exception of the poor singing cowboy... wonder what happened to him?

Last night was rotten - completely overdone in so many ways. I used to love the auditions (better than the rest of the show) but last night wasn't even funny. The only time I remember laughing out loud was once at the beginning when Simon told that girl "the good news is that singing is not for you - now you can move on to something else" and the other was when the big girl with the awful blonde hair & terrible eyeliner (was it Brenna?) came in - just the look on Simon's face when the door opened and she walked in... priceless.

Other than that, the funniest part of the show was watching the rejected candidates walk right into the locked door. You gotta figure they thought it was funny too, or they would have put a "Use other door" sign up after the first couple people did it.

"Hey Paula, when's the last time you made a record huh?" Classic. Personally I lost it when Randy went off on the vocal teacher and Simon sat there and anatagonized the poor guy for pure entertainment. Now that was hilarious.

Yep. They air mostly the bad auditions. They probably think that gets them more viewers. I enjoyed watching the bad auditions the first few seasons because they were real. But now there's a bunch of people who put on an act just to be on TV. I don't think anyone thought the juggler guy was for real. His "tears" were so fake. His mother was trying so hard to look sad but you could tell she was about to start cracking up. I grabbed a book after that audition and just read until I heard someone that sounded good.
