I swore up and down that I would not be sucked in this year, but I just can't turn away from the auditions. Therefore I promised myself that I would just watch the auditions. However, as usual, the people suck me in, so now I have to watch Hollywood week, and then of course I will be glued to the TV until May. Ugh!
Honestly, I don't miss Paula at all, even though I thought that there would be something (though I don't know what that "something" would have been) missing. However, Posh was a perfect replacement, and I would love to see her as the permanent replacement instead of Ellen. I felt that she channeled Paula's kindness and encouragment, while still providing some helpful, honest, and accurate feedback. My only complaint was that she just didn't look healthy. Kara is very thin, though healthy IMO, and Victoria was only a fraction of her size!
Anyway, thoughts on the first two nights:
Vonore TN/the bridge jumper: kind of pulling for her! She isn't as cute or charming as Kelly Pickler, but I am such a sucker for the true small town girl who has never been on an aero-plane! She seemed so genuine. I fear that she will be eaten alive in Hollywood week, though, and miss her mamma too much.
Almost killed 3 times guy: at first I was rolling my eyes that they were giving that guy any airtime, but the "cheap re-enactments" that they created were well worth dealing with his obnoxious speech patterns.
Granddaughter of the Portuguese lady with Alzheimers: a sweet kid that you just want to pull for, but with an a-may-zing voice. Can't believe that she had that voice at 16. If she can hold it together during Hollywood week, she should be able to make at least the semi-finals.
Best of the night, though, hands-down, was Pants on the Ground. There is no doubt that he will reappear for the finale, no? Also, if they put that on iTunes, I swear that he could make a million dollars!
