Los Angeles swooped in like a cool breeze over a hot fatty. Everything from the judges to the contestants stepped it up in LA. American Idol has finally arrived!
This summer the Crooner and I graced the Rose Bowl with our glorious selves. We didn't know what to expect but we came prepared with food, drinks and cigs. However, we didn't count on the heat, my god the heat! The sun was out and we left the sunscreen at the store. Though we left full, quenched and with nicotine we also had the worst sunburn of our lives.
I can't speak for the pale skinned Crooner, but my brown ass has never seen or felt anything like this! I thought I was doing myself a favor and wore a tank top, but what I didn't realize I was offering up my skin to the sun demons. To this day I cower in fear when I see direct sunlight.
Along with crispy skin we walked away with a better understanding of how the audition process works. As the buddy of an auditioner, I was there to offer my support and gawk at the young and weird. There was teenagers as far as the eye can see, all there with their teenage-minded mothers and most walked away disappointed.
LA presented us with 2 guest judges, Avril "I was born with these fangs" Lavigne and Katy "coke throwing" Perry.
Both were unlike any guest judge I have seen. They both were brutal at times, they were not afraid to offend and I noticed they both are slangin' Proactive on the commercial breaks. I'm unsure if this is a normal thing for guest judges to be in the adverts because I usually skip them.
Avril irritated me a bit, especially when it came to the critique of Jim Ranger, worship pastor. He doesn't need life advice from someone who was famous at 16. You may have already been married and divorced but that ain't no thang!
Kara jumped on the skateboard and agreed with Avril because she can't help but try to connect with every GJ. I think they were just freaked out watching a worship pastor sing. I have to admit, I was too, but you can't stomp on a man's dream just because he loves the Jesus (or cause you're bitter!). He can actually sing, and write better songs than the shit we saw from Kara last year.
What's a worship pastor anyways? I think Ranger should consider changing his title to War Pastor. Way better. Waaaaaay better.
She liked 28 year old Mary Powers (not to be confused with Mary Powers and Powers of Light) and so did I. Avril showed she was pleased by flashing her fangs and complimented Powers on her raspy voice, "it was punk rock and I liked that." I like punk rock too Avril! I just didn't realize black make-up and clothes + raspy voice = punk rock...
Enough of that, on to Katy Perry, an unexpected hero.
Katy is brutally honest and hated the 3 little judges for arriving in a helicopter. I waited for her brutal honesty to pour out to the judges but it was a no go. However, I soon was satisfied when Katie and Kara started to bicker like an old married couple. I guess Katy can't handle Kara's jabber for very long. Eh, who can!? The GJ was making sense, you shouldn't send someone through because you feel bad or whatever. I wanted Katy to douse Kara's mouth with coke but I guess she ain't brutal, just honest.
Andrew Garcia
This guy can sing, regardless of being a dad with gang-banger parents and married to the drummer of Murderland. His sob story needs some work but his voice does not. Simon was all over this boyz nuts, I think he is getting nicer as the year progresses. Dabbing in the nostalgia early Simon? Or is this kid just that legit? In Kara's own words, "I really, really like you." Really Kara? Really? Are you serious!?
Overall Great Show! Thank you Los Angeles. I love you.
Tonight AI hits Dallas with Neal Patrick Harris! Here at IT we always knew someday NPH will be a part of AI in some way. After all, we are genius innovators. Don't remember? Take a look back to a post by our good friend Jesco back in April. You will see NPH in all his glory.
