Group Round Strikes Again

Wow. This season's groups were wild, Destiny's Wild that is. For some insane reason the groups decided to give themselves names each more ridiculous than the last: The Dreamers, The Mighty Rangers, Destiny's Wild, Neapolitan, Phoenix, Faith and Team Awesome, just to name a few.

I was surprised that there wasn't a names like, "Ugly Criers" or "I'm One Group Away From Going Home." Group time is not the best time, but if you are going to be a contestant on this show you must have a strategy for survival.
Speaking of ugly criers, the self proclaimed Jack Black look-a-like is one of the worst criers I have ever seen. I think it was even worse than Russell Crowe in Gladiator. I mean come on man! You are 28 years old. It's definitely a bummer you didn't make it but keep some dignity brother! Ask your self, "What Would Jack Black Do?"

Three men and a Baby, not only had a decently funny/appropriate name but were all good singers. They kept it simple and which helped them because they had a medium sized group. Most groups had too many members and too much drama. Keep it simple people and practice!

Though I have never attended an Idol group day I have been paying attention and here is how you pass group day. I call them the 4 Rules for Passing Group Day:

1. Small groups. A group of 3-4 is the best way to go. Less people = less drama.
2. Stay away from songs that are difficult. Forgetting words = going home.
3. Keep sassy teens and Mary Powers away. Don't let annoying people suck the talent out of ya.
4. Sing well.

Stick to these simple rules and you're sure to make it to the next brutal day in HellWeek - hotel banquet room waiting......

Tonight is sure to be a good night! 71 made it pass hellish group day but only 24 will make it. Who will be the next American Idol!?
