* Saw this post on the AI board. A girl who made it to Hollywood before auditioned in Birmingham yesterday. Guess she didn't like the line/table she was in so she went up to a producer and she was switched with another girl at another table. I saw the switch but didn't know what was going on as I didn't recognize the girl mentioned. Oh, yes, she made it to the 2nd round. Just proving what has been posted before on the boards and what has been witnessed by people who audition. There are good tables and bad tables. You (normally) have no control on which table they send you to (this is where the luck is). The only helpful hint here is to watch the tables to see who gets sent to the 2nd round. At least you will know what your chances are.

*They were selling water outside but when you got near the door you have to leave all water bottles since you couldn't bring in your own drinks/water/food. Hmmmm!!!!!

* For Future Auditioners: Please remember that they are casting for a TV show. The first round has NOTHING to do with how good you sing. There are thousands of good/great/awesome singers there. The first round is an elimination round only. It's really awesome how efficient they are in doing this round. In order to keep up the hype of the show, AI must show the most auditioners they can, giving everyone a chance and showing the world how popular the show is. The tables are set up with the staff (not real producers) who are doing one of 2 things....they qualify or disqualify. As mentioned above some tables never send anyone to the 2nd row. If you happen to get a bad table, then go to another city or try again next year. If you are really good. This is worth your time. The experience is invaluable. You never know when you will be one of the lucky ones. If you do get a good table, and if you are the type, have the look, can sing (not talking about the bad ones here), then you will be on your way to Hollywood. Good luck to all who audition. Remember to smile like you'll never smile again, own the song, and most of all HAVE FUN!!!!!

I found the winner of the "Fame Whore of the Year" award. Some bitch waiting in line in Minneapolis is 8 months pregnant and trying out for American Idol again.

I met this same girl a year ago while waiting in line for the Chicago auditions. Every time a news camera came anywhere in the vicinity she would fight her way to get right in front of the camera. She's one of those types that thinks they can really sing and will sing for anyone with a camera. The funny thing was, too, when it was announced that the Simon, Paula, Randy rounds of the auditions weren't going to be held until 3 days later, she starts bitching about having to wait that long. As if she is automatically assuming that she will make it that far.

It looks like she is doing the same thing this year in Minneapolis. I almost wonder if she didn't time her pregnancy just to have a gimmick to get through to the next round. Her name is Rachel Coler, watch for her on the blooper reels. One of these videos shows her fabulous singing talent! VFTW!

^ Welcome to the board, Rachel.

And, just like that, Tina is cornfuzzled, yet again. :mink

It has been suggested that I am a no talent hack unlike the virtuoso, ohsnap. Ohsnap was able to point out the obvious lack of skill and talent that one of the contestants had, I don't blame ohsnap at all. I remember seeing him on American Idol 5, doing a stellar job (I relaly havn't "seen" it exactly but with this kind of obvious talent, I can't beleive ohsnap didn't make it all the way). Bring ya to speed?

So apparently Mister Gone is that pregnant chick who hogged the cameras, and is here to retaliate against snap for posting a criticism if her famewhore ways? That's the only sense i can make of the situation. But she's doing rather a weak job of it. Mister Gone, if you want to try to flame someone, do a search for Tbone. He can be your sensai.
