Liked the "Dallas Show" and appreciated the courtesy of most of the contestants who were a credit to the South. I particularly like the farmer from Mississippi.

"Superb"

By JYCast, Jan 25, 2008 Report Abuse

As a native Texan I was proud of most of the contestants who tried out for AI in Dallas, TX. There were many talented people, and most were very polite even when rejected. I think there really must be someting to this "Southern hospitality" thing.

I particularly liked the "farmer" from Mississippi. I'm not really into country music, but he was so good looking and clean cut, with such a strong worth ethic, I was completely captivated. I was also slightly embarrassed by some of the "talent". I continue to be amazed at the nerve of some people who clearly know they have no talent yet still want to be seen on TV. Some even seem to be in need of psychiatric help. But, I also know that the "nutty" rejects are part of AI's popularity.

Over all, I liked the Dallas show, and LOVE AI!moreless

"Great"

This is the first time that American Idol has been back to Dallas since the original season in 2002. And that the winner was a then-unknown contestant by the name of Kelly Clarkson, the original Idol winner. Again some contestants were funny and warm. And some were good. Some I wished that would had made it. Like the one that says that he never has kissed a girl before. I agree with one viewer that Simon didn't make fun of the guy. Plus, it does prove that he can have a soul. Great show and where they will turn out next as well as who will they expect to get? We don't know!moreless

"Superb"

By RyLiE_SuNsHiNe, Jan 19, 2008 Report Abuse

The auditions continue is Dallas, Texas. There were some hilarious auditions, and there were some good ones. One of the really good ones was Drew....don't know his last name. He was good. I actually thought that guy who had never kissed a girl was pretty good. I wish he would have made it through to Hollywood. He was cute and sweet. The little Asian guy at the end that loved Simon was so funny! I've been singing his song for days now! It's very catchy. And I'm with Simon it probably will be a hit. I know I'd put it on my ipod! Probably make it my ringtone! Lol. Anyways, it was funny seeing the judges dancing and goofing off and just having a good time. Memorable episode.moreless

"Great"

By Fwirrel, Jan 17, 2008 Report Abuse

American Idol goes back to Texas to look for talent. They hadn't been to Texas since season 1 where they found Kelly Clarkson. The auditions are always funny, and this one was no different. There were a lot of odd people and some good people that look like they'll do relatively well. No one really popped up to me. I thought the funniest moment was when the ball-park cleaner guy came in and sang terribly, but the judges were nice to him because he was so happy. Simon didn't make fun of him at all. It was funny, and it showed that he can be nice. Anyways, this was an average audition episode.moreless
