    "Perfect"
    By ReemZy, Feb 15, 2007
    I Loved This Episode, It Was Exciting With A Capital "E" ! ;p .. WOW ! .. I Don't Know How These People Do It! Go On Stage And Sing Their Hearts Out And Then Get The "Yes" Or The "No". Boy Oh Boy! I Felt So Sorry For Bailey Brown, Her Voice Is Soo Amazing! It's a Shame That She Got Cut Out! I Loved The Chris (Jack Osbourne Look Alike) Group! It Was Incredible! All Their Voices Sounded Amazing! I Also Liked The Dude With The Afro (The One That Used To Sing Background For Christina Aguilera), His Voice Is A Winner! Seriously, If He Makes An Album, Id Be The First One To Get It! I Also Felt Sorry For The Guy Who Always Calls His Mom After An Audition! He Got Cut Because He Forgot His Words, Why Oh Why Did He Have To Forget Them! He Was Doing So Good ;\ .. OH Well, In The End This IS AMERICAN IDOL, And Somebody Always Has To Go Home!moreless

    Itw as a verys ad episode. Seeing dreams get cut here and there, but it has to be done right? I felt really bad for the indian twins. The girl actually deserved it. I just think Idol doesn't like family being on the top 24 together. So many great talents got cut and it was very crucial. Now I remember why they made such a big deal about this Hollywood Round. At the end of the episode there was only 40 contestants left. Only 24 will be making it to the next round. 12 guys and 12 girls. It will be hard to choose.moreless

    Well, the Hollywood episodes of American Idol are usually good, because this is when the gloves come off, the claws come out and people start stabbing each other in the back.

    However, this episode, while it had some of that, didn't really have a lot of it. But I want to see people breaking down, trying to learn a song from 30 or 40 years before they were born, messing up the lyrics, hating on each other! That's what makes the Hollywood episodes good! 'Cause after they get down to the top 12 or 24 or whatever it is, it's all a sugar sweet love-fest.

    We had a little bit of drama, with the one girl-group, where the one girl went and flirted with the guys instead of practising the song. But not much came of that. And we just didn't seem to see a lot of the mess-ups on stage... I guess they're trying to get to the "good" singers quickly.

    Well, we'll see what tonight brings, with the last day of Hollywood singing.moreless

  • Why the cramming of the Hollywood auditions?

    I don't get why "American Idol" changed up its format this year and crammed all of the Hollywood performances into one episode. Every other year, there were at least four Hollywood shows.

    The show felt rushed (because it was) and you got to know absolutely no one in more depth. The producers chose to focus on just a few stories, namely, the story of Baylie Brown, who got cut because she forgot her words, and the group fighting of the girls that contained the girl who looked like Shakira. The standout performers of the night were the four guys that sang together--the group with the curly-haired guy and the beat-boxer guy and the guy that wore the fedora. Overall, an average show.moreless

  • Cramming 3 days into 1

    What happens when you mix 3 day's (girl's auditions, guy's auditions and the group auditions) all into a 1 hour episode? Boring, average and little humor. Don't get me wrong, what they showed was pretty good, but they could have split it up into 2 day's or at least a 2 hour block. I feel that they jammed so much into an hour that we missed a lot. There wasn't a lot of goof's, which make up the show. We missed way over half of the people actually preforming and only saw what the producers thought was good, bad and should be seen. Also there was more focus on the producers favorites the the rest of the people. Average, hopefully they'll do better.moreless
