This part is a waste of my time. I sure hope Ellen brings some juice to this or its going to be painful. Oh and... I Can't Stand Kara!!!! I'm not going to make the whole season listening to her. Let alone watching her act so stupid all the time. <sigh> Needs coffee.
Originally Posted By mele I was so angry when Avril said no to the really talented guy because he was a dad.

I'm not really a fan (although she is very attractive). She's engaged to Russell Brand (sp) whom I absolutely loathe. The sound of his voice...makes me want to run him over with my car. ;-) My favorite so far: The guy with the ugly square glasses whose parents were gang members when they were young but moved away to give him a better life. I LOVED his voice.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 LOL! mele Lisann you are so right about the guest judges! Victoria (although I couldn't look at her) obviously knew the business. I still can't place the 2nd girl from last night. At least Avril has been on the View or Saturday Night Live or something that I watch The sweatshirt made her look SO professional I kinda liked Kara last year but this year she is channeling Paula's ditziness. I liked Paula but she was Paula, not Kara channeling her. And so on Poor Big Mike!!! Oh man, I have no idea who he is but I feel really badly for him.

The hooded sweatshirt was ridiculous. It's hard to develop any favorite contestants yet. There are so many we haven't even seen or heard. Those we have heard kind of feel like a set up of who the producers want us to like. Ya know?
Originally Posted By Lisann22 I liked gangbanger parents kid too. I was getting so mad at Avril. Wow, I'm glad I'm not alone. If I could have, well I wrote you what I'd do on FB. I think its so rude how much playing around and joking Kara does when she's being asked to give an opinion or when the kids are singing. No matter how bad they are it doesn't make their behavior ok. And 125%, a bazillion %. Gag.
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Yes, I was getting mad at Avril too. They both just seemed to have too high opinions of themselves. Now tonight we have a Jonas brother (Joe I think) and Neil Patrick Harris as guest judges. At least I think they will be nice and encouraging.

Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, and as for Avril Lavigne - can she talk any more in a style that makes EVERY DANG THING SHE SAYS sound like a question? Jeez, I wanted to slap her and tell her to stop that. Oh, and for the person who doesn't recognize Katy Perry - she does "I Kissed a Girl" and "Waking up in Vegas."
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 ^^that was me Thanks Labuda! I googled the songs and have to say that I didn't recognize them. The "kissed a girl" and something about cherry lipstick did sound familiar but I think it was from a TV show with the characters singing it, not her. <<is officially old and OK with it

Originally Posted By csgoofygirl Why was she wearing the hood on her head inside during the auditions? Why did the hood have horns on it? Was the room really that cold? Was she on her way to a costume party? Inquiring minds want to know.
