It's cruel. If they pass the initial auditions, they've been set up thinking they're pretty good, and they've been set up to be laughed at. The Paula "stalker" guy and the last "Brothers forever" guy I don't mind so much, because they're in on the joke. When they intentionally set up people to be the butt of the joke, I think it's downright sadistic. Yeah, yeah, they put themselves out there when they decided to audition in the first place, but have a heart guys - tell them "no" at the initial audition and don't make them embarrass themselves before millions of people for our cruel amusement. I watch these early shows to see little glimpses of the talent that may emerge later. The 18 year old who could do the spot-on Britney Spears and finally sang like herself could be one to watch.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <<and the last "Brothers forever" guy I don't mind so much, because they're in on the joke.>> <Was he? He seemed awfully sincere.> He could have been sincere AND in on the joke. After all, he could sing fairly well, and he might have just wanted to get his brotherhood-message song out there to the masses. But if he's ever watched the show before, he should know that no "silly costume" guy has ever been passed through. So he could have known full well they weren't going to pass him through, yet he still got national TV exposure; thus, in on the joke and sincere at the same time.

Originally Posted By ecdc >>Okay there was something a little off kilter about that story.<< Yeah, I thought that was way creepy. Look, I'm all for kids being close to their parents and all, and if someone decides to "save themselves" for marriage, that's their choice (one that I personally don't think is all that healthy, but that's just me). But I'm not sure what it was, but that relationship between father and son...ewww. And I have two boys myself. It strikes me like a purity ball, where kids declare their virginity and dedicate themselves to their parents. It's almost a little incestuous for me. I know they don't mean it like that, I'm just saying that's how it strikes me.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip ^^^ Yes, I linked to ‘Chocolate Rain’. I went down the whole page looking for naughty words that would get it admined and I didn't find any. Maybe there are some naughty words I don't know about. At any rate, if anyone wants to see/hear 'Chocolate Rain' just go to You Tube and search for it. You'll be glad you did. Kind of.
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 I didn't see any dirty words when you posted the link yesterday, either.

Now I'll have this stupid song stick in my head for hours."
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I thought Randy, Paula and Simon were pretty gentle last night. The show was entertaining without continuing to show someone who needs professional help. Just enough chuckles to keep it going I agree with Simon about the last singer, you could kind of tell she thought she was great, it will be interesting to watch her go on. Then again, I suppose confidence is key. On a side note, the two guys from last season, can't think of their names but Simon said one of them looked like a baby monkey or something like that, super mean Simon moment. Anyway, they were on Jimmy Kimmel the other night and it was pretty darn amusing. Jimmy had them make a video of a Sesame Street song, "Sing a Song" and it was pretty interesting and creepy at the same time. You could kind of see that they still think they could be on American Idol.
