Tonight’s American Idol was postponed due to Barack Obama’s speech. So I decided to re-watch the first episode of Season 8. I forgot if any of the finalists came from Phoenix, plus I miss watching American Idol three times a week.
So did anyone memorable come from Phoenix? Well, yes - Bikini Girl and Scott MacIntyre. I also thought Kara DioGaurdi came off very well for her first episode.
I have to say I hated the idea of a fourth judge, but she is doing a great job.
Also, why were there 20 minutes of filler before the first audition? I understand that they want ratings, but you would think the producers could give us an audition. They wouldn’t need to fill the time going over the opportunities David Cook has gained by being on American Idol.
The funniest moment of the episode was how uncomfortable Ryan Seacrest was when Bikini Girl wanted to make out with him. Seacrest’s excuse was wonderful: “It’s against the rules”
Oh yeah, am I the only one who thought Kara looked like Katherine McPhee? Seriously, at one point I actually thought it was her. Good thing Kara is on three seasons later or that would be freaky.
Another great part that I forgot about was right at the beginning with the elementary school girls having a meltdown when David Cook won. I wonder if the producers are trying to send a message that they wished the other David won.
The most shocking moment was that Taylor Hicks was shown. I thought American Idol would try to get rid of him forever and pretend that no one won Season Five. The editing of this Audition Episode was different than the last couple seasons auditions.
It was pretty weird seeing a young Ryan Seacrest with his wonderful blonde highlights next to Brian Dunkelman during the “This is American Idol” montage. Yeah, I wonder if Dunkelman ever got his show he was pitching on-air?
It’s also great that all of these Reality Shows are now in HD. It definitely makes the show better. It’s kind of funny when you compare how overproduced these auditions look now and then compare them to Season One.
Conspiracy Theory Alert-Paula’s contract is up at the end of this season. So does everyone think Kara will replace her? I don’t think they have renewed Paula’s contract yet. This could be very interesting.
