American Idol Hits Dallas

Once again a night where no one really stood out. Can we just go straight to Hollywood now?

Fingernail Guy – he got IN? Seriously – he got IN? The fingernails alone would have made me vote “no.” His voice was okay, but not worthy of going to Hollywood. Look for him to be out in the first round once he lands on the beach.

Future President Guy – much like Simon, I did not expect this kid’s voice to be any good. And Randy nailed it when he said the guy was straight-up Glee Club stylee. I’m quite positive that he’ll make it to the Top 12 guys. Why? Because he has a passable voice, he’s likeable, and every season needs a nerd (see: Kevin Covais and that redheaded dude from Season 4 who sang the atrocious version of “Crocodile Rock” that would have had Elton rolling in his grave had he been dead).

Virgin Dude – he reminded Denis and me of our former music leader in New Jersey. VERY similar in look and style AND morals. He had a decent voice – certainly better than toenail guy. He should have made it to Hollywood.

The Guy Who Forgot His Meds – you know the one I’m talking about. The Living on a Prayer dude who was more scary than the faux-stalker dude who sang to Paula on Episode One and got taken out by security when he wouldn’t leave. He was C-R-E-E-P-Y. That whole shouting/whispering thing? Yeah, we’ll see him on the news again – and not in a good way.

The Rocker Guy – dude, you can’t claim to be a rocker and then sing KELLY CLARKSON.

The Pimp Dude – I fell asleep during his bit but his incessant droning of his original song woke me up and saw the tail end. Looked like the gang ended the day with some real fun – good for them.

All the girls ran together last night – can’t tell you one single thing about any girl audition.
