I hate that I’m excited for this shit. I am such a 12-year-old. But I didn’t have a TV while I was living with my dad when it aired last year, so I’m just extra excited for this year.
Despite my better judgment, I will probably end up doing weekly recaps once they actually select the contestants. I am trying my best to organize my life right now so that I have my evenings free, but, to be honest, I like writing those damn things as much as you guys like reading them, so I’ll probably wind up doing them.
Until then, I will be live-tweeting the show, at least for tonight. And by “live-tweeting” I mean “tweeting about 30 minutes behind, because I was hanging out with friends and am going to watch it on DVR.” You can follow me on Twitter here.
Also feel free to use this thread to chat about the first episode of auditions.
Woot woot!!!
So so. The blind guy has talent and he is different. The bikini broad is novelty act. Let’s see what Kansas City might bring…
I had to give blind guy props…my 3.5 month old son is blind so it’s kind of inspiring to see. He was good, not the greatest but it was still cool to watch. I teared up a bit since I know one day my son will have his own little cane…
Bikini girl reminded me too much of Megan from Rock of Love (and every other show she’s been on). What the hell was up with her jaw twitching as she sang? I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m glad she made it through though so I can laugh at her some more.
my daughter said that bikini girl was trying out for the wrong show and had rock of love written all over her.
Oh, and I have to say that yes, I do realize that Blind Guy is probably mostly only there for the Awww effect and not so much for his singing talent.
But still. Kinda cool.
did ryan seacrest just try to fucking high five a blind guy?….that was awesome…..
I know! My husband had me rewind it twice and then laughed his ass off.
Hooray Idol! There were a few quality people tonight with unique voices, so there’s hope. Bikini girl was ridiculous, and Ryan Seacrest totally wanted to nail her. Ick. The new judge, Kara, is pretty quality. I loved that she got into a fight with bikini girl…so entertaining.

I’m not sure Ryan wanted her near him. He was actually hiding from her and you can tell he was not comfortable at all when she kissed him. He didn’t kiss her back. He kind of just stood there. Isn’t he dating someone?
Yes, I thought Ryan looked terrified…and gay.
I have to say, I absolutely loved Cody Sheldon. He was sensational. Yes, in large part that is due to his adorable charm and that loveeeely siljky hair. But….great voice too XD
