it was dramatic as always. can’t wait for your review. go AW-T!
absa-”****ing”-lutely disappointed that Deanna didn’t make it through. She was amazing, so much better than Tatiana *cough moronic b-i-t-c-h *cough and that over dramatic guy who was fake and stuff and they thought he didn’t have a chance in hell as said by Kara. anyway, overall a pretty intense episode to make up for the abysmal auditions
wait until michael finds out deanna went home, ouch
Uh…thanks, Simon and Randy, for letting Bikini Girl through (strictly on the merits of her “talent” ::::eye roll::::). I think Rose would have stood a MUCH better chance had she been in another group!
This episode was so juicy, even my husband got into the drama. I don’t know why Katrina’s group members didn’t refuse to let her back into the group after her. I feel so bad for Rose–it’s like all the fight went out of her.
I don’t understand why that screechy psycho self-absorbed twit Tatiana gets through and Deanna and/or the Osmond doesn’t. And they couldn’t even show their groups’ performances?
By the way, Bikini Girl *didn’t* get through, thank God. Though you wouldn’t know it from how she reacted.
Yeah. I was p.o.’d both times the guys let her through. Completely ridiculous! Could they act anyMORE like pervy, leacherous old dudes? Gross. But I’m sure that chick got everything she wanted from this little gig. Next up?…Girls Gone Wild. If she hasn’t already done it, that is! I just hoped Rose would make it through. At least another round. Seeing her in that group was like listening to that ol’ Sesame Street fave…”One of these things is nt like the other. One of these things just doesn’t belong”
How do you not send an Osmond through? The children in that family are born singing. Have the judges lost their minds?
Oh, Slezak–this one’s gonna kill you! Boy-oh-boy, no one is going to remember the flameout that was Bailey Brown after this! To see that many frontrunners and supposed finalists get cut–and without seeing a minute of them performing or any screentime. Just a quick list from Ryan…oh there they go. Wow. Strange episode.
By far the best episode of the season. I’m super-glad Bikini Girl got kicked off, super-bummed that Rose was sent home and super-confused about why Tatiana stuck around.
Actually, my outrage was that we had to sit through 30 minutes of crap before we heard anyone sing a note.
I can’t believe that Tatiana went got through – that the whole group got through. She doesn’t seem to realize that the public has to vote for her and her personality is so annoying. Also there were too many poor performances shown (and why didn’t we get to see others?)
I did feel a little bad for the redhead who wanted to work and did not get through because, the blond girl wanted to rest her voice too much – and she got through.
Deanna Brown got cut?!? I wish they would’ve let us see that performance because I was a big fan of hers. And Tatiana NEEDS TO GO. I will be sick if she makes it to the semis.
Bye bye, Katrina. No one liked you anyway.
And can we see Scott (aka legally blind guy)?!? We haven’t heard any of his Hollywood performances yet. Maybe the Idol producers are waiting to show us his best, I don’t know but I’d really like to see more of him.
Are the producers trying to give us reasons to stop watching? You extend Hollywood week coverage and load it with nonsense without showing a note of singing from the people we’ve invested in? What a complete waste of time, except for a handful of seconds. How bad is next week going to be?
yay – Johnny Lang’s kid sister made it to the top 75!
