Every singer who auditions on American Idol is wonderful in their own way. They’re all beautiful, unique snowflakes…but there’s so many of them that the audition round can star to feel like a veritable snowpocalypse of hopeful warbling. Brrrrrrrr, chilly! Stay warm during tonight’s episode by playing along with EW’s American Idol Audition Bingo. Be sure to mark off the appropriate boxes when an adorable 15-year-old performs a song from before 1995, when Steven Tyler wears a highly specific piece of ridiculous clothing, or when a victorious auditioneer plays the old “I didn’t get a golden ticket JUST KIDDING I GOT A GOLDEN TICKET!” prank on their anxious family. (“Dawg!” is the free space, of course.) While you’re playing along, chat about tonight’s episode down in the comments. Be sure to check back here in the morning for Annie Barrett’s full recap.

I love this Bingo card!
In fact, I think I will just read the card again and save an hour of watching Idol.
Would be way more fun if this was a drinking game…
That’s so awesome!! I don’t remember any girls singing Bruno Mars songs… though I’d love it if people did!
Free space could have been Seacrest making an awkward sexual comment too
Last night when he was helping the woman with the charleyhorse, I could not stop laughing!! Her whole family was totally ignoring her! It reminded me of the viral video of the kid screaming ‘help’ to his aunt on the roller coaster and she was in her own little world laughing hysterically.
I find Seacrest is getting funnier and less cheeseball-y . Is it just me?
And what do you do after the first five minutes?
Start again and see how many times you can complete it?
What the fudge?! Ok Darren you’re having a little bit too much fun with your writing job LOL. That’s ok though. Good idea Darren.
Darren, I am missing Hawaii Five 0 bingo, can you please bring it back? I am digging Idol Bingo, great idea and easier to win I am sure, but 5-O please!!
I kept the Hawaii Five-0 Bingo card from the magazine. I won’t watch without it! It makes the show so much more interesting.
Way to steal an idea, Darren: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/american-idol/american-idol-audition-bingo-39120.aspx
ouch, ah oh!!!!! LOL
He did one with Hawaii Five-0 back in November
… ouch, ah oh …

Love the card, we need to get an online interactive version! Also, if you (like me) miss Simon, vote for his return! http://bringbacksimon.com/
Does Simon want to come back? I see that his fans want him back—but that doesn’t mean that he wants to be on the show. That’s his choice, not the fans.
Soooo, what am I going to do for the other 50 minutes of this episode?
Hmm, I didn’t get bingo! Maybe I’ve heard the word “dawg” so much from Randy that my brain just glosses over it every time he says it.
Great idea with the Bingo. Gotta say Lauren Alaina, the last girl of the day has a really beautiful voice. I can definetly see why Steven Tyler feels that she can go a long way. I know she is only 15 but her voice can take her really far. Plus that duet with Steven Tyler was fantastic. I can seem them doing that on finale night. It’s a long way off but she has some great talent.
If you like other Idol please check out the above website. Thanks.
I’m seriously getting “15-year-old” fatigue. Are we seeing ALL of them? I just wish Idol was just a touch more subtle in what type of “artist” they wish to produce this year: Disney Disney Disney, with a Justin Beiber thrown in!
We are the voters. Then we better make sure that the Justin Beiber thing doesn’t happen too much.
Awesome idea!! Thank you!
bring back hawaii five-0 bingo!
This Bingo card is hilarious and more entertaining that AI this year. Love the top left corner pic of Steven Tyler! Keep the laughs coming, Darren. We need it this season.
