American Idol Season 8 Auditions!
8:07 pm, 14th Jan 2009
Hey guys,
New season, new judge, same twisted American Dream! I am recapping American Idol Season 8 for TV Grapevine
America watches them more than the news!
Here’s an excerpt from my recap of the first episode (Phoenix, AZ auditions):
American Idol is back!!!!!!!! I have to say that watching these initial auditions in Arizona can be so painful. But it’s so worth it when once in awhile some crazy talented (or just plain crazy) person shows up, or Simon and Paula fight – whichever!
The season starts off with montage of past seasons set to Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”. Then we move into a montage of auditionees yelling “I will be the next American Idol” in cult-like fashion. “Welcome to Hollywood!” IS a religion in America. Our first stop on the cross-country audition is Phoenix, Arizona. To set the mood, they show a rattlesnake, a girl in a bikini, and sweat on wattle. We’re reminded that Jordin Sparks came from Arizona. Then we’re introduced to new judge Kara DioGuardi, a prolific pop songwriter who has worked with past idols (basically a female David Foster). Kara and Paula seem to get along great, which only adds to the sorority vibe because they have identical hair and make up. However, it looks like Paula is trying to experiment with a new look because she inexplicably puts on Randy-looking shades throughout the course of the auditions.
