American Idol Auditions: Season 8, Episode 5
8:53 pm, 28th Jan 2009
Here’s the latest American Idol Recap of lackluster auditions in Jacksonville, FL, where only 16 tickets to Hollywood were given out. However, at least we got to see hilarious footage of a mohawked Randy Jackson in his days as a bassist for the band Journey:
WOOOOOOOOOOOW
This episode of ‘American Idol’ starts off with some great (sexual?) tension between Simon and Ryan during their limo ride through the swamps of Jacksonville, FL. The judges arrive safely at the audition location with a police escort for some unknown reason. Maybe this is just how they roll? Or maybe the “be careful” guy from Louisville, KY presented a new threat like “remember to wash your hands”?!
We jump into a montage set to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing”, which shows a youthful Randy playing a pink polka dot bass and rocking the widest mohawk ever known to man. Even my Rock Band video game avatar wishes it could be that cool! They intersplice the Randy tribute with auditioners screaming stuff about Jacksonville – get it? Randy Jackson…ville?! Randy isn’t even from Jacksonville – it’s just that his last name is the first part of the city’s name. The producers were really stretching out their brain tissue on this one. I’m sure we will get similar montages when we hit up Abdul-dale or Dio Guardia-ton or Cowell-inchester.
