American Idol Season 8: A Tale of Two Cities

2:22 am, 31st Jan 2009

These were the last of the open auditions for this season’s American Idol!  As always, there were tons of crazies and some great talented people:

Tonight on American Idol was our last night on “The Road to Hollywood”, with auditions from two cities:  New York, NY and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Outfits are disappointing tonight.  In New York, Paula is wearing a sheer black geometric print halter and Kara is wearing a dark leopard print tank top.  It’s a little better in Puerto Rico, where Paula has on a red strapless dress with massive pieces of gold jewelry and Kara is wearing a low cowl neck purple tank top. Anyway, let’s get to the auditions:American Idol Simon Good DeedNY:  Keep Your Day Job
Most auditioners are unemployed; however, Adeola Adegoke was so confident about her future on American Idol that she turned in a letter of resignation to her job on the way over to the auditions.   Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the risk because she sings TERRIBLY (specifically, she’s sings a song from “Dream Girls” TERRIBLY).  After the audition, Ryan Seacrest calls up Ade’s former boss.  Simon gets on the phone and asks for Ade’s job back as a bank teller.  What a guy!  Ade doesn’t get to go to Hollywood, but she does get her job back.
