I'm a little confused... Tuesday night Ryan says 104 contestants made it through Round 1, but here we are Wednesday night and 107 contestants are competing in Round 2... where did these 3 extra people magically appear from? I'm intrigued by this for some odd reason!
Ryan calls GROUP ROUNDS the most difficult part of the competition, I call it the most pointless... to each their own, I guess. We're treated to Seacrest and his "tense" voice narrating what could easily be called childish drama from Crazy Tatiana's group, CryBaby Nate's group and the aptly named "Divas"!
I'm gonna have to go with Kristen McNamara on this one... "drop the drama... IDOL"
Katrina cries to her "Roomate" because she can't hack it (or as we find out later...she has scolieosis?!?) Come on Idol, I'm pretty sure the "roomate" has a name... it's it gonna kill you to spend a few extra bucks and type it?
*sidenote - Crybaby Nate (this will, of course, be his nickname for the rest of the season) is so Danny Noriega is makes me want to cry... but not nearly as much as it apparently makes him want to cry!
ALEX SIGHTING! =)
Katrina is Crybaby #2 and Quitter numero uno... oh wait, no she's not... oh well... she sucks either way!
29 MINUTES in and we're finally at the Kodak... another 5 minutes of Simon reminding us "forget the words... you're out" then we finally hear someone sing!
First up is "White Chocolate" featuring Matt Giraud, India, Kris Allen and Justin Williams: Matt and Kris are pretty dang good! India was eh okay and Justin totally rode him some coattails!
We get a "forgotten lyrics" montage and lose: Beauty Queen Julissa and sweet JB Ahfua.
Nick/Norman and Jorge make it through...
Next is "Action Squad" featuring Emily Wynne Hughes, ALEX!!!!, Ryan Pinkston, Anne Marie Bokovish: Ryan was a screecher, Emily fell apart, Anne Marie's voice didn't really get showcased, but she was sweet trying to help Emily! And ALEX... his voice is pretty good plus he's a goofball... pretty sure that's why I love him!
I enjoyed Simon's "appetite for insults" montage... "I don't want to do this anymore" funny stuff!
The "Rainbow Coalition" featuring Danny Gokey, Jamar, Taylor Vaifanua and poor no name girl were great! Accapella is AWESOME (that's the group Anoop should have been in)! Danny was definitely the stand out! Anyone else see BFFs Danny and Jamar as the "one stays and one goes" final guys in the Top 36 episode? Idol sure does love it manufactured drama!
In the other "vocal stand-outs" montage we see: Jeremy Michael Sarver, Adam Lambert (twice), Matt B. and Jesse Langseth. This is Idols way of helping us figure out who we should like later... thanks Idol!
"The Divas" are next featuring: Lauren Barnes, Katrina, Rose and Jasmine Murray: Jasmine is back singing through her nose and the rest of the girls were crappy... whatevs!
We say bye to our very own Osmond, Student Body Pres Austin and Deana "Overmyer 2.0" Brown!
Some how Crazy Tatiana's whole group makes it through despite being horrible and she proceeds to thank Jesus and profess her love for the entire Idol crew (even the guy holding the sound stick)...
We finish up with Team Compromise (who probably should have picked a different name) featuring Crybaby Nate, Kristen McNamara and Nancy: Nate is strutting his stuff on stage as if this were America's Next Top Model, Kristen actually has a pretty decent voice and Nancy's... well.. going home!
We're treated to one last "SURVIVORS" montage and get glimpses of Megan Corkery and her sleeve tattoo, Casey Carlson, Scott "the blind guy" MacIntyre, Adam Lambert, Arianna "grandFriend" Asfar, Von the screamer, Mishavonna "I was here last year" Henson, Brent Keith Smith, Junot "I was also her last year" Joyner, Kris Allen, India, Lil Rounds, Lil Bro Castro, Kai Kalama, Cody Sheldon, annoying Jackie Tohn, Ryan "cutie" Johnson, John Wifford, Felicia Barton, BFFS Danny & Jamar, Taylor V. and I think Kendall Beard.... (it took a few veiwings, but I think I was able to identify most of them)
About 75 in all make it to Round 3! Let's see how many it actually is come next Tuesday, huh Ry?
Last night had a few rays of sunshine, but too much drama and not enough Anoop! There were some stand out vocals (and even some they didn't brand as stand outs) and next week finally brings out the instruments again... we shall see if we continue this "up trend"!
**I am now learning apparently my TV cut of the preview of Anoop singing next week... I'm sooo sad! I will now have to find it on-line!**
