Review: AMERICAN IDOL - SEASON SEVEN - 'San Diego Auditions'

From the opening 15 minutes of the karaoke crapfest known as AMERICAN IDOL - "The San Diego Auditions," I thought they might have turned the other cheek and we were only going to see the good ones rather than the tards, rejects, mentally unstable and autistic kids that come through this show and actually believe they have talent. At minute 16, that was all blown to hell and we once again had the same ole, same ole as the circus came to town in San Diego this episode with dreadful singers, Mardi Gras costumes and craptacular sappy moments with potential hopefuls.
One thing that stuck out more than anything in this third episode, I think the judges are going soft. Or finally, my ravings (and others) about speaking ill of the autistic kids that seem to flock to this show for whatever reason – they must hang special herbs or something near the studios where they audition in order to get them to come – is finally getting through. It almost seems like the “bush baby” incident from last year has set off a backlash against being so mean and while they have been critical, sure, that’s different than railing on someone’s look or someone’s obvious mental instability.

I know some of you may call me a hypocrite for my hanging herbs to attract the tards comment. Well, here’s the diff, I’m not being read by 34 million people. I’m not on TV and judging these people. If anything, I’m the only one I see or read anywhere that’s defending these poor people that go on a show and while the bulk obviously do it for TV time, there are those few that are serious about it and have serious problems that don’t need Simon or Seacrest (unbeknownst to them usually) poking fun at their given life difficulties.

Well despite the awful and the colorful, we got 30 singers out of the mix that are “going to Hollywood” to compete later on. Of course, they still have weeks and weeks left before that even happens and so we shall see if this softer IDOL continues or if “bush baby” Simon will be back on board. Meanwhile, am I the only excited about the fact it was only one hour this week!

Absolutely dreadful moments made by “Seacrest out” or the judges:

Simon insulting everyone’s outfits … Hey buddy, your Mitts (man-tits) are showing through your skin-tight muscle shirts you love to wear every episode. Not really one to talk.
Speaking of Simon, he totally was checking out the chick sitting on his lap. Like dude, you could be her father … maybe grandfather … well, at least father.
Do we really need Seacrest on everyone profiled acting coy like he doesn’t know the person he just sent in there sucks donkey ass?
