Why didn't anyone tell me...

...that there were American Idol auditions in Philadelphia? I could have been a STAR!!!!

Here are my observations on tonight's programme:

1. Do not name your daughter 'Temptress'. There is no circumstance in her life where this will be a positive thing.
2. If someone tells you that your voice is like that of Paul Robeson, they are lying. No one sings like Paul Robeson and you shouldn't try.
3. Belly dancing costumes won't get you through. Especially if you are male and overweight. Even when you get your chest hair waxed off.
4. Being a Star Trek geek won't get you through, either. Even if you do wear Princess Leia hair. Throwing a tantrum about it afterwards just makes you look stupid.
5. Even Simon is nice. Sometimes.
6. If you are Obsessed With Paula Abdul, it is not a good idea to write a song about stalking her and sing it on national television. The security guards will be called. Though kudos for the Columbo reference - 'Peter Falk her' does indeed rhyme with 'stalk her'.

No one really stood out as a possible winner, but you never know who might improve and who we didn't get to hear.

WRT number 4. Star Trek geek = Spock Ears,
Star Wars geek = Princess Leia hair.

*grin* and WRT #3: the belly-dancing outfit was a take off on Leia's "metal bikini" outfit in Star Wars, too... it just looked *scary* on that guy, though. *shudder*

I am quite proud of getting that wrong. I do actually know the difference but not from first hand experience of watching either.
