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.

This gives me a new appreciation of the rather strict Norwegian name laws. You're just not allowed to name your kids something that will be ... erm ... of a disadvantage. I think that law came after some horrid late-nineteenth century names like Hermetika (Hermetikk = conserves) and Hybrida.

And Ros, Darling, if you didn't even care to find out where the auditions were and when, I hate to break it to you that then you just don't have the necessary drive to be in American Idol. Sorry. You'll have make to do with being one of our stars. ;)
