Adam Lambert said the very same thing on Oprah today.

I'm just not feeling it this year. Maybe it will be better when the auditions are over.

I'd much rather hear good singing than watch terrible singers and comedy acts. I doubt many people really enjoy that part.

And tonight was all bad talent. They hardly spent any time on people who could sing.

I forgot the season had started so I missed the first couple of shows. I've got a pretty good track record of "calling" the winner during these early auditions, if they're actually shown during this portion. And if the person I pegged doesn't end up the winner, they always end up at least in the top 3. I missed season one until the finale, but my predictions have gone like this:

Season 2: I called Clay Aiken
Season 3: (man that year SUCKED) Didn't like her one bit (I know that's not a popular opinion), but I called it for Fantasia from day 1
Season 4: Called Carrie the winner immediately
Season 5: Called it for Taylor Hicks, though during the course of the season I became a HUGE Elliott Yamin fan and wished like heck he had won.
Season 6: Called it for Jordin Sparks
Season 7: The only season I couldn't call a winner from either the initial audition rounds or from Hollywood. David Cook didn't really start to shine until the competition rounds, and I didn't call him as the winner until he sang "Hello" during the Top 16 round.
Season 8: The first one I was totally off base, because I called Danny Gokey from the audition rounds, although he did come in 3rd place.

Anyone else notice the show was based in Chicago last night, yet they'd throw back to crazy people swearing and screaming to poke fun at the city..........and the people screaming in the clips were surrounded by palm trees???


They could at least get the location fixed as opposed to just piecing the entire country together for ratings. Haha.

I also noticed that when they showed clips from their previous time in Chicago, they chose to show the brothers who ended up disqualified for stealing a car. I thought that was a rather odd choice.

I was so surprised. I expected her to be considerate and kind, but, wow. I don't care if I never see her again. I knew Kristin would be adorable tonight, and she was.

Missed half the show last night. Normally it takes me 5 episodes of weirdo-auditions to become sick of that part, but my patience is wearing thin. Let's just cut to the chase and get to Hollywood and start stripping the fat!

No stand outs yet. I think the bff's who audition together are kind of amusing...in a 5th grade sort of way.
