1.26.10 American Idol Episode Review – Season 9 Episode 5 – LA AuditionsThis time it was LA’s turn to try and impress Simon, Randy, Kara, and guest judges Avril Lavigne and Katy Perry. The show started off in true American Idol fashion with contestant Neil Goldstein. In his mind Goldstein already had his ticket stamped to Hollywood, as he looked into the camera with his sweaty androgynous face and proclaimed he had a 168 point IQ.
The City of Angels didn’t disappoint as the freak show just kept rolling with contestants like the Mick Jagger wannabe, wearing a pleather striped shirt. This guy was a water cleaner by day but had big dreams that ended as soon as the first note came out of his mouth. I always love it when American people suddenly get a British accent when they start singing…it cracks me up. Simon told him to stick with cleaning water and give up on signing. Now I know why the water in LA tastes so bad!
The creepiest audition of the season thus far had to go to Jason Green. He sang the song “I Touch Myself” and he even made guest judge Katy Perry feel dirty as he slinked around on the ground. Then there was the Adam Lambert wannabe who even bragged about getting props from Lambert himself. He sang the Living Color classic “Cult of Personality” and was in complete shock when Simon told him he sang like he had just gotten back from the dentist 20 minutes ago, because his mouth was only half open when he sang. It reminded me of Mary Jo Buttafuoco’s face after she got shot by Amy Fisher. I’ll definitely be watching that one on YouTube for some laughs.
In all, there were 23 golden tickets handed out in LA with countless others left behind to wonder what could have been.
