2.9.2010 American Idol Episode Review Season 9 Episode 9
Welcome to Hollywood…Finally! After weeks of watching some of the worst performers this world has to offer American Idol has made it to the Hollywood round where things start to get serious. We also got our first glimpse of new judge Ellen Degeneres. I hate to say, since I’m not a fan of Ellen, but she seemed very comfortable in her role as American Idol judge and did a respectable job.
A total of 181 hopefuls would be split into two groups and grace the stage of the famous Kodak Theater to perform for the judges. Day one saw many colorful contestants sent packing including the strangely over confident Skiboski. Ellen got a lot of laughs when she compared his performance to a stalking tiger behind a cage. Skiboski wasn’t having any of it and argued his way off the stage before getting axed.
One of the best auditions of the day was Andrew from California. Andrew is the guy who has the father that was involved in the Compton, California gang scene and now has a family of his own. He sang his own rendition of Paula Abdul’s song Straight Up and wowed the judges. They might as well hand him over the record contract now after making Straight Up sound like a good song. Some of the other people who impressed were country blues singer Casey James, who was previously asked to take his shirt off. He sounded like a seasoned pro as he sang a country song with his guitar.
Other notables who did not make it through were Ace Young look-a-like and cancer survivor Justin Williams, the country girl who had never been on a plane before Vanessa Wolfe, Barney kid turned dominatrix Erica Rhodes, and the big Italian guy Amedeo DiRocco. In all there were 96 people who made the cut.
