American Idol Season 6

The first audition was a man named Brandon Groves who had auditioned last season. I still remember him because he sang I shot the sheriff and the only line he sang was “I shot the sheriff.” This time he was dressed head to toe Uncle Sam style. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it through…

Then there was a girl who named herself “The Hotness.” She was actually the complete opposite, and it made me laugh at how delusional she was. And to top it off., she couldn’t even sing, and wouldn’t stop singing, even when Simon was yelling at her.

That was quite the trend today, as many contestants thought their chances of making it to Hollywood would increase if they just kept singing…and singing…and singing.

There was one contestant who I was really afraid of. He shouted DIE many times in a row with an angry face. I’m surprised the judges didn’t call security. He was scary.

My favorite contestant of the season so far was a lady named Darwin Reedy. You couldn’t help but laugh at her even though you felt bad. Her look was one of the most unusual things I’ve ever seen, and even worse, her mother looked exactly like her but with different colored hair. She talked in a monotone voice, and sang Pussycat dolls! Simon couldn’t even look at her, which I’ve noticed throughout the competition. I don’t think he likes unattractive people. It was quite the experience watching her and her mother.

There was a man who had a really wonderful voice. He had already auditioned twice before but didn’t make it, but he really blew me away this time. His name was Thomas Daniels, so watch out for him because his tone was amazing. Watching these first preliminary auditions, you don’t usually see a lot of the good people, but it’s such a treat when you hear someone who can actually sing.

You definitely see a lot of interesting talent on American Idol, including beat boxers. Blake Lewis, a 25 year old from Washington showed his beat boxing skills. He was actually very unique, and kind of reminded me of the Maroon five lead singer. He made it through to Hollywood, but only after Simon had called him obnoxious.

There was a brother and a sister who I thought were both very good. Luckily for them, they both made it through, with higher regards going to the brother. However, I thought the sister had a very amazing voice also.

One of the most impressive auditions came from a 16 year old. She sang Celine Dion, and completely rocked it.

They tend to do a lot of video montages of all the bad singers. They are actually really funny and add a lot of entertainment value to the show.
