So I thought guest judges' lack of ethos reached a new low with Jewel's Alaskan upbringing. That was, of course, until I saw tonight's cameo...face lift-ridden Carol, who in addition to allegedly writing a whole bunch of songs, was once married to Burt Bacharach.
She was also a likely indicator of how Paula will look on Season 11. Just a thought.
NY is where AI found last season's Constantine, and tonight's auditions continued with an equally Greek, yet significantly less talented female hopeful who was quickly canned by the judges. But let's just say her decision to sing Toto's "Africa" hardly went unnoticed.
We also got Ashanti, who was returning to the competition after prior AI failures. She got the thumbs-down once again, but delivered a pricelessly emotional "what were you thinking?" monologue after her booting. And who says untrained, painfully exaggerated acting isn't vital to AI stardom?
Four words: From Justin to Kelly.
But the show's highlight so far has without a doubt been best friends Amanda and Antonella, who inevitably generated all sorts of fantasies among a fanbase previously resigned to Frenchie Davis dreams. A blond and a brunette, they got their own pre-audition segment showcasing their love of shopping and hanging out at the beach.
Blame it on advanced familiarity with beach volleyball, but both girls made it through to Hollywood. Not, of course, without the inevitable drama. In spite of her vocal training -- and advantage she held over her friend -- the blond's audition was the less stellar of the two.
The brunette's attempts to stand up for her friend earned a "when someone's down, kick them" from Simon, a comment she quickly refuted.
We'll see what happens when we get to Hollywood, though. Look at what happened to Seacrest and Dunkleman.
