Tonight, weeks after I mused about door-opening ineptitude on my first AI blog post ever, we finally got a loser montage about exit mishaps...set against the musical backdrop of "Push It." Nothing I haven't said before.
Fortunately, the producers took a break from power sequences to give us some real contestants, like William and Akron, who came to the auditions lacking money but in possession of more than enough high expectations.
William -- aka "Hulk," seriously -- hit the judges with an awfully monotone version of "Amazing Grace," and after he got canned I had little hope for Akron. But he gave a surprisingly impressive first showing, even though Simon said he lacked personality.
Akron's response? An impromptu version of "Let's Get it On," which earned him Simon's approval. AI life lesson No. 43: When in doubt, bust out the Marvin Gaye.
But not everyone heeded Akron's wisdom, including Sandie, who performed an incoherent version of "Black Velvet." Maybe that's what led Seacrest to bust out his unrivaled wit and call the audition city "San An-Tone-Deaf."
Brilliant.
