American Idol: Dallas Auditions
It was the home of the first American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, but the question kept being asked over and over if Dallas could produce another Kelly. Well, I dunno about that, but it did produce some interesting auditions. I never would have guessed Jessica Brown was a former meth addict. But, she cleaned up her act, making her family very happy, and made it through to Hollywood.
I was both charmed and grossed out by Brandon Green. I loved that he was grossing out prima donna Ryan by showing him his torn fingernails, but seriously, dude – that was disgusting! Fortunately, he was not a total flake though and could sing – he made it to Hollywood too! I liked Zpia, not as much as Simon seemed to, but she was different. Kady was too cute doing her impersonation of Britney, but when she used her real voice, she blew Simon away. He said she was the best so far (although Randy wasn’t ready to say that and I didn’t hear Paula chime up to agree or disagree).
Now, I am all for kids saving themselves for marriage, but Bruce Dickson and his dad kinda creeped me out. The 19-year-old guy from Bastrop, Texas had never even been kissed. He had a key he wore around his neck, the key to his heart, blah, blah, blah, saving it for the woman he will love forever. That is all sappy sweet, but when I saw his dad wearing the heart the key fit into, I was thinking “Ew.” Bruce said his first kiss would be at his wedding, when he kissed his wife. Good luck on that one!
The show ended on a funny note. Renaldo, at 44, was too old to be considered for the show, but the judges decided to let him perform a song he wrote for Simon, who he called “heaven’s chosen.” With his white furry hat, silver cap, and white suit, he kept singing “I am your brother, your best friend forever” over and over to the point that it was hilarious. With Randy and Paula both swaying and dancing by him at the end, Simon predicted, “I have a horrible feeling that this is going to be a hit record.”

Creepy fingernail guy should have been sent packing. Can you imagine buying a record knowing this disgusting fact about him? I question his ability to give a good impression and have a superstar image if he would share so personal and sickening of a habit on national television.
