American Idol: NYC and San Juan, Puerto Rico Auditions
The last of the American Idol auditions and we saw a familiar face. Alexis “Take It! Take It!” Cohen, the girl that kept flipping off the camera last year was back. But, it was a newer, kinder Alexis. Well, at least for a while. When Simon told her she had gotten worse, of course, she flipped him off. He howled with laughter!
Those making it were Jorge Nunez (who seemed more comfortable singing in Spanish, which could prove interesting), Melinda Camille (who wanted to uplift humanity), Jackie Tohn (Paula called her “unpredictable and surprising”), Ashley Hollister, Kenny Hoffpauer, Kendall Beard, Monique Garcia Torres (although she barely made it – Simon broke the tie), and Patricia Lewis Roman (who also barely made it). And then, there was Nick Mitchell aka Norman Gentle. Not as horrible as you might think, but far from good, he was hilarious. When Simon told him he was bad, he said he was hurt. Simon replied with “I thought you would quite like that.” Norman Gentle had the best comeback line ever when he said “The way you like it with Seacrest.” Again, Simon howled with laughter. Kara was thoroughly entertained and even Randy liked him, so off he goes to Hollywood.
Not making it were a bunch of people who simply kill me. They refuse to believe the judges when they are told they are bad and vow to keep trying. Well, good luck to ya is all I can say. At least Adeola Adegoke got her bank teller job back when Simon called her boss.
Next week is Hollywood!
