Who got voted off American Idol 2011 Season 10

Well hello there, everyone!  It’s another day of American Idol auditions, and you know what? I gotta stop the introductory monologue here because I gotta say…Saturday night I went and sang karaoke with some friends.  After every song, no kidding, the crowd would go into a rendition of “Pants on the Ground”.  That is how much General Larry Platt is affecting us as a country.  That even Southern hicks like me know who this guy is…and can you say that about Kris Allen?  And will you be able to say that about whoever wins this year? Gen. Platt: you have already won. I would be asking where your shiny Ford car is.

So, we’re in LA tonight!  And hopefully that will mean we will get some real crazies.  So that means we get Avril Lavigne in a funny cat-eared jacket.  And another thing…can we never have any American guest judges on American Idol? Avril, Shania, Posh….meh.  I’m just sayin’.

First up we have this lovely  geeky guy named Neil Goldstein.  Why do I feel like I know this guy?  I can already tell that Avril is going to be a meanie, because she is totally smirking through poor Neil’s audition.  He tried to bully them into a golden ticket, but they weren’t having it. Oh well Neil, I guess they just don’t see it.

Jim Ranger’s entire family loves plaid.  He’s a worship pastor and wrote an original song for the audition.  He sounds very Gokey-esque, and Avril doesn’t say yes, but I think she says no because she actually knows how life is on the road and doesn’t want to upset his wholesome family life.  Perhaps Avril is wiser than I would give her credit?

Then there’s Damien, another nerdy guy who’s addicted to martial arts.  And might I say, his “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” is AWESOME.  But not awesome enough to get him into Hollywood.

Mary Powers is kind of a rocker chick with pretty blue eyes.  She sings…surprise…Pat Benatar, and an even bigger surprise, Avril Lavigne likes her!

Next up are a whole bunch of peeps with Adam Lambert hair, and they lead into a guy who was like Adam’s biggest fan.  He sounded like Lambert, too, if Lambert had had some of those braces that wire your mouth shut and make you sip everything from a straw.  He gets laughed out of the room, and Avril has officially melted a little spot of my cold evil heart.

So, the show is half-over, and we’ve gotten…two tickets? And neither of them were that good!  Avril’s been replaced by Katy Perry, who cops to being brutally honest.  And I loved the fact that she called out the judges for arriving to the auditions via helicopter!  I think I am going to like Katy. A lot.

After some awful guy with a bad British singing accent, we meet Andrew Garcia, whose parents were in gangs.  He’s a hipster-LA-type.  He gives a good rendition of “Sunday Morning”, and the judges loved it.  I liked it, too.  At least he doesn’t look totally cookie-cutter, and his voice was nice…I can’t wait to hear more from Andrew!

Tasha Layton is a personal assistant by day and a minister by night.  She had a strong rendition of  “Baby Baby Baby” by Joss Stone and was the first girl of the second day to be put through.

And then there was Jason Greene, who was schmoozing and hoping that sex would sell…a little too literally, I think.  After making Katy feel dirty (no easy feat), he was given the boot.  I found him entertaining, though…pretty much like all these LA hacks!

Katy and Kara aren’t getting along. Did I mention that I heart Katy?  Chris Golightly is the final contestant of the night. He grew up in a group home, but even sadder, he has kinky blond Justin Timberlake hair! I found his audition tepid at best, and Simon and Katy agreed with me.  Nonetheless, he was through to Hollywood, and we get to see a few quick golden tickets and they’re out the door.  Overall, I wasn’t really impressed. LA should have a vast menagerie of talent, but Andrew Garcia was the only one I really saw that I wouldn’t mind seeing again. What did you think of tonight’s episode?
