Teaser auditions from Nashville for Thursday’s episode
A crowd of about 10,000 people wraps around the Bridgestone Arena as contestants wait in line early Thursday morning, July 15, 2010 to sign up for the American Idol 10th season auditions that will take place on Saturday in Nashville, Tenn. (AP Photo/Christopher Berkey)
Nashville auditions are set for Thursday from 8 to 9 p.m.
Fox sent us some Nashville teasers this afternoon. Enjoy!
Here’s a dude doing “Happy Birthday” in Italian. Don’t ask:
You probably won’t a kick out of this one:
This gal doesn’t have quite the look but she isn’t that bad vocally:
And this is a rarity: a duet!

More teasers are good, but I hope Idol isn’t getting desperate.

They’ve been teasing us for months, what with all the “who will be the new judges?” stuff.

The Happy Birthday in Italian guy must have worked for Macaroni Grill…both my kids had to learn it when they were waiters there.

Int, I keep telling you–go back to some of the archives and read a bit. It won’t take you long to get to know a lot about all of us. We talk family and dogs and cats and I don’t know what all around here, and we share a lot of what goes on in our lives this way. It will catch you up!
And, Mercedes, unfortunately Lawrence Beaman lost out to a hick “singer” with a guitar who worked as a chicken catcher. The runner-up to him was a supremely talented opera soprano. I, for one, was sick about Beaman and sick about the winner that year, too.

I don’t think I could go back through the archives… that’s years and years of daily posts. Most of which don’t really say anything, like this post for instance.

Of course… Jackie Evancho lost to a less talented sinner as well. (Though he was so much more talented than Skinner.)

@Rickster – are you referring to JLo’s husband, Marc Anthony as the chicken catcher. I agree he looks like one.

Wait, you are bemoaning the defeat of someone on a non-American-Idol show, ignoring last seasons results? Not just the last guy either, but the whole thing. I mean the fact that the dictator of North Korea was in the top 10 tells you how wrong last season went.

Yes, Int. He worked for one of those chicken companies that go and catch the chickens out of the growers’ chicken houses when it is time to take them to market. He was a real chicken catcher.

Interesting: Thank you for wanting to know about Memory’s name. Glad that Deirdre filled you in. She did some boiled chicken breast earlier, so that is very good. Also, if you hear any of us talking about Carla, she is my granddaughter that made it through on AI last season but had to drop out due to a high risk pregnancy. So her name just may be dropped here.
Deirdre: Glad that your Maggie is doing much better and I hope that she will continue.
As usual, I will be taking notes tonight, so I won’t be posting until in the morning. Hopefully, we will hear some more talent.
Rickster: if your grandson makes his appearance tonight, please be sure to let us know, as I know you will. We are excited for you.

For all you Big Ben haters from the last thread:
In the Colorado case, the “victim” turned out to be a whacko who decided to cry rape later and was discredited.
In the Milledgeville case, I perfectly understand your whole guilty until proven innocent attitude! Not! If the prosecutor thought a crime had been committed and had the evidence to prove it, he should have brought the case. That’s his job. The fact that he did not tells me that things didn’t go down quite as reported OR the prosecutor didn’t have the balls to try a case he might lose. …And that speaks more to his (the D.A.’s) character!
Deirdre
January 26th, 2011

The only reason I heard that the prosecutor didn’t bring it to court was a he said/she said situation. The authorities had no doubt that the girl was telling the truth but couldn’t prove it in court. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen……doesn’t mean that Big Ben didn’t go to Milledgeville trolling for college girls.

Highlander, let me give you the facts: the future victim, 18, was falling down drunk and she was hustled into the men’s room by Roethweiler’s goons. Her girlfriends tried to go in and get her but the goons prevented it.
Happy? PS: I also know the DA, Fred Bright, and he was too politically savvy to fight a battle he couldn’t win but he was disgusted with the situation, I can guarantee you.
I’m surprised to hear that kind of comment from you.

The young lady also said she did not want to pursue the case because the media attention had become intrusive. She emphasized that a sexual assault did take place but her life was in turmoil because of her accusation.

I think a better analogy in the last thread may have been the Salem Witchcraft Trials, or for that matter any witch hunt.

“the media attention had become intrusive”
And that is what is wrong with this whole situation. Maybe if people, most of the people involved, cared for someone other than just themselves, the situtation could have had a different ending. Or at the very least the next situation could have been prevented (if there is one).

Rosita, the system is not perfect, but it is the way that it is for a reason, to protect the innocent. I’m not saying he is innocent, I’m not saying that he isn’t an idiot, I’m not saying that anything he did was right in any way, shape, or form. However, if there wasn’t enough evidence that a crime had been committed, is it really right to burn someone at the stake… or ship him off to a camp without a trial, if we want to use a prior analogy? Our system works because even the disgusting monsters among us are afforded certain rights.
It doesn’t work the way we want it all the time, but then there are also people who would like to see it not work even for the innocent. In my opinion it’s far better to protect the innocent and let a few of the guilty slip through than to go with the alternative.

Basically there’s no proof. I think the guy is a king sized azzh*le for even going after a college girl. He was also suspended by the NFL for his behavior. Whatever happened or didn’t happen, he shouldn’t have been there in the first place. He was looking for easy pickings and he even had an off-duty cop(all googoo eyed over the big star) helping him troll. The cop at least admits to that much

Well, I used to hang out with Doug Williams once upon a time. You may recall that he was Redskins’ QB the year they got the rings, and he was a righteous dude. I think he’s head coach at Grambling now.
I agree in general about QBs, Bradshaw and Staubach and MAYBE Drew Brees excepted.
