Past seasons of AI had a much better mix of good audition/bad audition footage. Also, bad auditions used to just be bad singers. Last season was a low point, I think, in terms of just picking out truly disturbed people (or those who were not physically attractive - bush baby and the girl with the floor length hair) and inviting America to make fun of them. Not ok. I will howl about the ghetto, wanna be diva who goes off on a cursing rampage when she doesn't make it through because at least she has all of her faculties about her and is just a little delusional about her "talent". But when you ask me to mock a former Special Olympian, you have crossed the line.

Aww. So cute, all of them. I did not even remember Ashley. And my Chuy. Still stings.

What in the world is Cat wearing?

Cat looks like one of those dolls with the crochet skirt that you put over a roll of toilet paper. Not a good look on anybody.

Yay, Paula! Oh if only they could get her to choreograph . . . a little Straight Up maybe?

I did enjoy that dance. Good choice, Mary. (Despite Lauren's presence)

ETA: Oh, a little damage control. And my goodness, Shane is a wee man!

Hip hop clogger! Good times, good times. I hope he tries out again.

If we must have filler, this is better than most.
