I am so angry right now, I am going to blow a fuse. tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-09:15897130 babsybling 2012-02-10T02:20:43Z 2012-02-10T02:20:43Z What a waste of time tonight's show was! Not one audition in the entire hour? WTF??? I'm so mad! tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-09:15896135 Matt 2012-02-09T20:16:06Z 2012-02-09T20:16:06Z Well said. Judge with your ears, not with your eyes! tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-09:15895828 Matt 2012-02-09T16:26:13Z 2012-02-09T16:26:13Z Huge, HUGE fan of Reed, AikenforAiken! This guy personifies G-U-T-S! If he advances, you know I am going to speak about him on this week's show. tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-09:15895600 babsybling 2012-02-09T13:21:31Z 2012-02-09T13:21:31Z Loved the show, guys. Chris, I think you are a bit premature in picking Johnny Keyser for the top 3... It's too early, IMO. I totally agree with Bill that personality will be key this year. We need someone like Kelly Pickler or Taylor Hicks. For now, I'm totally bored. tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-09:15895156 Chris 2012-02-09T10:49:00Z 2012-02-09T10:49:00Z Great callout AikenForAiken - Reed Grimm is one of my favorites too from Wednesday night - love the quirkiness and the confidence, and he can SING! tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-09:15893068 mgsolocup 2012-02-09T07:59:40Z 2012-02-09T07:59:40Z People all over the idol bubble always talk about how minorities can never win anymore and that America is "racist." But seriously, when you think about it, the minorites we have had over the past few seasons have sucked. Sorry, but it's true. Would you really have wanted Jacob Lusk or Ashthon Jones to have won last season? Would you have wanted Big Mike to get further than Crystal or Lee? Allison made it to 4th place, but couldn't beat the already big fan bases of the top 3. Syesha made it all the way to 3rd, but couldn't overcome the Davids(one of them happens to be a Latino). Also, would you have really wanted to see Lil Rounds win? Anoop was inconsitent, and not as good as the top 5. Everybody was ready for Jacob Lusk to be gone. Also, Karen, Naima, and Thia were all inconsistent, so the white girls like Lauren and Haley outlasted them.<br /><br />So, I don't think the problem with minorities not winning or getting far is the viewers fault-the show just hasn't cast strong enough minorities the last few years. I will admit that I have voted for white contestants over the last few years. Not because I am racist(I'm not at all) but because the whites have been stronger IMO. Maybe this year will be different-it all depends on if the minorities are strong.<br /><br />Thoughts? tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-08:15890862 Naira 2012-02-09T03:41:09Z 2012-02-09T03:41:09Z You might want to know about this info I found about how the auditions actually work from James Durbin<br />So first you do the big open cattle call, if you get back that they bring you back two days later, then you audition for a couple of the smaller producers and if you make it past that, you go to the big wig producers, Ken Warwick, Nigel Lythgoe and Simon Fuller and then they tell you if you’re going through or not. And then it was another month wait before I got to audition before the judges. tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-08:15890694 AikenForAiken 2012-02-09T03:33:43Z 2012-02-09T03:33:43Z As a person who has listened to every podcast you guys have ever done, I can guarantee that Reed Grimm is going to a favorite for Matt.<br />Im waiting to hear the word next week Matt............GUTS! tag:www.smoresradioshow.com,2012-02-08:15889752 Chris 2012-02-08T22:33:51Z 2012-02-08T22:33:51Z For the record I hate the amount of plants on The Voice and have decided not to watch. One girl -Angel Taylor - was on the freakin VH1 Top 20 countdown last year, and was one of their featured You Oughta Know artists... UGH!!!!!!
