'Our Take' On:
American Idol
01-22-08
San Diego!
Tina and I remember when American Idol came to town for auditions... It was during the 2007 SDCC Comic Con convention in July.
While we were having fun in the air conditioned convention center, thousands of other people from ages 16 - 28 were officially trying out for the TV show.
There were 2 days of auditions, only a few of them were aired for the show Tuesday night.
Here are our thoughts on just a few:
Tetiana Ostapowych, Venice CA. 3 yes' from judges, just so-so for me.
Perrie Cataldo, Phoenix AZ, single dad, 3 yes', Tina didn't like it.
Michael Johns, LA CA, originally form Australia. Tina says he looks and sounds good.
Valerie Reyes, Riverside CA. Me-She looked great but bad audition. Tina says horrible!
Samantha Musa, Baldwin Park CA. See video to the left. Tina says good audition.
2nd Day Auditions:
Blake Boshnack, Long Beach NY. Was the Statue of Liberty singer in Season 5. This is his 11th audition... wonder if he'll get the hint???
Sarah Long, San Diego CA, Randy compared her to William Hung...
Carly Smithson, originally from Ireland, San Diego Ca.
Tina wants to know if this is 'American Idol', why are there so many not from America? Carly had won a Golden Ticket before but her visa expired and she had to leave the country...
There are several other 'Idol' Shows in the world...
End results: 31 from San Diego get the Golden Ticket To Hollywood!
Wednesday Night 01-23-08 the show auditions in South Carolina!
Thanks for reading our pop culture - comics - comic book blog post!
