19 Jan 07 American Idol
Are the poor souls who embarrass themselves by their obvious lack of talent and freakish appearance paid to audition for AI or do they appear solely for the chance to be on television?
Because if AI were a serious audition and not a made for television event many of these people would never see the light of day.
Some of the people are so borderline it’s hard to tell if it is a serious audition or a made for television audition. I just cringe because I know the judges comments are the type of thing people who don’t measure up hear over and over again. It’s hard for me to watch.
I still say there should be a similar competition to find the next, big-time preacher. That’s right welcome to American Preaching "Thou Shalt Not Fashion An" Idol.
Wouldn’t you love to hear the judges comments?
Contestant - (after saying "in conclusion" 5 times finally wraps up with ) " . . . as we stand and sing!"
Randy (the other one) - "Dog, what happened? I was feeling it but you left me flat. You made no reference to giving and no reference to Sunday school attendance."
Paula - (gushing and blushing) "I’m not sure I’m allowed to say anything authoritative."
Simon - (you must imagine the accent) "It was horrible. The worst sermon I’ve ever heard. The plane took off but you couldn’t land it. And what’s with that awful three piece suit? It was like listening to an angry John Travolta!"
Contestant - "Ye shall be judged, prepare thineselves." (stomps out of the room headed for the door)
Randy, Paula, Simon - "Other door."
Anyone care to front the money as a producer? Anyone care to enter?

I think I’ll sit this one out. I know that the only reason I’m still preaching after nearly ten years is the generosity of my congregation. They love me and are very forgiving. Probably moreso than Simon.
Funny, especially the Paul response! I find it amazing that every contestant, to the person, attempts to go out the wrong door! Not only are most of them not talented, they are obvious graduates Gary Larson’s “Institute for the Mentally Gifted”!
Don’t forget,
RANDY: “Dog, you got the fruit of the vine and the bread backwards. Didn’t you learn anything in that men’s training clsss?”
PAULA WITH HEAD COVERED: “Let me offer this word of prophecy. You ain’t gonna make it in preacher world.”
Peace.
Now that is priceless.
How about:
Simon – What made you think to add that 4th song before the prayer! You took a classic and made it tragic! 4 songs and a prayer, you’re killing me and the audience.
Too much!
Here’s their comments about this blog.
Randy: Yo Yo dude! You are in the dog pound on this one! Awesome!!
Paula: I just think your too sweet and funny Randy!
Simon: Atrocious, absolutely atrocious!!
