Idol auditions – Denver

Had to record and watch last night’s episode today. Any highlights? Bikini boy Ty Hemmerling was funny and odd all at the same time, but was it a set-up or was this guy real? In case you missed it, a raw YouTube version is below.

Best line of the night goes to Kara on her way out of watching bikini boy: “Don’t move your hips like that, honey. It’s not a good look.”

A couple other tidbits about the Denver auditions:
- Simon once again says “infectious” during an audition. I always thought that was Paula’s word to use. In this episode, he used it on 16-year-old Haeley Vaughn, the girl from Fort Collins, Colo., who was born a 2-pound baby.
- Nicci Nix, 22, of Florence, Italy, was an interesting audition. Can she be an AMERICAN Idol? Just a thought.
- 16-year-old Tori Kelley, of California, made some noise, but her sister had to have helped with drawings of all the judges. That was a cute segment, although it was funny when Simon said Tori looked like a “human orange” in her outfit.
- Victoria Beckham proved once again that she does a great job as judge. Could she replace Simon on “Idol” next season? Maybe she’ll wind up on Simon’s “X Factor.” Either way would be fine with me. I just wish she would put on some weight … not much … 5-10 pounds… I’m afraid she might blow away!
- Kara’s compassion for some of those auditioning is touching. And really, deep down inside, you can see that Simon is a softy, especially when little kids come in to visit him. I like these judges … at least for now!
