If not, you should definitely check it out. It's truly unbelievable!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14412004697688438846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417435105671173712.post-7237553992981614212009-01-14T13:54:00.000-06:002009-01-14T13:54:00.000-06:00I saw a fair amount of the show last night as well, though I admittedly had my back to the TV most of the time, more so that I could do some work on my computer rather than to try and appreciate the pure tonal quality of the contestants without any visual distractions. Here are my notes:<BR/><BR/>- That deep voice guy was totally faking it. His face contorted in pain while singing. Did you notice that he was unable to hit any notes lower than his speaking voice? He claimed that he just woke up one day at age 14 and his voice had gotten that deep. I think he woke up one day at age 14 and remembered that a cute girl had told him the day before that she likes deep voices. Plus he probably realized that singing in a freakishly infrasonic vibrato would be his only chance of getting on TV. But as I mentioned, I was barely paying attention to the show. Ahem.<BR/><BR/>- Paula Abdul and the new chick are going to kiss on the air. The timing will depend on the ratings, so it will happen if their numbers start to flag during the live competition.<BR/><BR/>- The bikini girl wasn't nearly as attractive as she thought she was, but her act worked. Thankfully, this sort of thing never happens in real life.<BR/><BR/>- What's the deal with the guys who sing like a Smurf with bronchitis (I mean bronchismurf)?<BR/><BR/>- This could be the year when Cowell actually beats a contestant to death. Start your pools now, people.PhilipDyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12537593031363263383noreply@blogger.com
