It’s not just the L.A. contestants who are delusional on American Idol

It was bound to happen. The American Idol episode the naysayers just loooooooooooove to rag about.

And the kicker is it happened during the Los Angeles auditions. If Aryeh or Bob get hold of this, I’ll never hear the end of it. *sigh*

Let me start off by mentioning the last few posts noting the Idol controversy that really wasn’t. (If you missed them, you can review them here and here.) Let’s just leave it at this: If the Idol Powers That Be were so serious about their grand “apology”, the intro of this episode wouldn’t have contained a duplicate of Steven Tyler’s “… see what hatches” quotation. And that’s all I have to say about that.

So … the L.A. Auditions. Amateur hour. Farcical. Freaks. Clowns. Weirdos. You knew they were coming. I knew they were coming. Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-boy … what a circus. You want proof?

Just before failing more miserably than even I could have imagined, contestant Victoria Garrett stated: “I’m ready to go in there and knock they (sic) socks off.” It was a wonder they didn’t all reach under the table, take their socks off and shove them in their ears to stifle the hideousness coming out Victoria’s maw. *shudder*

As if JLo’s rasta cap (above) wasn’t goofy enough, there were bizarre moments throughout the broadcast:

“I’ve never been chased by a contestant with a microphone.”
– Randy Jackson after delusional contestant Tynesha Roches’ audition

“Randy, you messed with the wrong person. We beefin’ now.
Put me on next year and maybe we can squash the beef. But for now we beefin’.”
– Delusional contestant Matt “Big Stats” Frankel

“I hear a voice … but I don’t think you’re ready for 2011, 12 or 13 of American Idol …”
– Steven Tyler

“Wow … talk about delusional people …”
– Randy Jackson

Randy, hate to break it to you, but even the three of you sitting at the judge’s table were delusional. I present my case in the video below:

Ryan Seacrest wrapped it up best: “Well … next week we’re back on track …”

Dude, I hope so.
