Something in the rainwater at the Seattle Idol auditions
It is looking like Seattle will be famous for the most horrendous Idol singers than any of the best ones. When even Ms. Nice Paula Abdul complains about the lack of talent, you know it can’t be a good sign.
“I think it must be something in the rainwater,” offered Randy Jackson, during a break in auditions which continue today at a downtown hotel.
“They are astoundingly awful,” said Paula Abdul, proving her own Pollyanna stereotype is a bit overblown.
After two hours of auditions, the judges had let through three of the first 12 would-be stars. But it sounds like the terrible ones — “Idol’s” signature ploy is allowing the very worst to perform for the judges — will make great TV.
“Wild. Insane. Maybe depressed,” suggested Jackson, to explain the lack of talent seen so far.
Seattle Times has all the goodness, including how the bad singers want to deport Mr. Nasty himself, Simon Cowell.

I wasn’t close enough to any of the audition sites this year. They haven’t had a chick rocker yet, I think the show needs a girl power version of Bo Bice!
