American Idol 9: Premiere Party

Written by TVSA Team from the blog American Idol 9 Live Blog on 15 Jan 2010
Favourite this post

On Sunday (17 January 2010) American Idol 9 arrives on M-Net at 15h00 for a four-hour double whammy episode special.

To get ready for it, here's a live premiere-party blog where you can update and booze with news and opinion on what's going down while the show's on.

Sneak peak news:

As you probably know, Ellen DeGeneres replaces Paula Abdul as a judge. She doesn't appear in the premiere episode though - the show builds up to her arrival by using guest judges at the start.

Who's judging the first episode? V. aka Victoria "turned-alien" Beckham. She joins Randy, Kara and Simon on the first round of auditions that kick off in Boston.

Thanks TVSA Admin.

Eish - the second pic reminded me of this Kara woman.  I did not like her the last season, maybe this time I will warm up to her.  

Am still bitter about my Paula the Drunk not being there. sob sob sob.  Im going to miss her.  Anywhooo - lets hope all will work out for the best.

I will have to stay tuned to see how this thing with guest judges will work.

TVSA Admin - do you know if Mnet will be doing repeats?

Pleasure:). There aren't repeats unfortunately - only for the Finale - it's going to be broadcast live (probably in the early hours of the morning) and then repeated in the Sunday 17h00 slot.

Thanks again.

2 minutes to go - lets see what the americans have instore for us.  Kwa kwa kwa at keLvin having auditioned.

FK

Ok, looks like Im the only Addict online.

First audtions were in Boston and their guest judge is Posh.  I think Mrs Berkham is overdressed for this.  She is wearing a tight red dress with red platform shoes.

Simon - obviously wearing his favourite outfit - WHITE T SHIRT.

The first contestant is WHACK.

FK
17 Jan 2010 15:03

Kwa kwa kwa - the first contestant just called kara Paula.  I understand where she's coming from, I also miss her.

Dressed for opening of parliament.

Mrs Becks looks like a weird Bratz doll starring as the love interest of Chucky in a Chucky movie.    Damn scary

Tashi

Ha - a purrfect description! Not a single muscle moves in her face.

WhiteSockGirl
17 Jan 2010 15:24

The girls are kicking it fab! 

FK
17 Jan 2010 15:29

oohhh - dont mention parliament.  I wonder what will they be wearing this year

FK
17 Jan 2010 15:30

Yep, they girls are kicking ass

FK
17 Jan 2010 15:38

kwa kwa kwa @ Mary's 2 voice coaches telling her that she can sing.  When will these people stop lying?  I mean really now, her family also thinks she can sing.  I am vocally wounded but one thing for sure, I do have an ear for music and she sucked.  14 years of voice training? 

FK
17 Jan 2010 15:39

Aren't they allowed to bring their instruments this season?

FK
17 Jan 2010 15:45

wow - Kara - Jeffrey needs to go for anger management classes - he is complaining about waiting so long to be auditioned.  Telling Kara that she is being vicious.

Victoria's accent???? Eish man

Tashi
17 Jan 2010 15:51

>>Aren't they allowed to bring their instruments this season?<<

I think they can again but only in the later rounds so they hear their voices as-is in the first listen.

FK
17 Jan 2010 16:04

Ok - that makes sense.  Thanks Tashi

Tashi
17 Jan 2010 16:07

Plez :) Gimme-gimme a butt waddle like that - need to practice.

FK
17 Jan 2010 16:12

Theres a storm in my area and my dish is busy losing signal intermittently

FK
17 Jan 2010 16:16

What a voice?  I want to see Katie in top 24 for now

Tashi
17 Jan 2010 16:16

Grrr very irritating when it does that - 'spesh seeing's there's no repeats.

FK
17 Jan 2010 16:18

I know Tashi - but why did they move it Mnet? 

Tashi
17 Jan 2010 16:21

I think it's 'cos they want to give M-Net the vibe of having a big international reality show on - they haven't had one for ages. VERY probably also a ploy to get peeps to get the full DStv package with all channels - no-one's said so in so many words but it must be.

FK
17 Jan 2010 16:26

Boston peeps are boring.  Maybe wants they have auditioned all the areas it will pick up momentum.  Right now, not feeling American Idols.  Nothing juicy, no funny auditions, no strange costumes.  aaargh

FK
17 Jan 2010 16:27

wants = once

FK
17 Jan 2010 16:37

The black dude has such a clear voice.  I like him - not sure if he'll make it to be the next Idol however, a record company out there might take notice of him.

FK
17 Jan 2010 17:40

Cnglemother
17 Jan 2010 17:40

17 Jan 2010 17:41

Cnglemother
17 Jan 2010 17:44

Jah FK it was a bit insensitive and juvenile to laugh where there's disability in da mix.

Cnglemother
17 Jan 2010 17:46

She looked more vegas-showgal to me with da fishnets but the voice shocked me.

FK
17 Jan 2010 17:47
