Countdown to American Idol: Seattle Lunatic Edition…

posted by on January 17 at 19:30 PM

They’re hyping the hell out of it on Q13: Tonight brings part two of American Idol’s season premiere, featuring the famously freaktastic auditions from Seattle.

This part of American Idol—covering the nationwide, open-call auditions that kick off each season—is all about horrible freakage, so the only question is what kind of freaks will reign in Seattle?

Humorless freaks, like last night’s singing hippie stick-juggler?

Hideous trainwreck freaks, like last night’s young woman who spent a minute and a half trying to remember the lyrics and melody to one 15-second stretch of Prince’s “Kiss”?

Superstar freaks, like William Hung?

Place your bets. My money’s on an even split of Burning Man-styled freakazoids and mildly delusional dopes with marginal talent and a surplus of ‘if i can dream it, i can do it’ spunk. And…perhaps ONE GLORIOUS STAR?

See you back here in 30 minutes…
