American Idol Bikini Girl
Ok so the new season of American Idol kicked off its 2 hour season premiere last night just about the same way every other season starts. There were the good ones, the bad ones, and of course plenty of lame jokes by Ryan Seacrest.
After two hours of watching, the only thing that really stood out to me besides the blonde girl from Kentucky (who has one the most smokiest and nicest voices I have ever heard) was ” The Bikini Girl”. I have no clue what this chick’s real name is, as all I remember is my mouth dropping open that someone would actually come to audition for a singing competition in a skimpy bikini.
Of course right away I figured that she wasn’t gonna sing worth a damn. In my opinion, anyone who shows up dressed like that is trying to show off her better assets to make up for the lack of singing skills. Surprisingly though, bikini girl wasn’t half bad. She was definitely far better than I would have expected. The most entertaining part though, was the new and colorful judge Kara Dioguardi and her classic reaction.
It was apparent that Kara didn’t like the girl, and just as me, thought she had no business wearing what she did to a singing competition. Kara not only critiqued her choice of clothing, but also showed up her singing by belting out said tune by herself. It makes me wonder why Kara never made an album of her own, because damn that lady can saanngggg…
Sadly as much as I have tried to find a copy of the audition on Youtube, it keeps getting taken down for some sort of copyright violation. Maybe they will post in the actual site, but until then, if anyone else saw this little tidbit, I would love to hear your thoughts.
Hi I just wanted to say thanks for your comment and if you check out my site I have put a link to your site and a short message of thanks.
I had much the same reaction as you to the new Idol. I’m still holding out judgement for the new judge. I think she is knowlegeable, but it doesn’t seem to keep her from being catty!
I was speechless to say the least when this girl walked in like that. She did at least get her 15 minutes of fame because I don’t look for her to make it too far in this season. No matter how old my daughter is, I would kick her tail if she ever showed up to American Idol dressed like that. She did give us something to talk about though.
Sadly to say, I did not watch the whole episode of American Idol, but nevertheless I caught a brief clip of the Bikini Girl on AOL…they had it as one of the Top 5 TV moments of the day.
As much as I like seeing beautiful girls in bathing attire, I must say that Kara was totally justified in critiquing Bikini Girl for her outfit (a term I use, er, loosely). If AI were about “America’s Next Hawaiian Tropic Model” that bikini would have been acceptable, but it’s about musical talent, not blatant sex appeal.
