How can you find out who all of the people are that will be moving forward from the Los Angeles auditions tonight?

Katy Perry was very unlikable this evening on the broadcast of American Idol. I liked her before the episode and she showed a very different side of her that I was not impressed with at all. She actually made me lose interest in the entire show this evening.
KJ From Los Angeles

Please tell Katie Perry to go sit down. She was a guest judge and was rude. She talked more smack to Kara but when she rejected would be contestants she sheepishly looked down and not at the eyes of the person she sad “no” to. Passive aggressive gets an F.

@KJ – Seriously, Kara was smothering Katy Perry. And Katy was only coming off as rude because Kara kept antagonizing her. Kara was really childish. She even made fun of Katy Perry. Her rendition of “I Kissed a Girl” where she replced the word girl, with dog, was completely innapropriate. At least Katy stood her ground with Kara.

And you know what? She hasn’t been judging talent as long as the others have. Her success is relatively new. So she was passive aggressive with dealing with the rejected auditioners. Big deal. She hasn’t developed the thick skin that the other judges have. I know I wouldn’t be able to basically tell someone in so many words that they suck. Especially looking them in the eyes while doing it. That’s the kind of thing that takes building up a tolerance to, over a certain amount of years.

tonight pissed me off. Avril lavigne is giving out no’s to people who can sing better than her…i can’t take her seriously at all. Her music is godaweful and i have no respect for her. Katy perry is unprofessional, classless and I was hoping you guys would actually have respectable artists. Katy perry’s music is godaweful as well and she can’t judge either. I can’t take this show seriously when you add stupid bitches like these on here. Entertainment purposes are fine but when there’s meaningless putdowns and humiliation and no constructive criticism telling contestants what to work on to go with that..it’s just a waste of time watching. all i see is a bunch of unintelligent people making fun of hopefuls and crappy artists getting into cat fights. it reminds me of typical trash reality tv. seriously, katy perry and avril lavigne? You can do better..i hate both of them. I’m done. It was a godaweful episode
Alicia

whoever is defending katy perry needs to realize they are defending one of the most immature classless music artists around and honestly, she’s not very talented. she was making bitchy remarks to that other woman judge and she wasn’t even talking to Katy Perry. it’s all about getting attention and starting drama, i’m not surprised on katys part at all. just look at her career and the shit she sings…not a serious artist. neither is avril.

Watched the show tonight from the Rose Bowl. Idol seems to be falling on hard times with the guest judges it chooses (Avril and Katy). What total jerks they both were! Avril (in her chosen and ridiculous “getup”) acted like a 10-year old playground bully as she laughed out loud at nervous and untalented contestants and passed personal judgment (none of her business) on some contestants (the preacher with children). Katy, in an outfit apparently promoting her own cause, was just plain rude and hateful to everyone, including her fellow judges (Kara). Neither one added anything to the show and Katy, especially, could not have been more hateful, contentious, snide, and demeaning to the contestants, all the while bragging about not being afraid to “speak her mind” (which, as it turns out, wasn’t much to brag about). As in past shows, not all of the contestants are talented, but none deserved the insults and demeaning comments from Avril or Katy, both of whom appear to think much of themselves for no apparent reason. Surely you have better choices to pick from for guest judges? I know Idol can do much better.
katie

i think damian from 5 should be an actor someone pls send him in the right direction!!! i would look forward to his movies and stand up!!! PLEASE!!!
the Nood

I agree about avril and katy being rude. Avril was rude and immature, plain and simple. As for Katy, it was a bit more than just ‘saying it how she sees it’. If you are a guest judge, hey, lets be honest, a guest anywhere, you keep a civil tongue in your head towards your hosts. Then if and when you come back you may feel it’s okay to push the envelope a bit. I disliked both of these girls before, even more so now.
Aaron

I agree with the comments about the guest judges. Avril was mean, stuck up and looked stupid with that hood on the whole time. She acted immature and I hope that she is never a guest judge again, if she is, that is an episode that I will not watch. American Idol is slipping, it just doesn’t seem the same without Paula, I don’t think that the whole guest judge thing is working out or will work in the future.
denise

hope the show wont go down this road with the childish brat avil… i think she 24 years old going on 12
Mikey

@Alicia – Wow. Jealous abit much? Listen, Katy had Kara’s insessent NAGGING in her ear the enitre day. And Kara was directing all of her comments at Katy. Obviously you weren’t watching the same show as I was. I usually don’t find Kara annoying, but yesterday she was BAD. And Katy was honest. How bout’ for a change, you start berating Simon for being a very rude and arrogant individual. At times he seems just as immature as anyone else.

Like I said, Katy wasn’t rude to any of the auditioners, just to Kara. And Kara deserved it for being a complete and total BIOTCH to Katy. Katy obviously just wanted to put in her 2 cents and apparently Kara was not thrilled by what those 2 cents were. BOO FRIGGIN’ HOO.

Katy’s music is better than most of the trash out on the shelves today. At least she can sing. Obviously you’ve not listened to the rest of her album, because it’s far better than just her first single.
Patricia

I watched the show last night and agree with all those who think that Katy and Avril were not suitable judges. They were insulting and offered no constructive criticism.
Pro and Contra

Since when are contestants judged for their have or have not families?? WTF !!!!
Kara and the silly girl with the devil horns need to go… fast!!!!

Hi,
3 things:
1 – Avril was AWFUL. She was so immature, she laughed at the very 1st guest, she’s looking down on the contestants, i was very unimpressed with her, she looked and acted like a KID. She too young to be in that role.
2 – the Katy and Kara exchange, really uncalled for – stupid really.
3 – I don’t like the way any of the judges laughs at the contestants. Sure, funny stuff, believe you me…BUT…the contestants are there for their ONE opportunity, nervous, scared, some of them that’s all they got and for the judges to laugh?..extremely disrespectful!!! Think their esteem was low walking in there? Guess how the PROFESSIONAL JUDGES/’RICH’ made them feel when they walked out.”I” can laugh, I’m home watching it.

LAST NIGHT WAS NOT THE BEST IDOL AUDITIONS THAT I HAVE SEEN BUT I REALLY LIKED ANDREW GARCIA AND CHRIS GOLIGHTLY…..THEY HAD SOMETHING….I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT…..
THIS MORNING ON THE INTERNET I WATCHED THE AUDITIONS OF THE WINNERS OF AI AND THE TEAM OF RANDY, PAULA AND SIMON WERE JUST GREAT..I KNOW PAULA WAS ANNOYING AT TIMES BUT SHE HAD AN EAR FOR GOOD SINGERS….IF YOU GET A CHANCE WATCH THE AUDITIONS….VERY INTERESTING….

I did not know that to be one of the 24 contestants you had to have a sad story, I onestly thought the competition was about talent. Samuel Larsen is one of the contestants who got a golden ticket, has talent, has looks and a good hert. and we did’nt eve saw him on the show last night. What is the matter are you looking for talent or are you not. Because I tell you, you are crashing lots of dreas of real talents.
Nikki

I did not agree with Avril trying to decide for the preacher if he should have a singing career or not. I understand her concern but it was not her place.
I LOVED Katy Perry…she kept it real without getting ugly which is something I think Kara should learn how to do. She stood her ground with Kara and often expressed my sentiments…especially when she made the comment about it not being a Lifetime movie…I was just thinking along the same lines so it was refreshing to hear that I wasn’t the only one with that thought.
I must say I miss Paula. I find Kara to be irritating with a bit too much attitude at times…last night she came across as a child starved for attention. I think she should probably speak less and listen more. These are things that can be worked on and I hope she takes it as constructive criticism and chooses to rise to the occaision rather than get mad and choose to continue to give the impression she has been giving…which is unfavorable.
tammy

what is up with the devil horns on Avrile? Really. She should not of been allowed to wear those on national television.
Terri

Avril was definitely up past her bedtime! She was very immature and only cared about her genre of music….Also, Katie was very rude to the other judges, especially Kara. The whole point of being a judge is to focus on the person that is auditioning and critique their performance, not engaging in cloddish, unentertaining behavior. (Avril and Katie, you might need to pick up a dictionary).
Krista Smith

I just watched the Los Angeles auditions and I have got to say that Avril Levine and Katy Perry were the absolute worst guest judges American Idol has ever had.

I as well as my guys appeared to be following the good items located on your website while all of a sudden I got an awful suspicion I had not thanked the site owner for those secrets. Most of the women are already certainly passionate to read through all of them and have in effect absolutely been loving those things. Thanks for genuinely very kind and also for using this form of awesome ideas millions of individuals are really desirous to know about. My personal honest apologies for not saying thanks to earlier.
