Rockstar: American Idol

Watching American Idol right now. It's not as interesting as it was back in Season 1 (Kelly vs Sideshow Bob!) or Season 2 (Rueben vs Clay!); heck, the only reason I watch it is because there's really nothing else at 8pm Tuesdays or Wednesdays (gotta watch something while waiting for Lost).

I've also heard that Rockstar 2: is going to be out pretty soon. It got me thinking...how would JD, Marty et al have fared if they had gone to "auditions" for AI? Here's my take:

JD: Hollywood, just because of the smarmy looks (see: Constantine), which a lot of women would find "sexy" (ugh). Decent enough singer, I suppose.
Marty: Probably out. Just doesn't fit Simon's style. Can't imagine him doing fluffy pop.
Mig: Hmm, tough one. Might be too...um...effete for Simon, although the niceness might sway Paula and Randy. Oh, and too thea-tah.
Suzie: Big notes...definitely Hollywood.
Jordis: Hollywood. She has that "It" quality, and has a good-enough voice (just don't have her sing Aerosmith). Remember, she did Star Search, so she's done something like this before.
Deanna: Her voice is great, but the boobs would be the main reason she gets to Hollywood (see: Ashley Jackson, the "Fit" model from this season)
Ty: See Mig. The mohawk may have to go, though.
Jessica: Voice not so great, but the sexy factor gets her in.
Daphna: Pretty enough...but on the fringe. Probably not.
Heather: Hmm, tough call. I'd say no, and we get to watch her flip Simon off.
Tara: Strong voice, has the look. Hollywood.
Wil: Hollywood. The looks, and apparently the voice (I think). More a solo act than band material anyway, which is why RS: INXS didn't happen.
Brandon, Dana and Neal: Might wind up in the "so-bad-they're-good" AI special

Somehow, I doubt any of them would want to do AI anyway, but it's a fun exercise to think what would've happened.

Hahahahahaha! Nice one, Roman! I think Wil is perfect for AI. When he was on ROCKSTAR, I felt he was in the wrong audition show.
