Did American Idol Recycle The Tan Girl?
January 17, 2006 11:27 PM by Joe Blackmon
Over 10,000 people showed up in the rain in Chicago to audition for American Idol 5. As usual, many of the more unusual contestants made it on camera. There was the guy wearing a Statue of Liberty costume that the judges stopped and sent away before he finished singing his first verse. There was the deputy who butchered “I Shot the Sheriff.” There was the guy in Assyrian folklore clothes, singing a song that none of the judges could understand. There was the girl with the overdone tan. Then, there was the girl with the overdone tan again. What?
Yes, the first time Crystal Parizanski showed up during the auditions, she was wearing a pink shirt, a black jacket, and contestant number 4358. Simon Cowell asked her about her suntan, and she said that she didn’t think that was of main importance. Simon replied “it’s the most strange look make-up tan I’ve ever seen in my life”. Crystal then sang “And I’m Telling You” by Jennifer Holliday.
After the song, Crystal’s mom came in, and Simon said “I wondered where she got her inspiration from, now I know.” Simon also said “absolutely no” in regards to going through to Hollywood. Crystal complained that she didn’t even get to finish the song, and Paula explained “we don’t usually let people finish a song.”
At the end of the show, several clips are shown of contestants singing “Lady Marmalade.” Some contestants are shown again, such as Stuart Benyamin, the guy in the Assyrian folklore clothes. Crystal also shows up again, wearing the same black jacket and the same contestant number 4358, but she has on a different shirt. While these could be clips of the contestants in earlier rounds of the audition, Crystal’s clip also includes comments from Simon, Paula, and Randy. Simon Cowell tells Crystal “that was the worst we’ve had in Chicago.”
So did Crystal get to audition twice in front of Simon, Paula, and Randy? Or did she sing multiple songs in front of the judges? It would seem unlikely since her earlier exchange with Paula seemed to indicate that she didn’t even get to finish one song in front of the judges. Was the end segment the result of splicing earlier audition footage with miscellaneous feedback from the judges?

Hmmm, do you think? Who woulda thought, they splice together footage???? Naaaaaa it couldn’t be! Yes, I am being sarcastic..

Well, duh and it’s not the first time they’ve done it. If you get far enough to audition for the producers, it is held in the same room as the audtions for the judges thus we get to see the same people in different clothes singing different songs in the same setting. Also, notice that Simon’s comments showed only the judges, not Crystal. It’s just like the commercial they show of the rock singer where they all appear to say “Yes” at the same time. We saw them do the unanimous “Yes” last night for the first set of twins, not the rocker.

I really liked that blond girl that sings country songs and slops hogs. I say she is going to be the next American Idol.
Go Carrie Go!

LOL this is a future Paris Hilton and yes that’s bad. Well, what do you expect…she got it from her mom. And no thanks, we don’t need country singers. A few people like country music(no offense). Carrie is a very talented singer but she lacks of intelligence. She isn’t innocent. She even flirted with Anthony Federov in the middle of a duet! And he has a gf! So c’mon! Don’t let her fool you.

Anthony doesn’t have a g/f anymore.

“Anthony doesn’t have a g/f anymore.”
No wonder…

they ususally invite the worst of them back to sing a certain song they have picked for each show. then they splice them all together to create a montage of the worst ones, all singing the same song. they do it in every episode, with a different song each time.

Quite frankly, I don’t remember the double-up

I say Taylor Hicks he is original and he can sing anything. Carrie has a nice voice,but she can’t sing everything and no one can be so lame.

Ok, so we can’t attack other posters, but you can attack Carrie for who she is? That’s not fair. She does what she darn well feels like and no one has the authority to blast her!
