The Hollywood rounds of ‘American Idol‘ have begun, and a whopping 68 contestants were sent home on the first day. The judges sifted through tons of talent, dashing dreams, breaking hearts and catering to possible future stars. It’s a hard shill being an ‘Idol’ judge, especially when you watch contestant Symone Black fall off the stage right in front of your face.
As Hollywood Week continued, three ‘Idol’ hopefuls made their way in front of the judges to prove their singing chops.
A cliffhanger on a reality talent show? Is that even possible? Oh yeah. Since the ‘American Idol‘ Hollywood rounds are taped and not live, the show’s producers have the ability to edit as they see fit, so tonight’s episode ended with singer Symone Zaire Black, 16, falling off the stage and obviously hurt in the tumble.
We have to question the decision to leave the viewers in such a concerned state over Symone’s fate. A fall such as hers is serious stuff and we’re a bit unsettled at having witnessed it and not knowing how she is doing.
One dream was further realized and another crushed this evening on ‘American Idol‘ during Hollywood Week.
The stakes are high in Hollywood Round 1 this week as some wannabe stars are hitting their marks and others are just hitting strings of wrong notes. After we enjoyed a line of epic foibles (like one girl begging in a high squeak, “Can I just sing one more note? Just one more?” … ), Steven Tyler went backstage to offer a bit of a pep talk to the nervous contestants, urging that he wanted to see some snapping, yelling and “freaking out.”
It’s Hollywood time.

‘Glee‘ definitely needed more bad guys on the show to make it more interesting, and frankly, Grant Gustin‘s Sebastian character is the one we all love to hate. It’s just too bad this guy is so freakin’ adorable.
Cory Monteith has come a long way since his bad boy days, but on Sunday morning the ‘Glee‘ star was busted by the police for partying too loudly.
