What I'd Like, But What I Will (Vol. 2)

Here we are going into Week 3 of the auditions and I'm posting my second volume of predictions and wishes. This may become a regular thing, or it may not, but for now here we go again!

What I'd Like

1. In a break from tradition, typical of this sixth season of A.I., Randy elects not to mention his ties to the south as he emerges from his limousine.

2. Not a single person shown on camera mentions anything like:

• I'm unique.
• I can sing and (dance/act/write/juggle/predict future events).
• I'm, like, Paula's biggest fan. I think I love her. (And I hope she'll love me!)
• I'm so @#%! talented that those @#%! judges will see they don't know what the @#%! they're talkin' about. You'll see me on the @#%! TV! (A.I. logo hiding hand gesture)

3. No one will mention "205" in Birmingham.


What I Will

1. An endless string of "205" references. In fact, Ryan already mentioned it in the promo at the end of last Wednesday's show.

2. I will see at least a dozen people mention:

• I'm unique.
• I'm a multi-, um, multi-, um . . . "multiple personality" performer. I can do it all. (Number 5 from my Big Crapple post is a repeated warning.)
• I love you, Paula! Look, I can sing "Straight Up" and dance like you do in the video. No, stop laughing, look. I'm doing it for real!
• @#%! (A.I. Logo) @#%! (A.I. Logo), etc., etc., etc.

3. Randy will tell us at least 15 times that "his" South is representin'/disappointin'/livin' large/eatin' big/gettin' crazy/dude, like, dawg, um, damn!

I can't wait to see which list is correct. I think we all know how it turns out.

P.S. I didn't even mention L.A. in this list. I just don't see how it's that exciting to get a golden ticket in L.A. to go to Hollywood.

"Dude! Welcome to Hollywood!"

"I already live here."

"Well, welcome anyway."

"Do I really need a ticket, or can I just take a cab?"
