American Idol began its live Hollywood auditions on Tuesday and the results were, well, lackluster. The top 12 males performed and to say that they were a little nervous would be an understatement. The fact that they were all performing in front 30 million American viewers also couldn't have been too exciting. Being a newbie to the whole American Idol process, I was totally taken aback at how mediocre all the performers sounded. I presume they'll get better as the weeks go on, but first impressions go a long way, and the first impressions viewers received last night weren't very good at all.There were a couple of bright spots. The main one, for me, however, had nothing to do with the performances. American Idol being a live show and all, it allows for unscripted banter between the host and the judges. Last night, we saw a little tiff between Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest that seemed to go well beyond playful teasing. Simon seemed genuinely upset with the way Seacrest was running the show and didn't like being called out for simply speaking his mind and telling the truth.Otherwise, there were a couple of okay performances, but no stunners. I certainly can't imagine any of these guys winning the whole thing and becoming the next American Idol. Hopefully, we'll see some better performances from the females tonight, as well as improved performances by everyone as the show goes along. That's one of the best things about American Idol: watching performers grow as the show goes along. Last night was only the beginning.
