WHAT YOU DON'T SEEPAULA AND KARA IGNORE EACH OTHER OFF CAMERABy DEBORAH STARR SEIBEL
March 31, 2009
SITTING in the audience at "American Idol" is a little like going to one of those suburban mega-churches where they worship by the thousands in unison. You are not allowed to sit quietly in your chair. You are instructed when to scream, clap and otherwise carry on for the contestants, the judges and the host. And you would be surprised at how effortless it all is.
After eight extraordinary seasons, this is one slick production. The engaging warm-up guy, Cory Almeida, tells you that host Ryan Seacrest will come out and do his intro, ending with the familiar: "This . . . is American Idol!" At that point, says Almeida, your job is to go crackers. "Scream, shout, let it rip," he instructs the faithful. And you do. In the theater, it is so loud that when you go home and watch the show on DVR, the performances sound oddly flat and quite different.
In person, there is much more emphasis on the band, perched inexplicably in the rafters this season, high above the stage.
Despite seeming so far away, the band manages to envelope the singers with sound and rock the house. But at home, the musicians sound strangely removed. And at home, every perfect or "pitchy" note can be clearly heard from the contestants. Not so in the audience.
Also, this season, there seems to be a Great Divide between "Idol's" two women judges, Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi.
Kara and Randy Jackson have an excellent rapport. And Abdul, when she's not in her own little world, can be seen talking to Simon Cowell, who -- reading his facial expressions -- treats her like a sometimes-adorable-sometimes-insufferable pet.
But the two women rarely speak to each other on stage.
Meanwhile, while you at home are watching the contestants perform, the judges are talking to each other, right in front of the poor contestants. If you're thinking that can't be a good sign -- that, say, Scott MacIntyre or Megan Joy can't hold their attention -- it's not the case. The fab four are also chatting it up while superstars like Smokey Robinson, Joss Stone and Stevie Wonder are singing. (In the judges' defense, they have usually seen the performers in dress rehearsal and it's not new to them.)
During commercial breaks, the judges split. Simon practically bolts out of his chair -- and out of the studio -- during almost every break.
And they all come back with only seconds to spare. The floor director can be seen begging the judges to take their seats. Like a terrible boy pulling pranks, Simon will sometimes push Paula's chair way under the desk, so that she can't take her seat.
Sitting in the audience, it is also clear -- in ways that don't carry through the TV screen -- when contestants like Adam Lambert or Danny Gokey or Lil Rounds sing as if they owned the place. Those moments are thrilling acts of discovery.
"What you want," says music director Rickey Minor after a recent show, "is for the audience to go to bed totally spent."
In person, at least, they do.
