American Idol 8 Auditions are Already Filled with Plants



Looks like Idol hasn't learned a thing. Auditions for American Idol 8 are underway, and although the contestants have not yet made it to the celebrity judge round, we've found many plants who have auditioned this year thanks to JoesPlace and some additional detective Worsters. So be on the lookout for these people. We're hoping by spoiling them early, we can help ruin their chances and get some non-plants on the show this year.

  • Plantiest of all is Raquel Houghton (pictured left), Dane Cook's ex-girlfriend, and former member of the band The Valli Girls that was signed to Sony/BMG.
  • Almost as planty... Joanna Pacitti, who was signed to A&M Records to release songs on the Legally Blonde soundtrack and a CD for Mattel's My Scene, and then signed under Geffen Records to release her single "Let it Slide".
  • Lara Johnston, daughter of Doobie Brothers' singer Tom Johnston, who appeared on MTV's "Rock the Cradle".
  • Harley Sumabat, who previously was on the show "Can You Duet?"

We'll keep you updated on all the plants we can find. Seriously, producers. Let's not ruin the show with has beens again this year. Thanks in advance.

I'm waiting for the snake to completely eat it's tail one day. I foresee a day in the not too far off future when we will see the recycling of old Idol contestants on new seasons, only vaguely disguised. Soon we'll see some vaguely black/white dude with awkwardly straightened hair named "Jerstin Gwarneenee." He will be accompanied in the top six by a dark-skinned blonde named "Gwenna Nethers," a muscled and manly guy who sounds like Josh Groban named "Flay Quaken," an urbane and sophisticated city boy named "Mo Mice," and a beautiful young lady who not at all resembles a pug named "Ferris Ninnit."

Alas, they will all be overcome in the finals by the upstart talent of 100% unknown, never before seen by the public, brand new, amateur singer "Squavid Larchuteta."

Ah crap! AGAIN?! I'm tired with this "planty" stuff! Well, since there are going to be more plants, then we (votefortheworst) need to be the "weeds". So we can suck all the nutrients these plants need (aka: the Idol contestants, fantards and TPTB).

Bring them on baby!

Mo Mice...nice one Baio...great visual image popped in my mind when I read that one!

I read at the A.I. forums that there were some 2nd generation Osmonds at one of the auditions. Not sure they're plants per se, because TPTB may not want them to be there. I know Paula is trying to get on Dancing With the Stars so maybe they're trying to arrange a trade...Osmonds for Paula (and Randy?).

I don't know if I can take another season of this BS.

And did this Raquel chick write her own profile?: "Raquel Houghton was born on Sunday, December 20, 1981 and is a famous singer."

Right.

Fan-frigging-tastic. Carly and her failed music career pushed open the floodgates, and now we'll be stuck with nothing but music industry washouts looking for a second (or third, or fourth, or...) chance at fame by appearing on this show.

I don't think American Idol will ever have its singing backhoe operators or waitresses again. It's pros and semi-pros from here on out, and the show will be worse off for it.

Why am I not a bit surprised? What a joke. Why can't they just find some nobody's like they are supposed to and let them have a shot instead of giving another one to these failures?

Who cares if there are plants? It's like pro wrestling. The matches are all fixed but it's still entertaining.

Besides, did any of the plants win last year? NO.

LOL! I'm pretty sure Raquel did write her own profile rosiekins.
"Being born on Dec 20, Raquel is a Sagittarius and has an athletic body."
...I don't think anyone can ever top Carly for most annoying plant, but it looks like this chick is going to try.

I think we know what AI needs to do....Bring back Rhodesia!!!!

I don't fit in at VFTW because I actually liked Carly because she was one of the few last season that actually sang well and I felt bad for how exhausted she looked by her career and life itself. So yeah, I'll be hung out to dry now.
