American Idol

Am I the only one who is drawn to this stupid show. I don't watch much TV at home and do more of my TV watching at a buddy's house. Our gf's are into the show so of course while we are hangin' out, American Idol is running in the background keeping them entertained. But for some reason, today I got stuck to the screen. Is anyone else out there getting a kick out of this show?

Im drawn away from it, the drama is a turnoff, as are the assholes that rate the people, and some of the singers themselves. I much more appreciate it when they are in the finals and have positive input to give to the contestants. Any other time, its just not worth watching...

there is nothing stupid about American Idol! This is one of my favorite shows man! Has been since day one of season one; I'm hooked. If I were Bobby Brown this would be my crack cocaine. But yeah I never ever miss any episode; can't wait 'til next week's episode.

But is anybody else sick of seeing Clay Aiken's ass everywhere? I'm tired of it; he needs to rest for a week or so.

Ick. Idol. They did an Australian series, and it was stereotypical reality TV. Now Channel 10, one of the locals, has started showing your series. They seem to think that the youth of Australia has an obsession with being American, considering the amount of crap that reaches our shores.
The judges are ass. And then there's the idiots who _must_ have been paid to make a fool of themselves. I can not think of anyone who could be so deluded.

btw, this is not an attack on America, just their crappy TV!

I just love how these people cry and moan and complain that Simon was SOOOOOOOOOO mean to them. Get real, like they didnt KNOW that was gonna happen?

My favorite part is now over and I probably wont watch it again until the last 2 or 3 shows.

on a side note...I was disappointed to see "scooter" girl get the boot, I liked her, although every time they said scooter girl I got images in my head of rollergirl from Boogie Nights

A friend was over and wanted to watch an episode, so I agreed. It was sort of amusing to see people who really sucked at singing, but it got old quickly. As I was flipping last night I saw that the midget got the boot, which makes me happy, as she wasn't that good and I felt she only got the nod because she was different.

Scooter Girl, or as my friend calls her, "Beetle Bitch" NEEDED to go. I can't stand her; she was horrible and annoying on top of that.

Here are the people I am going for so far:


Marque

he was on Disney's The New Mickey Mouse Club along with pretty much every pop star today and played Simba in Lion King on Broadway. Which is why I think he might get axed. I don't know if Fox an'em know about him having such a huge resume; he's trained in all kinds of dancing too. At least in previous years, you couldn't be on the show if you had ANY kind of professional work. Maybe they changed their rules, because they HAVE to know about all he's done. Anyways, he's one of my top faves along with Amy.


Jennifer


Erskine


Diana DeGarmo


Amy Adams


Jesus Roman


John Peter Lewis


Lisa Leuschner


Matthew Rogers


Heather Piccinini

Leah Labelle is from my state (WA).

I've been watching it, but the last one before they cut it down to 32 really sucked. They were not with it when they had to create and sing their own song. Most of them forgot the lyrics.

And, I absolutely love the Frank Sinatra voice of John Stevens
He'd do well on Broadway or impersonation, really.

Isn't the midget still in the contest? Is it Kara Master? I know she made it to the 32, but I sure haven't seen anything specific of her yet..........

I love the beginning and the end of each season, but the middle gets really boring and I stop watching. It's just not interesting to see semi-telented singers, whom you don't care about in the first place, get sent home. You'd think the creators would have fingered this out by now and changed the format a little. Oh well, I'm sure I'll start watching again toward the end.

I enjoy watching the show with my daughters. Maybe I should be embarrassed, but the two shows I watch each week are Survivor and American Idol. So far I like: Erskine, Amy Adams, and John Peter.

All I know is that some of the insults are obviously scripted. When he gets the opportunity to respond to something personally it's apparent, but you can see him looking down at his packet of general insults right before he dishes the dirt all the time. I mean it's still hilarious and stuff so it's all good.

i can agree on this, i watch the first show to watch the people who are flat out horrible. Nothing better than people making asses of themselves in front of millions of people.

"I already gave my best"
"I have no professional singing"
Best part of the show (and his singing of course) and will be tough to top.

It's funny when Simon makes fun of the contestants. Everything that he says is pretty much true and he says it without holding anything back. The sad part is that the singers don't even realize that they are that bad.

During the auditions, there was one girl I saw that was bitching and complaining so much. Saying stuff like how American Idol is going to suck now that she is eliminated . Some of the people on there are really stupid..

I can't stand American Idol, and for some reason they're airing it in Australia, as if Australian Idol wasn't bad enough! It'd be pretty cool though, if they took out all the acapellas and just kept the conflict

I watched the entire first season, but for the second and third all I've watched are the auditions, because those are by far the best episodes of the series.

I usually love the tryouts, but this year I just couldn't wait for them to be over and the "real" singing to start. Too many obviously planted people, and knowing that they've already passed at least one level of tryouts to get to the judges makes it all seem too obviously fake.

I logged on to check what everyone thought of the [horrid] performances on Tuesday and then I realized that apparently no one cares anymore. For what it's worth, I think Marisa and Emily had the two best performances of the night. However, I want Camile to move on because

1) She had the third best performance
2) Her audition was really good since she demonstrated her talents by performing hip-hop; she will do more hip-hop in the future
3) She's really frickin' cute

I felt like I was watching a karaoke showdown on last nights episode. Not one of them were good singers and I honestly see better talent at the bar during karaoke night.

My immediate thoughts after the show was over was, how dissapointing for the members of the first group since it was so full of talent. I am sure it is eating them up knowing that two of the subpar contestants from last nights episode will be moving to the next round while they have to go home.

Given that this is now in it's 3rd installment (i think?), i wonder how much the show can actually change in terms of the talent pool. Because it was only a short while ago that they had another show (wasn't it?), and then there's a whole batch of other people who are good for the next series? Where are the other really good people who just missed out alst time?

Logically, you'd imagine that a lot of people who made it to the top 20ish in the previous installments could easily make it to the next ones. So i wonder why there aren't many double ups?
I also wonder how talent can seemingly spawn like its made out to be? (i know not everyone who's good signs up, but you'd imagine 90%+ would?)

Although i don't really watch the show, so i don't know, but was curious about the point i am making now

same for any talent show, although the main ones, nowadys, are singing and dancing type?
