Hollywood is dead. Long live CommieWeird.
The carnival was never the same when the freak show became politically incorrect. The closest thing I've seen in years was the Idol audition. And that guy DID look like a bush baby.
ROFL! Good description of the judges.
"I wish Katharine McPheever was back this year."
I gave up looking for her CD. Did she ever make one?
AI is the culmination of 30 years of "self esteem training" in lieu of education. After a lifetime of having their self-esteem built up without ever really learning anything, college-age kids who can't carry a tune in a bucket think they have a God-given right to a record deal and stardom.
Watching reality (in the form of a wickidly funny Brit) smack them in the face is almost as much fun as watching the DUmmies during the 2004 election. If you haven't tried it, I recommend it at least once. Lots of stereotypically mincing gays, too, which also always makes me laugh--lowbrow but come on, still funny.
I think its coming out February 1st.
I've never watched the show more than a few seconds once and a while.
But just in those bits and pieces, and all I can say is...
Even the good singers can't sing.
Yelling is now taken as 'singing'.
American is full of talentless clones if this any indicator.
What's the point?
And yeah, the meanness was the #1 reason I never started watching it.
See, that's the problem. I don't think Simon is even mildly funny. A shrewd businessman, yes, but funny? Not in this universe. As for trying it out just once, I just can't go there. I think I'd rather have a root canal with no novacaine.
Whitney got my vote last night. I don't think this crop of candidates is as good as last year's Nashville Star, but it's early yet. And who on earth is the bearded judge supposed to be?
All of the contestants now wildy oversing like Christina Aguilera
I have an "Amici" CD that someone lent me. OMIGOD! The voices are so pretty! They are really singing songs on key and they are so pretty!
I thought it was a lost art.
But now, everyone yells, wails, flings their arms around and we hear "She can really belt out a song!"
OK, but can she sing?
Remember last year at the finale where they had some of the bad singers back to sing on the live show?
I think some bad singers have this in mind.
15 minutes of fame isn't enough....they're shooting for 30.
Sorry, but there's a third; my wife. We're a small club to be sure.
Like this guy?

I love AI - it's the most cheesetastic show on TV. It's really not a talent competition at all. It's more like a game show where the top 2 finishers become overnight celebrities and multi-millionaires. Great fun!!
