Re: American Idol

"Soundled like she was puking, to me, 95% of the time. Great live, in a church, I bet, but it just grated on my nerves."

Yep, if not for Macy Gray's popularity over the last couple of years, this chick would've gone nowhere.
If they had actually been looking for talented singers, that La Toya London chick would've won. I know these things because like most of you, my wife, mom, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, grandmother, they all eat this shit up. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: American Idol

There are 5 TVs in my house and I live alone.
I have a hard time believing that you guys only have 1 TV and are "forced" to watch this crap.

Re: American Idol

In the latest edition of Tracks magazine they said that the average age of an American Idol veiwer is 32. I don't watch the show myself (spend too much time playing guitar) but I do know that last years winner Clay is no where near 600 lbs. not sure why anyone would think that. Scott

Re: American Idol

Yup, Ms. London was awesome.

BTW, Clay didn't win, Ruben did. Clay was #2.

My wife got me interested in watching it, then I got hooked. My requirements for nighttime tv are simple: it has to be meaningless crap. I deal with enough meaningful shit all day: I want 100% bullshit at night, if the TV is on at all.

American Midol fits the bill. Cheaper than heroin, too.

Re: American Idol

A good friend of mine tried out for Canadian Idol and she reported back to me that the whole thing was a huge farce. I'm extrapolating that opinion to include any nation's Idol competition.

What's worse is that Warner Brothers' "Superstar USA" show or whatever.

Reality TV is awful. [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually, this series was created in Britain as "Pop Idol" by that annoying Simon guy and then exported around the world like some bad disease.

I am proud to say that I have never watched a single moment of "Reality TV" in any form, including American Idol, Survivor, The Batchelor and its ripoffs, etc. etc. etc.

My wife can't stand that shit, either, so it never shows up on our TVs. I watch crime dramas, football, Star Trek, History Channel, Biography, movies on USA or AMC, the occasional Spanish-language tv (if I'm drunk enough), and the odd Russian-language program on our local cable system's oddball foreign channel (if I'm incredibly drunk).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">cheaper yes, but one minute of viewing this crap
makes even the most stable and adjusted of human beings want to do heroin to kill the pain that is doled out in large waves from these kind of kookbat shows [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: American Idol

i'm gonna start my own show-
"American Yuffie"
i have broken down this country into 3 categories-
1-yuppie = young urban professional
2-yullie = young urban laborer
3-yuffie =(me)young urban failure-lol

each week we will have three losers battle it out
to see who can set their life back the farthest.
masters degrees in credit card debt,gambling,drinking,narcotic use, and fake charvel purchases will determine who gets on the show to compete.
