American Idol

HAHAHA! I just watched American Idol and it was about one of the funniest things ever. I dont kno how people who sing so bad could even TRY to audition. I mean some of the people were absolutely TERRIBLE! But...i do give them props for getting the courage to go up there and try to fullfill their dream. that takes a lot of balls. And those judges are harsh...they would make me cry like a baby in an instant...(hand)
 
i dont watch because i cant stand hearing bad singing :p

it just makes me cringe.

Though i couldnt sing on key to save my life i still dont like hearing bad singing. ;)
 
sorry Ive never watched any of those "reality" shows. I think they just show how idiotic we are as Americans. but thats just my personal opinion.
 
I believe those "reality" shows just prove how completely brainwashed Americans are as a whole. How is it a "reality" show if it is nothing like the normal everyday "reality" of common Americans. I can't remember the last time I was stranded on an island and had to survive for 3 months. Can you? I can't remember the last time I auditioned for a singing career. Can you? I also can remember the last time someome walked up to me and said "I'll give you $50,000 if you eat an elk testicle and a sheep's eyeball." Those shows are just bubble gum for the brain dead people of America. Anytime I hear people talking about them, it is an instant sign of just how completely uneducated and stupid they are. It isn't a reality show unless it shows someone's everyday reality, like the Osbornes, or the Anna Nichole show. Yes, they are stupid also, but at least they are a little better than the others. I am personally ashamed of how the American public will watch anything these stupid producers will put on the air. It makes me realize how dumb the American public is getting. It's sad really.
 
Ben, I guess it's reality in the fact that it's not scripted, etc.
 
I think some of them are scripted. Like american idol. I saw some of the previews of some of the people that sang really bad. Do you really think that those people that sang really bad didn't now that. Do you think their friends said, "yeah, you sound great, you should try out for it". No, they know they sound like crap. They wre paid to go on the show and sound like crap. The reality shows are just like the Jerry Springer show. It started out real and not scripted, but after the american publics apetite got ahold of it, it became fake and scripted. All of these shows are just crap.

Us Canadians love that. ;) j/k
And I shouldn't talk. Soon to be coming to our networks is "Canadian Idol" produced by the same people as American Idol.

Last night was the first time I watched the show. It was friggin' hilarious! Did anyone see that 24 y.o. guy trying to sing the Esglacious (I know that's not the right spelling) song? Which sounded mostly like a bunch of screams? I was rolling on the floor laughing. I doubt I'll watch any of the later episodes, I just want to see all the really bad stuff at the beginning. :D
 
Yeah the only good thing about Idol shows is the mess ups. The rest is pretty boring. I auditioned for Arizona Idol, his local contest to win a free trip to La to audition for the real American Idol. Me and my sister didnt even get in the doors because more people had showed up than they expected and they didnt have time to audition everybody. It was a total waste of 12 hours, but whatever. I'd rather pursuit a singing career elsewhere I guess.
 
Im pretty sure that some of the people who audition on shows such as American Idol, who know their singing sucks, are on the show for one reason, television fame. Like that one guy who basically invited himself to Hollywood, and tryed to convince the producers that the group of judges asked him to come back again. And what a phony accent.
 
Well I just got done watching the latest episode. I could not get enough of the lack of talent in detroit. and that chik boxer at the end, what a sad story who fuking cares. I think that at least american idol is a little better than survivor and bridezillas WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT. At least we dont live in Iraq were they cant even watch tv. (mabey I dont know I am just glad I dont live there).
