American Idol !..It's Back and Weirder Than Ever !

[ElvisGuy]

So the new season of American Idol started and boy was it strange !! I'm trying to decide what was stranger..the plump gentleman in the Slave Princess Leia costume or the Agro geek girl in a Princess Leia costume. Paula was hilarious as usual thanks to all the medication shes on .:D

[Kyuubi]

Shouldn't they just rename the thing "American Freak Show"?

[Kyuubi]

Have you never seen the show before?

Melinda Doolittle's blog on her myspace page is very funny.


That is all.

That's the girl I was referencing in my AAAAhhhhhhh! Thread. Enfield, CT, her hometown, is two town over from mine. Gah, I feel like it's guilt by association just saying she lives so close. I sometimes shop at an Enfield comic store and go to some gaming cons in CT. I haven't seen her though that I'm aware of.

I guess a co-worker of mine tried out for Idol a few seasons back. I'm thinking she has a nice voice because her choir was invited to sing on The View some years back. But she's a bit,...well,... she doesn't fit the prototypical visual standards for the show so she didn't make past initial try-outs.

Does that mean you approve or disapprove of Idol? :D

The early round freakshow always makes me shudder. At best I flip back and forth with other shows, but these days THERE ARE NO OTHER SHOWS!

I guess after his comments in Rolling Stone , Chris Daughtry won't be ever back on AI singing.

It's when she stops that people get really worried....

[Gail Simone]

What did he say?

I have to say, I'm always a little amazed that these people are often so angry at AI after they are plucked from obscurity to become superstars.

Heres the link. The numbers in the article may back up Daughtry's claims.

That guy makes me sound awesome, and I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

[Mysterio]

I told myself I wouldn't get sucked in this year. Buuuttt, my wife started watching it and I just had to watch the trainwreck.

I really don't see any sour grapes on Daughtry's part in that Rolling Stone piece. He was telling it like it is.

[Spiffy]

Important question:

Does the DCU have its own version of Idol? :) Is there some Ryan Seacrest type hosting a singing talent show with a Simon type, a Paula type and a Randy type in any of the 52 realities?

Wait. I know. In at least one alternate, that Dunkleman guy kept the job and Seacrest was the one left crying in his beer.

AHHHHHHHHHH !!! Stop it Gail !! Youre gonna give me nightmares !

If she's speaking like Julie Andrews, the butterfly nets come out.

That must be one Helluva pipple.

Chris -- Idol's "slump" started in your season, silly. After two seasons in a row where the winner (and runner up) weren't huge commercial successes, the pressure might be on now.

But this season might already have a hit song!

Everyone sing along:

I am your brother
Your best friend forever
Singing the songs, the music that you like
We're brothers till the end of the time
Together or not you're always in my heart
Your hurt, your feelings in you will rain no more.

Which isn't Daughtry's fault since he finished 4th and has went on to a bigger career than the winners. Daughtry has since replied on his website that he gave a more full answer and was trying to be honest. But his answer was cut down to make it "juicy" .

It's so sad that when you're asked something and you answer honestly....you're made out to be the bad guy. Yes, I'm referring to the Rolling Stone post. The funny thing is, if you heard the whole conversation you would've heard all the good things I said about the show as well. Like for instance: How it's an amazing platform to launch a career....."If you take it seriously!!!!" Let's not forget I was a struggling artist for 11 years that never got any respect or notoriety so know that I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity that Idol gave me. And that's where my comments came from. It all started when the interviewer (who was great by the way) asked me where the "Idol stigma everyone talks about" comes from. Ya know....the reason people never take anyone from the show serious in the real world and why people say "oh they came from AI, they're not real artists." So, I answered that I don't feel that enough "artists" try out for the show because of how many people they focus on that are obviously there for comedic and entertainment value. And when you focus enough on people that aren't serious about it then it's hard for the audience to take you as an artist serious. And it's also hard as a potential contestant to think it's a good way to get seen because you're afraid of being made a joke of. I also said I think it's AWESOME that they are letting the contestants play their own instruments and that I feel that will show something in the contestants that people (the audience) never get to see....but that wasn't printed. My long winded point is this....I was never trying to "DISS" the show or "BITE THE HAND THAT FED ME" so to speak. I was simply giving my input on what I think would spice the show up a bit.
Sorry for being honest. God bless!-Chris

I LOVED that song :) That guy had me rolling on the floor.

That "never kissed a girl" guy with his dad and their "key and heart" thing was too creepy. Somebody send child services to check in on that.

THANK YOU !!!.. I thought I was the only one to think that

On the TV/Film board a few of us cracked some jokes about that guy. I told a pal that odds are had he passed on and became famous he'd be a sex addict having sex with all kinds of women. :p

Things I noticed:


The worst singers don't even know what the songs they sing are called (it's "I believe in you and me" and not "I believe in miracles" and that is actually a Four Tops song, and Whitney's version was the 3rd halfway successful cover, and it's "And I'm tellin' you I'm not goin'" not "I ain't going nowhere.")

Mariah Carey fans never, ever have even a smidgen of talent.

Mariah fans think if they do all that crazyness with their vocals and shit on a song like Mariah does ...it'll work. But they don't realize Mariah sucks when she does it and hell they suck worse as a result.
