Thread: American Idol II

I liked the Enrique Englesias wannabee, "Simon is my inspiration."

LMAO

there were so many, I cannot even remember them all!

Overall, the show was funny. But I feel really bad for some of the people that are dead serious, then just get BLASTED by the judges. The dude in the yellow suit is a good example of that. The poor guy was in tears after having his hopes and dreams squashed in an instant. I guess that's part of the business.

It was funny to see some of the judges reactions: Looking off into space, covering their eyes, running their hands through their hair in disgust.

The chick that wrapped herself in Christmas lights, then plugged herself in! So Simon says to her, "People like you are what makes this whole thing worthwhile."

yes, that little black fellow in the suit made me feel very bad.

you could look at it this way, these are experts in the music industry and they have many years of experience, thus have the ability to assess someone's true abilities and talents. does this mean that they are always right? nope, it's possible that some of these aspiring singers could improve and go on to be successful, but doubtful cause if they had "raw talent" it would show.

however, "experts" in the movie industry once told Arnold Swarzeneggar that he would never make it as an actor.

you can do one of two things, ignore them and put your heart and soul into improving or give it up and say they're right. if you truely have the passion and believe that you can be good, you will take their criticism constructively and bust your ass to get better.

Excellent points, Prince. But that Cedric wannabe clearly had no money, no one there for support, and had no idea how he was getting home. Seems that he laid a lot on the line and I just couldn't help but feel for the guy. As far as his talent goes, he really did NOT have any shot at winning.

I am sure very few of today's most popular recording artists get record contracts with their first tryout.

you dope, I agreed with you!

I said that I felt very bad for him.

as far as no money, no support, no way home, etc., he went down there on his own volition, no one forced him to.

I always love the beginnngs when the auditions take place!

It was the first time I've ever watched that show, I liked it.

Afterwards, I watched the "Meet The Folks" show, it's like The Bachelor for teens, LOL.

Me too, I never watched the "reality shows" but after seeing the preview I had to watch. I am waiting for that blonde in the preview that just makes an ass of herself LoL

They are really harsh sometimes though, a person with an AVERAGE voice and they are like "you are the end of the world, the daughter of satan if you will, you are an evil witch doctor that has brought bad luck upon us, remove yourself now..."

I loved it!!!

Did you see the girl in the "bash Simon room" start bawling after saying "they called me Kelly Osbourne"!!!!!!

That Edgar / Enrique Englesias wannabee needs some serious mental help! He totally scares me

What about the twins... did they totally nail it or what?!?! I wonder if they are going to allow them to compete together or if they will have to separate???

I really can't believe some of those dudes and dudettes think they can sing......

No doubt! I'm no expert but I can certainly hear when they are off-key and not even close to hitting a note

BTW dino... I ever tell you I like your avatar? Very sensual

Why butterfly, are you flirting with me?
COOL!


thanks

tsk tsk tsk! Ha ha Ha!!! Dino's thinking pornal!!!! He He!

Missed tonights episode (but taped it), but I like it last night with the kid that ripped his pant leg to be different. Simon says to him, "Yesterday I said someone was the worst singer in New York, I was wrong... you are!" And the kid faught with him and Simon said, "bring me someone worse than you in 24 hours!"

That was great!

Lean LoL, your mixing people up. The ripped pant leg was a queen (my gay boss even called him that, so no flames!), and the guy that had to find a worse singer wasn't that bad IMO, average singing at least, but it was funny that random people off the street could sing better LoL

They treat a person with an average voice though like a demon from hell, and thats going overboard, still though, an average voice is something people clean up in the studio and thats the SAME thing that singers from the 60s and previous "flame" new singers for (like Pam Anderson), they dont belong in the studio because they are frauds. How a person doesn't know when they suck, or that they are average, seems very, self centered, hmm.

WOW... 11,000 people showed up in CA!!! They said that was more people that tried out total in the first AI

11,000 people and only 44 can actually sing!!!

That was funny, Simon kept saying people in Detroit can't sing.

How about the boxer chick!

"I BEG to differ"!

she was a psyco.

"I beg to differ!!!"

Ya beat me too it P.

That show tends to bring out the gay guys.

Yeah, and she sucked.

Those twins needed a beating.

I still have yet to see a really sexy woman on there........

If it wasn't for Simon Cowell, I doubt any US network would have even bought the rights to that programme.

The man is a genius.

I like Simon's straight-forward style, but I know I'd be worse b/c I would also call the sexual preference of the contestant into question for the guys
