American Idol - Americans at there worst

It isn't smaller talent it is the fact that they want better than what they have had previous seasons. What would fly the first isn't going to fly the third.

Well the main group got to Hollywood and last night was the first cut! Man this one girl delivered a mouth full of crap to him!

I'd like to know is story anyway - IMO he's a little raw sometimes. I know the music industry is tough but his rudeness come-on!

I thought the people from hawaii were way better singers then the americans. (no offense)

The mouthy girl went on for thirty minutes. It is said that what she said was so bad they couldn't even show you more than what they did last night.

The Critics in the music bassness spare no one from the words of evil they have cooking up. If it is good enough for a laugh and good writing there it will be and feelings will be in pain. They spare no expense.

Ah the irony of that statement. I believe Hawai`i became a state of the union in 1959.

I find the most entertaining part of the show at the beginning..although I do feel bad for the people that get really really bad news....
then again, most of them deserve it, and you know..someone shouldve told them that they cant sing for diddly...or they should have listened.
Some of the people though arent all that bad..and they tear them apart.
Its wierd.
That girl that went off...I dont know how she made the cut....as a business person--I dont care if her voice is gold....she was bad. You cant talk like that until you've earned the respect in the business to shell it out.
The ones on tonight..well, its getting to the end and they're tearing everything apart....and rightfully so but, its still odd.
I cant watch it for the full hour, or I have to be doing other things so, its not that entertaining but, it is at least interesting to click by and stop on if nothing else is goin on..eh. shrug.

I agree, the first part of the series where hey show the REALLY bad stuff is the most entertaining. I see no need to rip into those with the "okay" voices. Just tell 'em they have a nice voice for the Sunday choir, but in all probability they won't garner a career with their singing voice.

Just a little note. I know I'm anal about this, but....the thread title has a spelling error. It should be "American Idol - Americans at their worst"

oh no...dont start looking at my postings...sometimes I do that on purpose..otherwise no one would know it was me....
so I wont change it either

sorry ahead of time anyway..Im anal too

I thrive on making anal people crazy with insanity and imperfection

Nice doesn't rate. And people quite often feel better about themselves by putting down others.

I've never watched any version of this show (Australian, American, World). When I saw the ad for the final of Australian Idol, I didn't think the last two guys could sing that well, what little I could hear over all those stupid girls and their annoying, childish screaming. What the hell is it with that?

American Idol
I am pretty sure that what they do in American and Australian idolo etc. Is they dont show the people that are ok! They on;y show the people on tv that are really bad (SING LIKE S***) Or sometimes if your lucky they show the people that actually get in!!! I really think the people on tele should start making the tv realistic!!! I know that you might say that it brings lots of people to watch it if people cry and be upset and violence etc. but if they shoe a bit of everything sad, happy etc. I reckon they will be great!!!!

What the judges do is not as bad as what Critics will do. If they cry now they need to go. There is no need for people with thin skin. See how everyone rips into Britney Spears and others, that is what an American Idol has to live with if they make it. So if they start to cry because Simon said they sing like crap then they need to go home to their mommy. This isn't a show for people who want to be pampered and loved. First comes the hate then comes the love and the comes the love/hate. Live with it. Don't like the heat get out of the kitchen.

I like the show. I think it is a close to reality as they can get with in the hour. And of course they are going to show you the bad. If they just showed the good it wouldn't be that intresting now would it. Plus that would mean none of the people that were bad would get thier 15 seconds of fame.

I'm not watching for reality, I'm watching for entertainment.

Well that goes to show what I know, let me rephrase then.
I think that the people from Hawaii sang much much better then the rest of the country. Is that any better?

I think they sang pretty good! I one moved on for sure.

Anyone still watching ?

If you're talking about people from Hawaii as in Polynesians, I'd believe that. Singing is part of their heritage.

That's true, Wilso -- during visits to the islands, I found that even the singers who gather each night at sunset in the courtyard of the Halekalani hotel had better voices than most pop stars.
