Default Okay....so I watched Amer Idol for the 1st time

First time I have ever seen the show, and it was not really by choice.

THIS is the 800 lb gorilla of the TV industry?


My favorite guy was the dude in the bannana suit singing "Its peanut butter and jelly time" while shaking the maracas.


Then came "Panther Man". Absolutely NO WAY this guy was serious, had to be an act. Had to be. Biggest douche ever.

Lastly, I felt bad for the skinny chinese girl who considered herself a self taught vocalist. Simon says "I don't know what is worse, your singing or your dancing." And her own MOM told her she was not pretty enough.

Then the really awful chick doing the bad Cher impression whose Mom came in and yelled at the judges.


GOOD LORD!!!!!!!! I had to keep leaving the room it was just so god awful to watch. Especially "Panther Man"

Good God, I bet you could Youtube the guy if you did not see it.


People are actually hooked on this show?????

The first two or three seasons this was all I saw of the show. This part is really a joke. My wife got hooked on the show and after I watched a couple of the "real" shows I started enjoying it. Once it get's down to the final 10 or 12 there's some true talent and worth watching IMO.

it is pretty stupid, yet slightly funny to watch idiots who are horrible actually think they are good.... I suck at singing and I clearly know it........ you would think it would fizzle out by now like Survivor has...

Most realty shows suck....

I will take "show's that I can't stand watching for $1,000 Alex"

dancing with the stars, whatever that thing was with weeman being a cop, the bachelor, the bachelorette, big brother, sureal house (absolutely retarded), hulk Hogan whateve, Gene Simmons whatever, John Force whatever, Simple Life, etc.....

what a waste of a bunch of film.....

It changes after the bad ones are weeded out, but I think it's funny as hell to see these horrible people who think they can sing.

the first part with all the shitty people is the best. the ones who actually have talent are no fun to watch. i really like the ghetto people who think they're the shiiiiet and then they get pissed and attack simon when he tells them they're horrible.

The show is a farce. There are pre-auditions to even get to the audition on the show. 10,000 people will show up for these, random people will listen to you sing for 10-15 seconds and let you know right there if you can go to the 'real' audition for the show. They obviously only let really good people, or really bad people get on the show. I have no personal experience, this is just what I've heard.

I quite enjoy The Real World. I know a lot of things are staged and people with conflicting personalities are chosen. It's why I don't tune in whenever it's on. I do watch it if I happen to be flipping through channels.
