American Idol 11

[MattClaimer]

Fair enough. But your first statement -- "the singers are still judged on their talent" -- can only be true if you believe that every elimination is purely talent-based, that the voters always get it right, and that the best singers always outlast the lesser talented ones. Is this what you really believe? For example, do you believe every winner was the most talented of their season? Do you believe Blake Lewis was more talented than Melinda Doolittle? Do you believe Lauren Alaina was more talented than Pia and Haley last season?

I no longer have a dog in this fight, it's already way more than I intended to put into it.Your points are valid and you obviously are way more into the whole Idol thing than I am. I just watch the last couple of shows and listen with my ears and decide whether I agree or disagree. In this case, I agree that Phillip is the better artist.

But I really only came to the thread looking to see if anybody else thinks he's a sexy dude or not. I'd do him........would you? How's that for a segue?

I honestly would but this season needed a token male fattie for me lust over.

The girls left me pretty cold too, since the main two girls were A) 16 or B) Tinkerbell's incomprehensible British cousin. Maybe Elise but even then... eh. Haley last year was a great singer AND pretty hot.

Thanks for always adding the salient point I forgot to include, dear.

I can honestly say Philip is a very attractive guy but he also looks like he'd reek of BO and douche. If he bathed and didn't talk/sing, I'd do anything he wanted in bed. And then I'd hate myself for it.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

Maybe Elise but even then... eh. Haley last year was a great singer AND pretty hot.

I think the thing that always stopped me from loving Elise as much as I loved Haley is that Elise seemed to have a bad, entitled attitude while Haley was hilariously stoned most of the time.

And yeah, Haley and Pia were more XX Hotness than we usually get on one season of Idol.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

So of course now I'd like to know who you guys think were the hottest guys to ever appear on Idol. My list is pretty generic. I'm sure slip's will be characteristically original. My top 3 would be:

1. Alan Ritchson

2. Kris Allen

3. Tim Urban

 

[slipintothefog]

Just pick the ugliest guy from each season and you probably have my list, let's be real.

Yeah but even YOU wouldn't choose Steven Tyler.

 

[slipintothefog]

My number one is Casey because he is the closest thing this show has had to a bear.

Um... okay, I fucking HATE Gokey but he was kind of fat and wore glasses = yum.

I can't even remember anybody from earlier than season 8.

Ranking the five WGWG winners on attractiveness:
1. Kris Who
2. Phil
3. Lee
4. Hairplugs Cook
5. Kermit the Frog

I co-sign this ranking. I think even when I didn't agree with the voting, I could always understand why girls/gays would find the first four attractive. I mean Philip is cute, Kris Allen is Darren Criss level hot, David Cook is attractive when he sings, and Lee...has pretty eyes (I guess?). The only one I could not understand was Scotty. I mean OK the deep voice but MY GOD that face?? He's gross and not who I'd ever pick as a teenage dream/cougar bait.

I know I shouldn't be shocked but...

It's a damn shame Pee-Pee made it much further than that hunk of man called Wolf. Maybe next season...

 

[slipintothefog]

I should probably like Lee more because he was the heaviest of the five WGWGs but he seemed so disinterested and soulless (yet always looked teary-eyed for some reason) at all times. I mean Philip was irreverent on the show all the time but even he wasn't like "Yeah... I used to work as a paint salesman... I used to sniff the paint a lot... yeah..."

ETA: Firestorm reminded me of that Wolf guy. YES YES YES YES.

Scotty looked like the bastard child of GW Bush and Howdy Doody. DO NOT WANT.

I know I'm having a brain fart moment here but...who?

Lee just might be the dumbest most inarticulate guy to appear on the live shows in ANY season.

Note, I said "guy" because he's still a Rhode Scholar next to Lauren Alaina.

ETA: Firestorm reminded me of that Wolf guy. YES YES YES YES.

WHO are you guys talking about?

According to Adam Lambert, Gokey was always trying to cram his religion in Adam's face. That frosts the no-sex cake for me.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

Gokey was a fucking necrophiliac.

Scotty looked like the bastard child of GW Bush and Howdy Doody. DO NOT WANT.

I think the Scotty/Mad Magazine thing is the most awesome "He's ugly as shit" comparison, second only to "Steven Tyler's face looks like raw meat on a dreamcatcher."*

(*seriously WHO originally said this? It's been bugging me for days)

 

[slipintothefog]

WHO are you guys talking about?

He was just this blue-collar bear dude who passed the first audition and then was eliminated without a second thought during Hollywood. I don't even remember his last name.

Yeah, I really hated Gokey and was hoping for anybody to beat him in the end. However, I can pretty easily separate a repugnant personality and my perception of physical attractiveness. Give me somebody who looks like Gokey but has a nice, modest personality like Kris Allen and you have my perfect man though.
