Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

How could they have found 10 of the Top 12?
The judges pick the Top 24 and then its up to those who vote to decide the rest.

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

I would have no trouble believing the AI producers would "invite" good singers to "audition", particularly after last year's horrible season.

I also wouldn't be surprised that they play games with the "voting." There is no independant verification of the "votes" nor are the actual totals made public.

However, until an independant news source without an axe to grind, confirms any of this, who can honestly say what they're doing?

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

Yeah i read this last night....the nanny that has never seen an R-rated movie was in the one that I read...she has over like 13,000 friends on myspace and was just in the contest that Star 98.7 in LA held for a record deal with Keifer Sutherland's Ironworks Records...so not against the rules but still she's pretty much a professional artist...it's just like when it started it was like the every day person having the chance to be seen....but now it's like they are planting these people who are musicians for a living...and it's like well they a)either already failed i.e. Kristy Cook and Carly Hennesy or b)haven't been good enough to make it big or c) which I don't have a problem with, but they just didn't have the connections to make it big

Carly Hennesy is the one I have the biggest problem with. She was on Season 3 but couldn't make it past the auditions because she didn't have an American Visa...but she already has a major label album out...I remember that song that she had out I watched the video last night and i'm like wow i totally know this song. And now Nygel Lithgoe is saying she will probably win....that's lame....

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

Its kinda weird because a few months ago I caught Kelly Clarkson's Behind The Music or Driven on VH1, I dont know one of them. And Her mom was on there and she stated how right before Idol Kelly sung for almost every major record label out there and they all turned her down. I guess being on Idol has its perks. Unless she was making it up.

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

if you look at that Jermaine Paul guy's Wikipedia page it says that he is already signed to J Records(2008 - ).....

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

Well, Since the rules only state that you have to not have any contracts (management, label etc) then there's not a problem on my end. Hell the American band show's final 2 artists were both major label country acts at one point. I don't care. AI voters still will vote for their favorite 'story.'

OH, btw, Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee both lost their record deals recently.

^^^^I think Ruben got dropped too from J Records.........

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

Yea Ruben got dropped. J Records confirmed it in OK! Magazine.

 

[thongboi]

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

Well, honestly, I'm not surprised by ANY of them getting dropped and I suspect that AI year 7 will be HEAVY in the country types this year. Look @ the country music charts. Pickler, Covington, Josh Gracin, now Phil Stacey and of course there's Carrie Underwood. Lindsey Cardinale is kicking around Nashville and Carmen Rasmussen has a deal and has charted a single too.

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

^I agree!! Country is more popular then ever now. More and more people are starting to listen to it.

Re: American Idol producers scout professional singers to audition for this season.

I was looking forward to watching the show, but now I won't bother. This is complete bullshit, but not surprising considering it's assuming that American's don't want to see any rappers on the show, or screamo/heavy metal singers.

[alley]

Re: American Idol

You really think Simon is competely hetro?

 

[gwmnatl364]

Re: American Idol

I don't find Simon attractive but did notice the sizable bulge in his jeans during last night's show. Simon and Randy were walking through the lobby at the beginning of the show. Damn Simon was packing some heat. Anyone else notice it.

Re: American Idol

Yep! He has a "big boy and some low hangers" to show off. I entered an earlier thread concerning his entry into the show and his VPL. Maybe I should have read further and responded here.
