I hate American Idol

Ummm....I said chocolate oatmeal cookies. You know, the no bake kind.

I've heard terrible things about him. Just terrible.



I mean, that poor goat. It never saw it coming...
 
since you're feelin' generous Stacey...can a brotha get some Keebler Rainbow Deluxe?..|
 
They look like this. I know they look unappetizing, but they're really good. I was addicted for a while.
 
Now I'm craving cookies, and we don't have any. :(
 
like i would watch something with an uber fag like adam lambert...

i havnt watched a single episode since season 4...
 
I'll agree, so long the sucking that the Jonas Brothers and Zac Efron do is cock related...I mean, sure, they're the product of Disney snuff that basically relegates them to a life of making grown up's ears bleed, but god damn it if they ain't fun to look at.

I've never understood why people go insane for this show.

The only parts I ever found mildly entertaining are the auditions when the judges rip apart the idiots who think they can sing, and many of those are most likely staged.

Yesterday one of my cousins was voting non stop for one of the guys. It was kind of funny to me. Then I log on here and see countless threads on this. Is that really necessary? Can't you people just use one big thread to discuss this stupid show?


American Idol sucks, and while I'm at it so do The Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montanah, High School Musical, The Disney Channel, Britney Spears and Zac Effron.





























That is all. :square:

It helps us temporarily take our minds off of our meaningless, empty lives.

Do you have a problem with that ?

I do.

If your life is so empty and meaningless why don't you get off your ass and MAKE full of happiness and meaning?

Or are you(and most other people these days) to damn lazy to do that?

So don't start blaming people for being lazy because we enjoy a TV show that takes us away for a few minutes.

Why not?

Isn't everyone responsible for their own happiness and for what they have in life?

I don't remember anyone putting a gun to anyone's head and saying "be lazy watch American Idol!"

Don't try to justify it please.
 
lol @ you putting Britney Spears (Age 27) with the rest of Disney Channel Tweens.


and no reason to spread the hate. I don't think anyone here cares that you don't like American Idol.

*I don't personally watch it lol cuz I never watch T.V so*
 
I don't like the things Sultan has listed either. Never understood the appeal. But hey, different strokes for different folks. I think the problem is when people spend ALL of their free time with this kind of stuff. One of my friends keeps up with pop culture but didn't know who Joe Biden was even AFTER Obama won the election. That's a problem.

On a lighter note, those cookies look pretty damn good. :drool:
 
Never watched it, either. Not because I like feeling superior, but because it basically combines all sort of thing I don't like - "battle of the bands", reality TV, manufactured drama, and disposable hero worship - into one program. My only interest in the show is tangential. I'm fascinated by people, and how they react to various things, and AI is nice enough to distill a lot of human behavior for me. :)

For a few years, I didn't get the "they're gonna be big stars" proclamations by everybody. The AI alumni batting average in the marketplace is surprisingly anemic for a group that supposedly has so much talent (in front of and behind the glass) and marketing behind it. Most either end up as niche artists or vanish entirely. But I've come to realize that AI isn't about making stars. It's more like sports. Much like the World Series or Super Bowl or World Cup, it isn't so much the victor (although we love it when our team wins) so much as the competition itself. Which is why we plan parties around watching these sporting events (and the AI finale) - that's the part we're interested in. And once the championship is over, we (as people) aren't interested in past glories. We want next season to start, so we can get back to cheering. And so we don't really care who wins in AI - not once the season's over, anyway. Adam and Kris and all the rest will simply be names added to the roster of alumni, and everybody will be choosing new faves next year to squeal over.

People are interesting. :)

I don't like it either. The auditions are hilarious though...love 'em!

I don't have a problem with people merely liking the show...everyone needs some guilty pleasures in their lives...I do, however, have a problem with people who go ape shit about the show. Fanaticism is never a good thing...NEVER!!
 
And Matter of Splatter is right.

That Ruben the Hut guy disappeared in about 15 minutes. I don't think I ever heard a song by him. The Fantasia person got lots and lots of promo but I'm not sure if she ever had a career as anything but "that chick that won American Idol." She might have a low-paying gig on Broadway or something but she's certainly not a "star."

Taylor Hicks is now the punchline to a joke. I don't think I ever even heard of Jordin Sparks, so maybe that one happened while I was in rehab. I remember that there were two Davids last year and neither one really did much.

I remember that iTunes was constantly trying to get me to buy an album by someone named "Bo Bice" that I was told was someone who didn't win American Idol. But I only heard about him while looking at my "based on the titles in your shopping cart, you'll like Bo Bice." Never out in the actual world.

Yeah, I'm sure there are some success stories that I don't know. I know that Kelly Clarkson still has medium-sized hits and Taylor Swift I guess still does well although I've never heard a song by her.

It seems that the biggest stars are the ones who didn't win. Jennifer Hudson won an oscar, Clay Aiken sells more albums than the rest of them put together and sells out stadiums (although now that he's out I'm not sure that still happens).

American Idol is a weird phenomenon to watch... grown adults... men I used to respect... are posting on Facebook about how they're having trouble deciding who they'll vote for.. I mean.. these are men in their 50s. People that I thought had lives getting so involved that they think it "means" something.

But what makes me sickest about the whole thing is that it's really just a symptom of our present world. Fame used to be the by-product of doing something.. you had to sing well, act, dance, write, paint, create.... you had to "do" something. Now you win fame as a prize on a TV show or by making a fool of yourself on Youtube.

I mean, I wanted to be famous when I was younger and worked to make records, make movies... I was on a TV show in Canada... what finally gets me on MTV? Swallowing a hot dog whole. What finally gets me a large following on the internet? Sticking a Dildo to the top of my head and crawling around on the floor of a porn convention.

I mean... ya know?
 
Jasun, MoS, I once thought as you did. That it was silly that these "popular favorites" couldn't support music careers after the show was over. But, as I said previously in the thread, for the vast majority of AI viewers, the point of the show is NOT to find a new singing star to support throughout the years. The competition itself is the entire point. It's just like sports. The viewers choose their "teams", they build make their banners, and they cheer cheer cheer. Then, once it's over, they weep tears of joy or tears of pain for a couple days. At which point, everybody's ready for next season. They're ready to find someone to cheer for again. A month after the fact, they don't care who American's next singing sensation is...or who America's next top model is, or the next drag superstar. The competition is the complete and utter point of the show.
