American Idol - is it really as rediculous as it looks? |

I'm watching (for the first time) but with the sound down and Steely Dan on. I swear I just saw an updated version of The Brady Kids. Please tell me they weren't singing "Sunshine Day."

4. I was just telling a friend on IM that I ran across it channel surfing |

Be VERY glad your volume was down. They were singing Manilow tunes, and singing them horribly. I feel the need to shower, or puncture my eardrums with an icepick after hearing that crap :puke:

6. the brady bunch had better tone and pitch |

I watched it tonight (to punish myself apparently). They were all bad and I hear that they were the finalists from thousands of contestants? YIKES

7. yes, it's crap...we all know that. |
|
the scary part is not the poor quality of the music, but rather the fact that 65 million people voted in the final round.
i wonder if we'll get that many people to the polls in november.

9. i can't watch that show |
|
it is sterile entertainment marketed to walmart america --
it reminds me of "star search" -- the show of my childhood that initiated my hatred toward talent searches -- precious child prodigies belting out horrible show tunes like fingernails on a chalkboard - get shivers up my spine just thinking about it -- ed mc mahon has simply been replaced by paula abdul, that's all
stay away from american idol-- it's bad for your health
just my opinion

10. We've already had the "I'm too cool to watch American Idol" |
|
thread earlier this morning. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1186607I did a lot of punching through the two hour build-up, but that last song that Fantasia sang was filled with such emotional power that one would have to be made of stone not to be moved by it.

Start a thread with what I think is a "shareable" thought, and it turns out someone has already done it (and Matcom at that).
:shrug:
Sheesh, its embarrassing, you know?
