Well America fuck you. You voted for Shithead McAWOL and now (spoilers)

[Rabrrrrrr]

you voted for another talentless blowbag fuckwad nothing on American Idol.

Yes, America, it's true - you value style and fakery over talent and substance every fucking time.

Fuck you.

[LostInAnomie]

1. Indeed.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

2. isn't everyone on that show a no-talent, though?

just a bunch of pretty boys and girls warbling drivel like 'aint no mountain high enough" off key

i swear, this decade has done the impossible-beaten the 70s for worst music ever

[Teaser]

4. disagree

Both the rockers were quite talented. The second place finisher, though was not quite as good as the one that got booted weeks ago.

[fleabert]

43. I got one thing to say....

[DS1]

3. I'm just here to say the word "Fuck".

Fuck.

Thank you.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. You said it twice. You said you were going to say it once.

damn you!!

And fuck fuck fuck.

[DS1]

8. I never said anything about how many times I was going to say it.

Fuck. Ha!

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. But also never said that you weren't going to say it more than once

thus, the default of one was assumed.

I know, I asked Bill Frist, and he agrees, and he knows these things.

[DS1]

21. One must never assume a singular default when dealing with me

and my profanity-dropping fetish.

Fool.

I have, however, ceased the use of the the word "Fuck"; starting now.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Yeah, well, fuck you.

Just once, though. I don't feel the need for multiple profanities.

You and your "rules" and inability to be flexible and incessant piling on of verbal detritus.

Pfagh.

[newsguyatl]

6. i hope you're joking

carrie was BY FAR the best, the entire season long...


she's amazing

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Ewwwwwwwww

Although tonight, when she did that duet with flippy nellzell or whatever the hell his name is, she sounded great - and their voices together was stunning! Even so, though, she was all style. She didn't sound at all original.

Even the way she was standing as they awaited the annoucement of who won - she stood like a fucking prairie beauty queen who has really never been trained how to act like a proper lady, just a fake.

[bigwillq]

15. I think so too!

They just need to give her some stage presence. But that's what I think is so cool and good about IDOL. Carrie is just a down home girl with a great voice, who went off to fulfill a dream. Yes, she may not be the best performer on stage (yet) but she'll get there.

She has talent and a great voice and she'll be a great country star.

[newsguyatl]

17. yeh, i've followed the season all along

and when i heard her try out months back, i said she'd win...

she's been solid all season long, and very deserving to win...

[Bread and Circus]

32. She sucks. Go buy her album and waste 16 dollars. Then

flush it down the toilet.

[bigluckyfeet]

50. Is the Show Fixed

I took this article off a TV newsgroup,the article has now been pulled.

Britain's stars shine for Europe
By Jason Nisse
22 May 2005

Ten British-based business people have been named among the 25 Stars of Europe by American magazine BusinessWeek. However, only five of them are actually British, showing the international nature of the UK business community.

Among the more predictable names in the list are Sir Terry Leahy, chief executive of Tesco; BT boss Ben Verwaayen; and Nigel Newton, who signed JK Rowling for Bloomsbury Publishing. More surprising are Andrew Black and Ed Wray, the co-founders of Betfair.com; and Simon Fuller, the pop impresario whose American Idol TV competition was won this year by Carrie Underwood.

[Plaid Adder]

7. They had no choice

Vonzell got voted off last week. For my money, she was about 10X as talented as either of them, but, you know, nobody was askin' me.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Yes! I only saw her once, the night she was voted off, and she was great

and tonight she was FANTASTIC!!

[Bread and Circus]

33. Plaid Adder loves Bush Country music. OMFG, I am gonna die.

[Plaid Adder]

56. What? Are you talking about the same Vonzelle I'm talking about?

I'm basing my assessment on her performance of "Chain of Fools," which as far as I know isn't Bush-Country-Crapola.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. If they valued talent, Vonzelle would have won

she could easily wax the floor with either of the finalists..too bad they don't value blackness

[Plaid Adder]

14. They just value whiteness more, that's all!

Vonzelle was the only one of them that I've heard that I would actually listen to if she wasn't embedded in a TV show. Do not understand why she didn't make it to the final.

The Plaid Adder

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. She didn't do enough soulless, jingoistic patriotic god music

[Plaid Adder]

19. Oh, THAT explains it. Why didn't I think of that? n/t

[NMMNG]

55. Whiteness? Please! Black people won the last two seasons!

Lets not try to turn this into a race issue. :eyes:

[Maddy McCall]

20. She should have been in the final two.

She and Bo, of course. She was a great singer.

[crimson333]

24. which is why the previous 2 winners were black

:eyes:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

45. Nah, the last two winners were black

But she was amazing tonight sitting on that piano. They should record that performance just the way it was.

[sniffa]

11. i'm just happy " " Lost

[Fuzz]

12. My wife watches that show, and all I know is I heard "Let Freedom Ring"

too many damn times coming from the living room to think that she was worthy of winning. That song sucks!!!!!!

[kerouac]

29. ditto here. n/t

[MuseRider]

22. Nah

tell me you do not watch Idol. Rabrrrrrr, you?

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. I felt an obligation to art to watch the final tonight

I also watched the penultimate show last week.

They're fun to watch, because it's great fun ridiculing the performers and especially the fans and the bullshit that the producers make the performers go through.

But they are also EXTREMELY painful to watch because the whole time I"m realizing that 99% of America is watching the show not because of its utter badness, but because they think it's good and that it is important and they get emotionally involved in the assholes who are competing.

That's what helps kill my soul, is that I know most people actually think this shit is good.

[MuseRider]

28. I am by no means

being elitist about this, I am a die hard Survivor fan so I have absolutely no room to talk. I like to watch the first IDOL shows when it is REALLY terrible but only watch them when my kids are home so I have someone to laugh with.

It gives me the chills to think that this is what our society values. Not that there is not a place for it but damn. I hate that crap.

Good explanation. I was stunned I tell you, STUNNED that you were taking this seriously. *whew*

BTW, it is bullshit what they are made to do. Just think where we would be culturally if we weren't force fed stuff the "producers" thought we should like.

[AlFrankenFan]

23. Can someone PM me the winner? Pacific coaster here

I don't want to stay up for it, it's just out of morbid curiousity.

[Jessica]

26. I wouldn't say talentless ...

but I agree that image had a lot to do with this. Teenage girls connected with the cute, trendy blonde & called in so many times their ears were sweating.

Can't believe I watched the entire two hours for that shit. But, what the hell ... this was only entertainment, sort of.

I do love my Bo, though. :)

[Bread and Circus]

35. I love Bo too and I am proud to say so.

[fluffernutter]

30. it's fixed.

and i'm glad that __ won't be stuck with their crappyass contract singing their crappyass songs.

[fleabert]

44. I think he's still stuck with a shitty contract, btw. nt

[Bread and Circus]

31. My thoughts exactly. Speak truth to power.

[valis]

34. Cannot believe it. White red neck trash... Both of them, actually.

[Jessica]

36. Ouch.

I myself enjoy a little redneck from time to time - especially when he sings southern rock.

[Bread and Circus]

37. Really..Bo loves Jim Croche and that takes him out of "white

redneck trashville" for me.

[valis]

38. Dunno, just a druggie, in my view... But all of them sucked,,,

[UrbScotty]

39. YOU HATE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU EVIL ****************************** YOU!

[shayes51]

40. I'm very sorry and surprised that Bo lost tonight.

[Deja Q]

57. Bo is a 'real' rocker. He doesn't need a chincey get-up like Karaoke Idol

If he is real, he'll make it without needing to be a dollarwhore to Idol.

[pagerbear]

41. One suspects you have strong feelings about this.

[fleabert]

42. I knew that the day constantine got voted off.

remember that Clay Aiken has a much stronger career than Ruben these days...not that I like Clay or anything, he's crappy sappy too.

[soleft]

46. Bring back JPL

[mvd]

47. I really thought Bo might have had it when Bo..

ended the performances with a bang, singing with Lynyrd Skynyrd. But my prediction was right: Carrie won because of all the times her young fans vote. No wonder she was never in the bottom three. Still, congrats to Carrie: she does have some talent, seems sweet, did a Dixie Chicks song, and is sexy in her own way (you don't need to be a Jessica or Mikalah to be sexy - they are also sexy, but sometimes I go more for the down to earth sexiness.)

[ignatius 2]

48. A-fucking-men! Well said and pretty much sums up my feelings also.

A man with substance,passion, and soul loses to a pretty little blonde who can sing one note and hold it for a very long time while standing lifelessly on the same damned spot where she started from.

American Barbie doll wins.

[Vektor]

49. They always pick the more "commercially viable looking" one.

Bo had long hair and a beard, and looked like a "hippie."

Carrie was a pretty blonde female whose marketable face will look good on kids' products.

Simple as that.

[mvd]

54. I bet we haven't heard the last of Bo

So chin up to the Bo fans. He could very well have a longer career than Carrie. I doubt Carrie would have done as well on the Nashville Star.

And at least by all accounts, the vote was close.

[Democrats_win]

51. out FAUXED--when you lie with dogs you get fleas! Will U get fooled again

and watch these liars again?
