C'mon son, there's no need for such blatant self-punishment.

5. I might have to check into it |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 08:40 PM by johnnie
Some guy just sang "I think I love you". That was bizarre.
Oh sorry, the "check into it" was for the post above yours. The Therapy. I don't know why I do this to myself..LOL.

4. But, but, but.... I did too again tonight... and so far, three of them |
|
have been quite good. Too bad we can't just get rid of all the others all at once. It will be excrutiating to keep watching them...

7. I've got a "thing" for Constantine. |
|
I don't know why. Perhaps I am recalling my wild youth. ;)

I've thought Carrie was going to take it from the first time she sang. She was pretty good tonight. She has a good voice imo.

18. Is she the blonde who sang second (I think)? |
|
I'm only half watching while I'm working, so I don't know all the names. If it was her, yeah, she was great... a little expressionless in her face, but if you shut your eyes, a hell of a lot of expression in the voice. Hope someone coaches her about the face.
Have to say, I'm agreeing with Simon straight down the line tonight.

13. And well you should be |
|
Put down the remote, get dressed and go listen to some live music somewhere in your town.
None of these people are "idols" anyway.
I bet you like to watch the people who lose, more than you like to watch the people who win anyway.
Right?
Who gives a rats ass about Clay Aikin, Reuben Studdard, Kelly Clarkson or any of them anyway?
I implore you, listen to some real music.
This pop crap, is like crack for your ears.

21. I don't mind when they get kicked off..lol |
|
I just saw Buddy Guy the other night. My friends are playing out on Friday, and I have been playing in bands for 25 years..so I have seen and played a little live music in my life...lol. The pop is important too. If it wasn't for pop music, we would have nothing to compare other things to.

It went by and I forgot about the show. My drummer digs Reverend Horton Heat a lot.

26. Not good... no, she's awful. Can't believe she got that far. |
|
If she was five, I'd say she was awful (well, not to her face). Off-pitch, off-beat, no expression, complete fear in her eyes, and no uniqueness to her voice. Just not good.

28. She was funny in the tryouts |
|
I think they thought she might have a "personality" that people might like. She has just never got the singing part down.

ANY TV show is bad to get caught up in, and this is just another reality show. I don't put anyone down for liking it. I know a lot of people do.

Cheers, and keep watching!
