"American Idol" rant...
Am I the only one here who doesn't give a shit about the "American Idol" tryouts?

Or "American Idol" as a whole?

1. Nope
"American Idol" is really dumb.

But then again, this is coming from a "Flavor of Love" devotee... :P

2. America does not need more warbling no-talent tone deaf pop stars
I don't beleive in debarking dogs, but I could be talked into it for American Idol contestants.

3. Nope
not my cup of tea, but to each their own, I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who don't give a damn about my tv viewing habits...likes sports, smallville, CSI...i'm sure there are some people how dislike those shows.

4. I like Idol
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 08:44 PM by bigwillq
but only when it gets to like the final 12 or so. Then it's highly enjoyable, imo.

It's kids after their dream. What's better than that?

I know, I know, the show is sooooo overhyped and the hosts are all fools but the basic premise of the show......

that an average person can win a recording contact....finding talent from all across the country.....making dreams come true....

is a good one, imo.

6. No, there are 100s here
I don't happen to be one of them though. It's just entertainment and they are no worse than 100s of other so-called singers I have seen in my life. I lived through disco, so I know what crap is. I don't mind it these days, but when I was a kid I thought it was horrible. As you get older you realize there is room for everyone out there and shows like American Idol don't really bother you as much.
