American Idol is pissing me off

[John Reynolds]

Cannot believe what just happened on tonight's show. Un-fucking-believable!

 

[L233]

What's American Idol and what happened on tonight's show?

 

[I.S.T.]

American Idol is a show where they hold singing auditions, pick who they think is best and have them on the show. They sing and people call in and vote for the ones they like. So far it has spawned three or four horrible singers.

I'm pissed off at it for interfering with me regular "That 70's Show" dosage on Fox!

 

[DemoCoder]

I'm pulling for Jasmine.

[DemoCoder]

Yes, she made! Ok, she's not the best singer. But idols aren't always the best singer. (Britney Spears being a primary example.) Jasmine is a cutey pie!

But they also got rid of Latoya, who is a great singer, and cute too!

Part of the problem with Idol is the voting system. You vote for your favorite, instead of voting people off.

What happens is that the very best singers sometimes get fewer votes because people think "Oh, she's definately safe. So I'm going to vote for my second favorite choice, instead of 'wasting' my vote on the best singer, who I know will make it anyway"

You guys watch that crap? I guess you guys watch Top Model too

So... What exactly happened?

Imagine this. Pop Idol started off here in Britain (in the form of Popstars, the first ever series...). We already had like 5 or 6 series. You "only" had 2 or 3..........

Gah, I never liked a single incarnation of this show I can't understand the draw at all, so you get the occasional funny talentless fool they're everywhere on TV anyways.

I had a idea for a new take on the series "Pop Idle", in which a bunch of fat-blokes sit around on the sofa drinking lager, eating take-away curries, shouting at the telly and getting their wives to make them cups of tea. Each week the least slovenly and offensive of them gets voted off the show.

oh, tere would be LOADS of ideas... Porn Idol (which actually does exist), Popcorn Idol, Poo Idol, Pot Idol, POS Idol...

 

[sytaylor]

They flirted with "Rock Idol" and "Hip Hop Idol" apparentley.. but people who like real music wouldn't watch muscians, everyone seems to prefer to watch joe public fail.

And I thought the 'Porn Idol' was just a name of some new gay sex dvd
But I'm almost sure there is a film called 'Porn Idol', or at least in production... there must be!
