SuperKimi 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2007 Yep, it seems like it will be starting this coming saturday, the 18th. What do people make of the show? I personally find the first few weeks a joke because they are going through the audition stage, and 75% of the people who turn up are absolutly rubbish. I think it only gets good later on in the live shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Off-topic, but, I love the first part of American Idol with the Sh#tty auditions, and hardly watch the live shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erinnn 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Shows like that are rigged because they make money when the artist who wins sells albums (at least that's the case with the American one), so they pick who they think will sell the most, especially Simon Cowell, because that's his main job, picking artists who will sell for Sony, I think.

SuperKimi 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but after seeing clips from American idol and America's got talent, there is a lot more trashy people that turn up to auditions than there are trashy people here if that makes sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erinnn 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, there are a lot! They claim all the auditions are serious, but I would not be surprised that half of the trashy ones are just so that someone can get on TV and become well-known or even people payed by the show to make for good TV.

SuperKimi 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, most of the trashy people are A- Stupid B- Brave C- Just desprate to get on the show and have there 15 seconds of fame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erinnn 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah. Me, Eric, my sister Jen, and our friends Brian, Lizzy, Tom, and Alex decided to have a bet and whoever was the biggest loser of the group would have to audition for American Idol wearing a Big Bird suit, but singing a Metallica song in opera-form. Tom lost, we're still waiting for him to go audition, I doubt he will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperKimi 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Haha. I wonder what Simon "i wear my trousers up to high and i have enough money to buy the world" Cowell would make of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erinnn 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, Mr. Skin-Tight Black T-Shirt would probably ask if it was a serious attempt or not. I think Eric and his friends made a short film once called "American Idol" and it featured him wearing a skirt singing and dancing to "Hips Don't Lie," and also him singing "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" and then beating up the guy who played Simon. It was really funny, it was 40 minutes long I think, the plot was basically some shy guy and a c#cky a##hole (Eric) ending up being friends and then going to the finals and stuff, it was hilarious though. They really need to get it on YouTube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When some lady screaching about having a kid when she was 16 is representing our country as our "big undiscovered talent," I think it says a lot about us as people (since we did vote) and about our overall talent level!

Erinnn 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Well, if he didn't do any crimes, then he's actually a good role model who overcame a lot of adversity. However, if he did do crimes, then he is a bad role model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
