Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 Are you ready for American Idol '08 Peachy?? I don't know, Laurie. It sucked out loud last season, so I'm a bit bitter about it now. However, with this cursed writer's strike, all of my shows are off the air, so I out of sheer boredom I might watch it. Besides, Mags would slit my throat if I didn't watch with her. She's very demanding, you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky 5 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 I will watch, I always do. Did I hear that this year they are allowing singer/musicians? I wonder how that will be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Laurie_ 11 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Oh, I didn't hear that....I like watching the auditions mostly....that's when you get to see all the freaky people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawna 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 I watched those auditions last night. I felt really bad for the poor guy who was obviously a little slow mentally... he tried to sing a gospel (I think) song and it was very weird... but they should not make fun of people with obvious) non-self-induced) impairments.

miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 I, too, had to laugh at that dude. It's a known fact that a stroke patient with a speech impediment may also have the ability to sing perfectly fine. This dude was the EXACT OPPOSITE of that. I don't think he had any disability at all; he was just a HORRIBLE singer. I fell asleep soon thereafter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Laurie_ 11 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 What about that rough lookin girl from Philly, was her name Alexis?....she was freaky, and anyways she's going into "Actressing" anyways.... and then she had a few choice words for Simon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otokichi 9 Report post Posted January 19, 2008 If I wanted to watch a televised Karaoke contest, I'll go to the nearest bar with a Karaoke machine. When I want to see new/interesting musicians, I'm off to "Austin City Limits" or "Soundstage." (And, once in a while, "Independent Lens" or "Frontline.") To underline my point, local folklore has it that a fellow auditioned for a "Star Search" Karaoke contest and lost. He went back to Maui and resumed his "Mr. Tanner" life. A group of his friends chipped in and bought some studio time at a local recording studio and dared him to sing again. He took them up on it, and Keali'i Reichel became known across Maui, Hawaii, and the rest of the world. (So now the barflies sing his songs in the Karaoke lounges.)

_Laurie_ 11 Report post Posted January 31, 2008 "I gave up a chance to sing at the Boston Red Sox Game to be here you know?" That made me laugh... and.. Simon: Has anyone ever called you precocious? Girl: What's precocious mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Praise the heavens that the excruciatingly horrific train wreck that is the 8 month long audition process is over with. Now I can start watching the excruciatingly horrific train wreck that will be the rest of the season. I enjoyed the Hollywood week show last night. They actually spent more than 30% of the episode showing people singing instead of Lifetime movie of the week backstories. I'm a single mom/dad (wear a rubber), my dad died (stay home and grieve, for chrissakes), I live in my car (get a frakking job), my dog died, I had bad acne as a teenager, I was forced to watch Paula Abdul videos at gunpoint...quit yer bitchin, already. Anyhoo, there are too many to suss out, of course, but I am impressed with the 16 year old kid David Archuleta. I haven't fully decided if he's one of the Children of the Corn, but I'll give him a pass for the moment. I don't know how old he was in this clip, but he sang the snot out of this song in front of an amazed Kelly Clarkson. Check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Very funny, Peaches. I am impressed with the 16 year old kid David Archuleta. Please tell me he's NOT that crying little b*tch that told the band to take a hike, completely sucked out loud, cried some more, and then got through to the Top 50 anyway. I think he must be Simon's nephew or illegitimate kid, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Oh God, no, Sammy. I want to smack that crybaby in the mouth for 2 reasons. 1] So that he'll stop all the sniveling and 2] it will prevent him from singing in an affected pseudo-British accent.

TheLizard 1 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 My family watched it. I came in downstairs just in time to watch that Aussie massacre "Light My Fire", which reminded me why I don't watch the stupid show anymore, and also made me wonder why I ever watched in the first place. The worst part was, they said he was good. He shouted the entire thing, and wasn't on pitch once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
