blind-fitter Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm not sure if I've expounded this idea before, but: since American Idol is becoming a bit samey and taste-free, how about a series of "Alternative Idol" covering less obvious ground? You could change the judges while maintaining a roughly similar template: Henry Rollins (Randy), Courtney Love (Paula) , Morrissey (Simon), etc. Get the picture? I think it would make potentially terrific entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 So far I like the girl I heard singing "Barracuda" in the previews, I think she deserves to be at least a finalist from the short clip sample I heard. I really don't llike that new judge already, I've seen her talk on every late night show & she's horrid with the way she addresses matters.

MindCrime Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 In regards to what blind-fitter said, they have a show similiar to that on FUSE called Bodog Battle of the Bands, where unsigned bands compete for a record contract. The judges consist of Johnny Rotton, Bif Naked, Billy Duffy (Cult), Dave Pirner (Soul Asylum) & others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Ok, I watched it. Kenne and Shawna, y'all grow some freaky deakies out there in the desert. Y'know, in this, AI's 8th season, I discovered something totally new and shocking.People think they can sing when they actually suck big time.

I've always maintained that the audience should vote for who they want eliminated, not who they want to stay. Kick 'em to the curb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm rooting for the fox executives to cancel this plight. Yet they won't for there is money to be squeezed from the sad sad American public yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I like the mostly-blind guy... and the Robert Downey Jr. lookalike... they're my faves so far. I'm glad that they're not giving so much air time to the freaks this year. I heard they are doing that intentionally, and although it's fun to watch idiots prove to the world they're idiots, it also encourages said idiots to come out of the woodwork where they would be better off staying.

Levis Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I just saw a song by the current American Idol. He's not too bad... first time they've got a rock type person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Light On Forgetting the Idol thing, listening to this song objectively, I like it a lot. Yep, David Cook is pretty darn good. He's the first winner I can relate to in any way. He does music that I would actually listen to, and I enjoyed most of his performances last year. Plus, he seems to be a fairly normal Missouri boy, and I'm proud of that. I'm hopelessly addicted to this show. I don't have any illusions about the talent of most of the contestants, and maybe some of it is looky-loo trainwreck syndrome, but I'm back into "Idol" mode.

Shawna Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I love David Cook. He's a genius. His hair was hard to look at in the beginning! but they've given him a makeover. I loved each and every one of his performances last year. He'll go down in the annals of rock geniuses for arranging and performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Gokey sang a Mariah Carey song, so he should be eliminated immediately. I bet he does Celine next. I'm pulling for the blind guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ricky Braddy was good last night, as was Alexis. I think they plus Gokey will last this week, although Gokey should have chosen a different song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
