1) Accordion hoe-downs

2) Showing drama where there should be no drama: "Seriously, did that girl even hear her own voice, she blowed and they were as kind as they could be to her. She seemed uninterested in the audition anyway because her family pushed her. This happens more often then not on this suckfest"

3) Rule XX about AI: "If you suck enough, they will put you on the final, which is way so many vocally challenge people compete now. It's nolonger about who is the best singer, but there is this side quest for who can be the worst singer"

case in point, Asian Pimp:

You go, brother!

4) The judges are un-interesting. "In the first video, She's right, i did not hear anything about Randy until AI, and today i was flipping through the channels and saw him performing with Journey: In tight leather, pink vest and sporting a pink and white Polka dot bass guitar. Shocked

Kind of wish i could erase that from my memory now. The only time the judges are entertaining is when they are wasted:

Okay, just when paula is wasted.

5) It's a waste of air time: "The show has been on for 7 years now (going on to 8 now) give it up already! The Title of AI means nothing anyway, look at Chris Daughtry and Clay Aiken, it all depends on who is most willing to sell their soul to Simon Cowell."

I also remember any good show, like Supernatural, showed a rerun because AI was having it's season premier. Same thing happen during the finally too. AI is not only a waste of TV space it stops other shows from playing as well.

6) Ryan Seacrest:

See how his mind went straight to "ZOMG, it's a plastic wang" and we all know Ellen would have none of that . . . it's all you Ryan, it's all you!!!

Sorry about the rant, i'm half asleep and am kind of crazy. and now for something completely different:

I wholeheartedly agree with every statement that you have made. However, one of my classmates and fellow trombone players is one of those AI Clay Aiken types and hes not a fuckass, so if he makes it I will watch. After that it can be canned.

EDIT: Have you seen the Halo How Not to Be Seen?

Well i hope your friend does make it and dish out all the AI evil from the inside. And i just saw that Halo video since you mentioned it. Classic, the buggy part was the best.

Hahaha, oh man, she was so fucked up in that news video. You could tell the anchors were trying to deal with it the best they could. That was awesome. Didn't Anna Nicole Smith act the same way at the MTV movie awards or something before she died? This could get eerie.

I think the reason these winners don't last is because although they MAY be the best singers, most of them are crap artists. They're just going to end up using people to write their lyrics and producers to write their music, and it will just sound like every other pop singer out there. Clarkson survived because she was the only one that didn't sing every song like she was trying to copy Whitney Houston, and I've heard she's had a decent go of working on her own material. The guy who won it this year is supposed to be pretty talented musically, so maybe he'll get popular (though his cover of Baba O'Reily sounded like crap from what I saw).

The reason why some winners/runners up make it and some don't is because they try and make everyone radio friendly mainstream modern pop crap. They put too much creative control over them. In my opinion, two of the best (or maybe just the ones I liked the best) were Bo Bice an Taylor Hicks. They were both solid throwback artists. They should have used them to appeal to the fans of those classic genres. Bice was perfect for that Skynyrd, Allman Brothers sourthern rock style. Hicks was perfect for that blues rock/soul with a little bit of rockabilly. Both of their albums were below average because Simon Fuller's people, instead of going for that ready made fanbase, tried to turn them into pop stars. This is probably what fucked that beatboxer too.

David Cook will probably be alright. He has that modern popular sound. The pop/country singers easily have it the best because they fit what is on the radio.

Fuck American Idol.
