American Idol/Love/Hate
Come on guys, I know I'm not the only person here watching this (especially since I tested the waters on the subject in the chatroom before starting this thread). What to say about it though?
Contestants who stand out for me are...
That weird "rockin' nurse" with the terrible skunk hair. She reminds me a Cher impersonator touring the bars in Tenerife, just awful with the growling and the demented vibrating.

Lots of people are digging the Irish chick. I wasn't bothered about her until this week when she sang Crazy on You. I love that song.

These two are interchangeable. One of them murdered Killer Queen the other night, "She keeps a Mo-ette et Chadron [sic], in her pretty cabinet..."

This guy has the distinction of managing to look like a clown without wearing any make-up:

Oh and of course...

What a dreamboat.
What are you guys thinking? Do you love it? Hate it? Both? Does it go against your libertarian ideology? Do you hate Seabiscuit the charisma-free host?

"A'ight, a'ight, so check it out dog, check it out..."
yeah dog!
I tend to watch this and X Factor only at the beginning just to watch all the freaks, but I totally got sucked into the last X Factor. I even watched The One and Only on BBC1. I have only seen a couple of this American Idol, I only remember that one cute kid with dark hair, he's like 16 or something. And the fruity kid too. I'm bound to watch it this weekend.
More important: ANTM. What's the deal with the awkward girl who can't do anything at all? Why is she still around? Do they think she'll get better overnight? Do they keep forgetting she exists?
UHM, this thread is a mistake, because there is no way i can devote enough time to it. I LOVE AMERICAN IDOL, AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL and PROJECT RUNWAY!!!!!!!!
But, on American Idol, I'm liking the dreds guy, david Archuleta, the irish gal, and syesha. They are my favorites. Thank you Vendetta for doing this.
Clara, I totally know who you mean, and she needs to go, and Clair just needs to win cause she's the best, clearly. I hate, HATE Marvita, and Fatima. HATE THEM.

I like Michael because he chooses good songs but mainly because he's originally from Perth (have to stand by my home-boy). The dude with the dreadies is pretty good too but I don't like how they've prettied him up, his hair is too neat (and is he wearing mascara?). Is the rock guy really wearing a wig?!
The Irish girl is very likeable and I like the blonde one (Kady?) but only when she does Britney.
Oh yeah and the 17 year old kid David is totally a star, he'll probably win (for some reason he reminds he of LeHaHi!).
...I have a crush on THE ABDUL...
...a bird shat in my hair chick...
First of all, it's okay dog cos check it out check it out Moonie is hot for the big dawg, yo, and secondly, HA!
It's okay, I watched Grease is the Word. The whole thing.
Is the rock guy really wearing a wig?!

You can't see his scalp in the parting of his hair, also he is frequently bandanna'd-I say it's a big old greasy wig!

Oh my goodness, they are both MONSTERS!!! And they're super ugly. My sister said something about how she couldn't wait to see what Fatima was going to do about their nude shot and I laughed and laughed.

It's just so...inauthentic. How can I believe in what he's singing now? FAKER!
Clara: HAHA!!!&!¡!!!!!!!!¡$$¿

I just checked the odds and the young kid David Chupachoppa is clear favourite to win. Im going to put some money on the Irish Chick.
Im 3 days behind the US in getting to see Idol but Ive caugt up. I wasnt thrilled with this weeks shows but maybe its because Im not a 70s guy. I think as far as the guys are Danny Noriega and David Cuppachoppa stand out, they were the most memeroable two.
Out of the women its tough to pick one out but Im sticking by Carly. I LOVE CADY- shes not a great singer but shes drop dead gorgeous, infact if I ever got so much as a smile from her I probably would drop dead but at least I would be happy. Move over ABDUL!
Hah! Perfect. I hated Luke last night, he needs to go. and chikeze or whatever his name is.

Good grief I was glad to see the Soap Opera look-a-like go - Luke Whatever. Voice like a neutered penguin. David Archuleta is probably going to win the whole shebang, but he's not the best vocalist out of the men. The former male stripper has him beat hands down - but David has like, a legion of little teeny boppers who will vote for him all the way to the end... then not buy his album. See: Jordin Sparks.
Rather enjoyed Jason Castro's version of Hallelujah, even though that last little line... ouch.
How in the world the Bride of Frankenstein is still on the show is anyone's guess. That hair... that bizarre dancing. She also seems really, really sad about something. Like she might hate being on that show. Jus' sayin...

Im not going to get to see Idol until next Tuesday, my super crush has left the show Cady, Dang she was cute.
I was impressed once again by Carly.
The one who got kicked off last night, I didn't really care.

He was terrible. His voice was like nails on a chalkboard, murdering song after song and Paula blathering on about how great he was? Baffling. I was glad to see him go, as well as that other dude, the one who sang Moon River and made it sound like A Whole New World from Disney's Aladdin, here he is:

What a cheeser.

I liked Cady! She had a lovely big nose, I was sorry to see her go. Oh well, don't feel too bad, your other crush Paula is still on the show, doing that slurring, sleepy thing she does so well. Also I just saw an ad on BBC1 saying that The Apprentice is coming soon!

We've gotta have a thread about it this year, yo.
The thing about American Idol that I'm really conflicted about is the results show. In a way it's excruciating, with those terrible adverts and Jim Carey showing up dressed as an elephant and the Mickey Mouse Club medleys with all of the contestants performing together according to the week's theme and I can't watch! But it's too hard to look away!! Do I like it? Is this what I like? Who knows.
I'm also conflicted about David Cook. His clown-like appearance terrifies me but his cover of that Lionel Richie song last week was thrilling, and then he comes on this week doing The Beatles-meets-Nickelback and I'm scared again. Anyone else have an opinion?
I'm watching the show on ITV2-the sponsorship spots for Chicago Town Pizzas are just awful.
Yeah, he was one of the blah, no-faces for me along with Kristy, they shoulda both been outta there long ago.
I don't get how to format this post. Why is it all in a big block?!

That clown guy thinks he's Pete Wentz - he's going to do every song emo-style. I'm on the side of terrifying. I'm still liking Michael Johns, Carly, and Jason (his performance of Hallalejah was great). I quite like Brooke too.
Yeah, those Chicago Towns ads are bad, the pizzas look so disgusting!
jesus what an ass, look at all that drunk posting and i mixed up idol with project runway, anyway i still like the nurse and the kid with the dreadlocks, its too bad that the stripper guy didn't have a chance to strip before he got booted, he had kind of an ugly face but i bet he had a good body!
THE ABDUL is a bit of a mess but still like her. Us amaged goods should stick together. I only got to see the shows lastnight and once again I liked Carly but I wish she would do something different rather than belt it out each week. That Dolly Patron one was horrendous, if I stand on Cujos tail he sounds better, what a crash.
NICKY For sure we have to have an Apprentice thread, I get BBC direct so I wont have to catch up with you. Give me the Apprentice any day of the week.
he had kind of an ugly face but i bet he had a good body!
What's with the past tense? I think you're taking the elimination a bit literally.
They'd put a lot more into it if they were singing for their lives.
Maybe this is something we have to look forward to in the not-so-distant future. Reality TV!
OMG ANTM.
Maybe I should give it its own thread, but AHHH it was so great last night. I'm watching the re-cap on Sunday to see it all again, it was THAT good.
Dominique and Whitney's "racist" argument?!?! Fucking GOLDEN. The best bit was the end, where Whitney was like "Where's the seran wrap?" and you expected her to go off and play some awful prank on Dominique involving the seran wrap but... but no, she was, uh... she just wanted some seran wrap?
Also, Mahabbarhatta or whatever her name was, I can't remember right now, when she read the Tyra mail (also, the new scrolling Tyra mail's awful for them, they sound idiotic, and when the thing said "LA", as in Los Angeles, I heard at LEAST three "la"s, as in the vocalisation) and she was like "Maybe we gonna be naked. Maybe we gonna be naked in COATS!" I laughed so hard I cried. Later, when she looked so bored in her photo shoot, I figured she was probably thinking "Aw, why ain't we naked? Why ain't we naked in coats?"
I miss Twiggy though, this new judge is a bore and a half. Remember when Twiggy thought that one model, the one who went to Yale, was "out to get her"? That was so great.
The one good thing is they cant vote off THE ABDUL!
Oh my goodness, thank God Claire is gone off ANTM. She was always lactating, dripping boob-juicess all over the friggin house, it was obnoxious. I hope that in her awful belly flop during the photoshoot she landed on her breasts and rendered them milkless. "You don't have to, uh, flop in like that Claire. No. No seriously you, uh, you don't. It's okay just, you don't have to - oh. Well I guess you just...really wanted to...do that...kay."
Also, "H-TWO-OH NO YOU DIDN'T" was just beautiful.
And has anyone who watches the show noticed that Dominique makes inhumanly ugly faces? And does the most disgusting things with her hair? She looks like Robert DeNiro's Frankenstein. It's gross.
I kind of want Anya to go home next. She's boring and albino. However, Fatima's pretty irritating. But then, she causes some interesting drama, and incites such profound phrases as "I have never met a mean African before. You are the first." So maybe she should stick around.
Yeah!!! And I like that usually the editors just let the ridiculous things the models say sort of stand on their own without drawing more attention to them than necessary, but that Mother Teresa one was just so ridiculous they HAD to replay it, and replay it AGAIN with the words written under it...!
I missed Wednesday's show but I hear Stacey-Ann's gone. Phew. She looked like she was made of Lego or something, like, her bone structure was just weird, and her voice usually sounded like some kind of whale mating call. I ALSO heard that Fatz had a run-in with immigration officials or something - I can't wait to catch Sunday's re-cap!
Oh! Other great ANTM moment: "It's really sad for me that in this industry you have to be a size two no matter what you look like." Oh, Whitney. You are DEEP.



I Love American Idol
I have a crush on THE ABDUL. I think the rocking, a bird shat in my hair chick, is entertaining but I wouldnt want to see her win.
My favourite is the Irish chick, not because shes Irish but shes a superb singer.
I will post more tomorrow after Ive seen this weeks episodes.
