On the lighter side...anybody besides me watching American Idol? I am so pissed!!!!!

I'll watch the first couple of espisodes, the funny try outs. But when it gets serious I stop, if you wanna be a singing star wrong route to take. How many winners have actually made it big, maybe just one or two.

Some but you got a point there...

Jennifer Hudson, Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson.. and that weird guy with the funny eyes seem to have made it big.

You forgot the one who has sold the most CD's....

[Naomi4u]

Oooh yes I forgot about her. She is very beautiful and has a great voice!

Adam Lambert is not doing bad either.

Kit-4-Kat,

You have raised a very insightful son. Congratulations!!!

I watch it every week and I think that america especially the young people vote for the contestants that they have a crush on. I thoughT the top 3 would be Casey, James, and Pia

I remember when the promo came out in 2002 and Tamara Grey was singing that itchy kitchy ya ya da da song and I was with her all the way both she got booted too soon and I know Randy was upset but the judge didn't have saves in the premiere season

Isn't that the guy in all those sword movies, "There only can be one."

Amazing how insightful 14 yr olds are these days. LOL

Your kid sounds like an up and coming idiot if you ask me. Of course, he can't be blamed, 14 years old? What does he know about politics except what he hears from his idiot liberal teachers.

Whoever voted the current AH into office should be ashamed of themselves. Then again, they are the ignorant masses.

The deficit for the year in 2007 was 113 billion, it was 223 billion in Februrary of this year. The country is bankrupt and things will only get worse. Would that Bush was still in office, or his Dad, or Ronnie Raygun.

And the idiot in office just started a third war. God forbid we get 4 more years of Obama. We are already the laughing stock of the world.

Ah, but she didn't... Nobody did.

[Ranchhand]

Unbelievable!!! A nice little thread about a TV show, and someone has to come in and suggest a 14 yr old is a up and coming idiot. Then to top it off you go on a rant about politics. Amazing how some folks on here can turn any thread into a pissin match. Way to go, sure hope you feel better since you got that out of your system.

He is 14 years old... cut him some slack.

WTF does politics have to do with the topic of this thread anyway?

sixx

[saj1000]

I didn't throw the first rock.

And, I'm not blaming the kid, he is simply parroting what he is being told.

What if I signed on and said, "My daughter thinks the current contestants on Idol are bad karaoke singers. She compared the level of talent to the useless tool that currently occupies the oval office. How astute for a 13 year old!"

What would the response have been?
