I'm going to be in the minority and say no. I rather watch ESPN College basketball games and Nashville Star than a bunch of horrible singers with a one-hit wonder waiting to happen. I really don't care for that show. Yes, I'm female, so what?

I don't think it matters if you're a guy or girl...even with this type of show.

Another one I just realized I hear on the radio pretty frequently is Miranda Lambert - but I cant remember if she was on Idol or Nashville Star.

I've never heard of her, which means she wasn't on AI.

I really think that american idol should have been a one time thing, or maybe have one every two to three years. I think that the talent pool is running dry here in corporate rock america.

*GASP* And lose out on all the cash they get from AMEX and Coca-Cola???? The idea!

















Yeah, I completely agree with you.

Season premier is tomorrow!

I'm guessing that during the preliminary auditions, the ones that allow you to go before the judges, they keep the really good people and for fun the really bad people. So the really bad peope either just wanna be on TV or really think they're good because, well, who would tell them otherwise except for Simon Cowell?

I think they just want to be on TV

it's finally starting... i'm so excited

I really like Zach's voice.

I also feel like a dirty old woman b/c I think he is a teensy bit cute too

OK, I'm going to have to actually watch the show tomorrow night (Wednesday) for the Denver auditions.

Watch for Erica Walters. She and our son went to High School together and were in musicals, choirs, etc. together.

She was a real belter even four or five years ago.

Mrs. DA says she just saw her on tomorrow's promo.

i saw the last few minutes of this show last night. that one girl with the crasy tan was pretty bad. and that one guy that was jumping up and down with no shoes didnt sound that good either, but they let him through anyways.

What was up with the chick that had the awful tan & her equally trashy mother??? Dear God. The girl could barely put a coherent sentence together & when they showed her mom, my jaw hit the floor. Talk about dressing way too young for your age. That woman had to be in her 40's or 50's & was dressed like a 16 yr. old but with really bad hair & make-up.

I think Yvette Gomez went to my elementary school... and probably continued on to the high school choir program that we fed into. It really surprised me that she was so BAD. Her former choir director must have been pissed.

I still don't understand the point of letting in pre-18 year old "crooners." It didn't work for Johnny Redhead in Season 3. The Boy was terrible outside of the Rat Pack genre. I mean I liked the 17 year old that was a good Sinatra impersonator... but he won't be that great outside his genre... unless he pulls an Aiken and just blows every genre out of the water.

I'm rooting for crazy Dave. I wanna see what he does from now on. Or if it was just another gimick.

The "I Shot the Sherrif" police man and the Ashley Simpson meets Paris Hilton meets can of orange paint were hysterical.

I usually don't watch the auditions, so I'll pick up whenever the actual competition begins... In the meantime, this thread with substitute nicely.
