American Idol. Does anyone care anymore? - GoFuckYourself.com

OMG Jim · 05-24-2006, 10:30 AM

After watching the show for about 2 minutes last night I realized that the show has become nothing more than an advertising medium. I think there is more ad time than show time now!

I think that Taylor is still the most entertaining to watch but to call either one of the remaining contestants an "Idol" is really a joke. The best part of the whole concept is the tryouts. Maybe they should have ten weeks of tryouts and three weeks of competition.

Once you've heard them sing a few times it gets old real fast and most people have already chosen a favorite

I don't think anyone with half a brain ever cared. American Idol epitomizes our society today, and the new generation of teenagers.. In other words, it's all a joke. I myself am only 22 but I have seen a steady decline in generation after generation in terms of tastes in music. You go from 60s-80s, almost 3 decades of classic music, to boy bands, shitty rappers, hot women who have nothing to contribute but a good voice, etc. Put American Idol on in the 80's and it would flop. Music today is a joke and it's been dead for 10+ years.

I haven't cared since William Hung.

axelcat · 05-24-2006, 11:38 AM

nope not me

sweetgirl2006 · 05-24-2006, 11:57 AM

i don't really care anymore either.. i think it just a waste of time for us watching these people sing who cares.

woj · 05-24-2006, 12:00 PM

it's overrated in my opinion...

Funbrunette · 05-24-2006, 12:03 PM

To be 100% honest I only watch the "auditions" to laugh at people...I guess that makes me a bitch!

After that I don't care to hear the sound of Simon Cowell's annoying voice! But hey, that's just me....

See, I can't sing for shit so I don't go out of my way to sing in front of millions of people on tv.

So it's all fair games!

Screaming · 05-24-2006, 12:11 PM

didnt care in the 1st place

Fetish Gimp · 05-24-2006, 12:16 PM

American what?

psili · 05-24-2006, 12:16 PM

I'll admit I dig the show when it begins, solely for the "train wreck" aspect. However, in regard to this season, I think all the finalists suck ass and the music they're singing sucks even more.

I LOVE Little Brown Asses · 05-24-2006, 12:18 PM

somebody cares, the show is signed for at least 3 more seasons.

That and it receives about as many votes as a US presidential election.

me nider

WebairGerard · 05-24-2006, 12:33 PM

never cared for it. if it was real they would have bands and have it be original music not covers. The last thing they care about on that show is music.

L0rdJuni0r · 05-24-2006, 12:39 PM

I watch it every week

PaulB IYP · 05-24-2006, 12:40 PM

ContentSHOOTER · 05-24-2006, 12:40 PM

It's purely a singing competition. Taylor Hicks plays guitar... and his moves don't look so goofy when he's holding one.

I have never been a big AI fan...like ya'll said, just the begining during try outs...then my interest trickles away, but then makes a small comeback for the last 5 min of the final eposode so that I can know who won. Lol

I agree American Idol is a lame show, but you'd eather the youth be purely influenced by MTV musically?

Ironically, American Idol is the only mainstream outlet exposing this generation to music from great past artists (from when music was real).

Otherwise, these kids would never even know these past artists even EXIST.

_andy_ · 05-24-2006, 12:55 PM

I fucking love it. It's my guilty pleasure.

SOUL PATROL! WOO!

KRL · 05-24-2006, 12:56 PM

At 30 Million plus caring viewers a week, that's all you need to be a top TV franchise.

Its just a numbers game and a business, and the producers and network are laughing all the way to the bank each week.

TheLegacy · 05-24-2006, 12:56 PM

after tonight - I don't care

Worldnet · 05-24-2006, 01:40 PM

American what??? Seriously, I have never watched it.

sometimes more...lol

Babagirls · 05-24-2006, 02:55 PM

usually i dont give a shit after the auditions but this year, i fell in love with Taylor!!! hes so humble, hes funny, charming, down to earth, and a voice thats like a mix of Joe Cocker and Stevie Wonder. Hes incrediable. Not to mention those eyes of his, sometimes its like lookin in the eyes of Elvis.

DefyStudios · 05-24-2006, 02:55 PM

Doesnt matter to me really

Holly · 05-24-2006, 03:41 PM

I admit that I had never watched a single episode before and used to make fun of people who did.

Now my family got me hooked on it and I've watched this whole season. I loved Elliot.
