American Idol...Pushing too far?
 

Ok, I'm not one to laugh at other people :1orglaugh (Hehehehe! That's such a lie) but seriously, I find Simon and Randy perhaps too harsh!!! Some of the things they say could shatter someones small existence. I agree if you have no talent...DON'T audition, but OUCH!!!!

Don't get me wrong I don't feel sorry for anyone, these idiots all want fame and fortune with or without talent, but the abuse they take is insane!

Well, I laughed my ass off again tonight! Thanks AMERICA

I think I may try out for Canadian Idol...LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! :evil-laug

Can't wait to see it tonight!

:thumbsup

The stages tryouts are just fucking lame. It's not harsh when you were paid to sing like shit anyhow.

Should I ruin it for you then? :Graucho

canadian idol?? not likely.. remember last time we did something like this they were like one hit wonders.

That's my point! :1orglaugh

That's hardly abuse... just the ugly truth. Besides, Simon's harsh comments make the show.

What's too harsh? They want to win, they want the money.
Leave your hurt feelings at the door and bring it!

It's nothing like any one of them would hear on a given day trying to get a demo heard.

Hand holding is not going to help them. It's not like them in the real world. Besides, if they really believe they are good, then they have to work through adversity. Begging, crying or throwing a little tantrum didn't get stars where they are.

I think they are just being realistic and some of the people they show are just desparate and probably a little off, that's for ratings.

:2 cents:

It cracks me up, I only watch the auditions, after that the show gets boring.

same here, that is the only real interesting part of the whole thing to me

I'm with you on this one.

They all seem much more mean this season

They all read GFY and they wana OWN some shitty singers!

they definatly have not found the winner yet

the funny thing is you have to go through like 6 auditions before you even get to the panel they show on TV. They are setting those people up to be humiliated in front of the entire country, right after they sign that waiver of course.

my sister tried to get on the show, shes not a bad singer, actually pretty good, but she didnt even make it to see simon and them.

I bet a lot of that shit is staged

Did anyone else notice some of the same people from past seasons auditioning again?

Paula, Randy and Simon were killing me tonight!

Good stuff!

I've been sitting here laughing at the bad ones thinking that this is the first they've been heard.. but if this is true, then that's just plain mean, setting them up to be laughed at like that.
