I need help. I am so ashamed

[johnnie]

I am STILL tuning in to American Idol. What has happened to me? Please, don't tell anyone.

[imenja]

1. perhaps group therapy?

I could also join you. I TIVO it though and fast forward through the boring singers.

[RagingInMiami]

2. I just learned today that a local Miami girl

is the talk of the town down here cause she made it to the finals or something.

[Misunderestimator]

8. There was one from Tampa, and one from Ft. Myers...

I don't know of one from Miami... but I don't watch religiously or anything, so who knows... :shrug:

[RagingInMiami]

11. Her name is Nadia

They wrote a front page article about her in today's miami herald.

3. ***BULLHORN HONK!!!***

"PUT DOWN THE REMOTE CONTROL AND STEP AWAY FROM THE TELEVISION!"

C'mon son, there's no need for such blatant self-punishment.

[johnnie]

5. I might have to check into it

Some guy just sang "I think I love you". That was bizarre.

Oh sorry, the "check into it" was for the post above yours. The Therapy.
I don't know why I do this to myself..LOL.

[Technowitch]

31. It's called "Masochism", honey (n/t)

[Misunderestimator]

4. But, but, but.... I did too again tonight... and so far, three of them

have been quite good. Too bad we can't just get rid of all the others all at once. It will be excrutiating to keep watching them...

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. I've got a "thing" for Constantine.

I don't know why. Perhaps I am recalling my wild youth. ;)

[Misunderestimator]

9. He's a cutie... not a great singer, but a cutie.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. He's got such sparkly eyes. He could sing the phone book...

:)

[johnnie]

12. I have to say

I've thought Carrie was going to take it from the first time she sang. She was pretty good tonight. She has a good voice imo.

[Misunderestimator]

18. Is she the blonde who sang second (I think)?

I'm only half watching while I'm working, so I don't know all the names. If it was her, yeah, she was great... a little expressionless in her face, but if you shut your eyes, a hell of a lot of expression in the voice. Hope someone coaches her about the face.

Have to say, I'm agreeing with Simon straight down the line tonight.

[flamingyouth]

6. Fenris & I watched part of it last week

Feel free to tease him mercilessly ;)

[Deja Q]

10. Is Nadia still a contender? And I hope Constantine isn't?

[johnnie]

14. I think she is..yeah

I have no idea why Constantine is still on there.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Because of 'desparate housewives' like myself who couldn't care less

about the voice, but are enthralled by the man. ;)

[givemebackmycountry]

13. And well you should be

Put down the remote, get dressed and go listen to some live music somewhere in your town.

None of these people are "idols" anyway.

I bet you like to watch the people who lose, more than you like to watch the people who win anyway.

Right?

Who gives a rats ass about Clay Aikin, Reuben Studdard, Kelly Clarkson or any of them anyway?

I implore you, listen to some real music.

This pop crap, is like crack for your ears.

[johnnie]

21. I don't mind when they get kicked off..lol

I just saw Buddy Guy the other night. My friends are playing out on Friday, and I have been playing in bands for 25 years..so I have seen and played a little live music in my life...lol.
The pop is important too. If it wasn't for pop music, we would have nothing to compare other things to.

[Merrick]

15. Turn that crap off and tune to some decent programming...

Like those Super Nanny shows. BOOHOO! I give my kid everything he wants, cave at a drop of a hat, dont enforce a shred of disciline and now he's a spoiled brat. BOOHOO! buy a cage.

[Sydnie]

16. I must admit -- that mohawk WAS over the top!

and she mangled that song completely!

I watch too ... I need to be punished and sent to my room!

[Elidor]

19. I prescribe: some Reverend Horton Heat

Go download a couple tunes and put that other shite out of your mind. Try:
Big Red Rocket of Love
Slow
Martini Time
Interracial Cowboy Homo Kind of Love

[johnnie]

23. I was gonna go check him out last summer

It went by and I forgot about the show. My drummer digs Reverend Horton Heat a lot.

[Misunderestimator]

22. Oh god... whoever this is singing now has got to go...

my ears can't take any more.

On edit... that was Mikalah ... very bad. (Second edit to correct the ridiculous spelling Michaela.)

[johnnie]

24. She isn't that good

I think she is 17 or something like that.

[Misunderestimator]

26. Not good... no, she's awful. Can't believe she got that far.

If she was five, I'd say she was awful (well, not to her face). Off-pitch, off-beat, no expression, complete fear in her eyes, and no uniqueness to her voice. Just not good.

[johnnie]

28. She was funny in the tryouts

I think they thought she might have a "personality" that people might like. She has just never got the singing part down.

[tuvor]

25. I must put you on ignore.

Idol's not on for another couple hours out here. :(

I watch it and am not ashamed!

[johnnie]

27. I just meant more that I am caught up in a show

ANY TV show is bad to get caught up in, and this is just another reality show. I don't put anyone down for liking it. I know a lot of people do.

[tuvor]

30. No offense taken. Besides, it's the only "reality" show I watch.

Cheers, and keep watching!

29. "American Idol" is part of the Kool-Aid. Put. The. Cup. Down.

Now.
