Yes, I did it again. I couldn't help myself. I watched American Idol again last night. I know, I know, but I felt that I needed to watch the guys since I had talked so poorly about the women last week. This time I actually watched the entire show. The one thing I hate about American Idol. Actually let me rephrase that. One of the many things I dislike about American Idol is the fact that it is so popular. This popularity takes a show which could easily be fit into one hour and makes it 90 minutes of my time gone. Forever. Never to return.
Again, much of this is generalization, so please, all of you AI forum readers, please spare me the e-mails. To me it seems like I have seen all the guys before. No, not on past seasons of the show but rather in a Girls Gone Wild video or some other Mardi Gras video with them all yelling, "show us your tits."
Seriously. All of the guys look exactly the same and sound the same. For the most part they are atrocious and I am thinking to myself, "how bad were the rest of the people they auditioned that these guys made it through."
Again, I didn't really catch any of their names except for Jacuzzi, but to make this more readable I went back right now and looked up their names so that those of you who do watch will know who I am talking about. I will also provide my nickname for keeping them straight in my head.
Michael Johns - GGW guy #1 - awful.
Jason Castro - White guy with dreads. Have I told you how much I hate white guys with dreads? Actually though I thought he was better than the judges gave him credit for and he can play a guitar. He just needs to lose the hair.
Jason, Luke, David - GGW #2-4 respectively. Thought they were all cheesy and hated them all.
David Cook - 25 year old with a comb over. Shave it off and then you will have a chance. Not on this show, but singing at least.
Danny Noriega - Honestly I thought Jessica Alba was up on stage. To be fair though, Danny is actually better looking than Jessica.
Robbie - Bucky reincarnated.
Chikezie - Loved him, and hope he makes it. He won't win the show, but I loved him. Plus he is from LA, so have to give him some love.
David Archuleta - He should just quit now, try and get out of whatever contract they have bound him to as a minor, and then when he is 18, sign with a record company for a bazillion dollars. He is that good. Everyone else should just go home. What they need are 20 of this guy and then everyone else will watch. I am done watching American Idol for this year, but every week after this kid performs I will head over to YouTube and listen to him because he is that good.
haha Danny Noriega and Jessica Alba....Perez Hilton has them side by side photos - separated at birth
ReplyDeleteI hate AI almost as much as Canadian Idol - i never watch them then i have to see these commercials for "artists" i've never heard of being promoted...and i'm like who the hell is that person ...oh they won CI or AI ...........Whatever
Love that little David Archuleta. Most of the other guys suck, but David Hernandez is pretty good, too. You're addicted now, EL!
ReplyDeleteI agree! David A is absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteI kinda like that Jason kid, too. What a doll!
Ha ha. I kept saying last night to my fella that Danny looked like Jessica Alba!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I just admitted that I watch AI too. Everyone is allowed a guilty pleasure...right?
I've only heard Michael Johns sing in the auditions, so for all I know he really is terrible. But from what I've seen of him while he's NOT singing, he's like the lovechild of Michael Hutchence and Mark Ruffalo. Kinda hot....
ReplyDeleteWee David reminds me of a very very young Anthony Keidis....minus the drugs and hookers.
ReplyDeleteI'm de-lurking to agree with you. I can't remember any of their names either and was mostly watching the Biggest Loser (flipping back and forth) so had to look twice at that Danny guy to make sure it was really "guys" night.
ReplyDeleteI did stop to listen to the amazing David kid.
I don't see myself watching this ever again though. I feel somehow too old to watch. Are they all in highschool? How young are they? I guess I"m getting old!
I was getting more and more depressed as he show went on, thinking they did not manage to find one single person with real talent until wee David Archuletta got up and sang. Because he is so good I am now doomed to watch so I can see him pick them all off one by one until he wins and Clive Davis ruins his talent with hype, bad promotion, and tedious pop songs. And how short is this darling Hobbit if he can make Ryan Seacrest look tall?!!?
ReplyDeleteLet me guess after this moving performance Ryan said something stupid, shit flowed from Paula's mouth Randy mumbled something and said dog, and Simon told him he was incredible and could win the contest capped off by some gay remark from Seacrest that was a dig at Simon.
ReplyDeletehey, ent, i don't watch the show, but perhaps if you drink heavily while watching, it won't be an ENTIRE waste of your time!
ReplyDeletei suggest tequila shooters and nachos. maybe chicken wings.
What audieh_1 said.
ReplyDeleteAlthough David Archuleta was good, I agree, he is very clearly The One that the show will hype all season, and just thinking about it has me tired already.
I'm one of those cornballs who just honestly enjoys hearing these people sing and I stick with the bull year after year for the singing. That's what happens when I don't watch anything else on tv, I stick with what you know. But the producers always find a million ways to take the fun out of even that.
It's not that hard to remember the names ... I think most are named David, and the others are named Jason.
ReplyDeleteBut I predict both Jasons are going home tonight, so that makes it a bit easier.
