Title: American Idol
Post by: froars on May 16, 2004, 07:21:29 PM
I have been sucked into watching this show - and i'm hooked.  However, the American people have got absolutely no taste and the voting system is the pits.

I've just cheated by looking up the web and found out who went out this week - and i won't say who in case there are people who watch - but i'm stunned.

Anyone else watch?

We've had it on the last couple of weeks in my household. I think the voters must be tone deaf  ;D . Let's vote out the person with best singing voice each week  ??? . Bring back that Ricky Martin wannabee William Hung. Now that's entertainment  ;)  ;D .

Well I was shocked.  That person definitely shouldn't have been voted out.  I had her picked to win it.  All I can say is that everyone in Hawaii must have voted.

Jasmine is a bit of fluff - the tears got her over the line tonight.

Diana is improving weekly

But Fantasia is the best singer if singing is the criteria.

Jennifer was my favourite overall, but she went ages ago.

Swore i'd never start watching such a scam, but i enjoy it now.

Simon would be a Richmond supporter for sure lol.

Sympathy vote.  LaToya was heaps better than Jasmine.

Can anyone tell me what does "props" mean?  And I don't think I'd appreciate being called "dog" by Randy Jackson.

Props typically means items on stage that you use in your act or are settings for your act.

Randy is always doing some hand signal thingy (like the devils sign or that one they do in Hawaii)and thumping his chest and saying "props".  And he called the male contestants "dog".  Don't they speak English over there?

I have never heard him say that - well, they're totally weird over there, so could mean anything.

Julz, do you think there is a bit of bigotry in the comp, cos i just can't understand the 2 black American girls being nominated tonight and Jennifer going a few weeks back. 

I actually got on the web site a couple of weeks ago and bagged the crap out of them lol

Yeah definitely.  But I don't think that poor John Stevens should have received death threats over Jennifer being dumped.  LaToya should have been in the final 2.

LMAOOOOOOO

Props means "to acknowledge an individuals talent"
I would give Richo props after kicking 10.

LMAOOOO@Mighty Tiges' educated guess.

I've seen it over here and its down to Fantasia,The chubby white chick and the cute Philipino bird(who looks like getting the ars tonite or tomorrow)

Did anyone watch the final performance last night?  Fantasia was awesome singing the song especially penned for American Idol.  BTW - I couldn't help myself - and the newspaper wasn't much help - but I know who one.  I'll give you 2 guesses.

Yes they announce the winner tonight Froars.  Not too sure what Friday actually was - final performance before the big one I think.

This Idol show I like but I have not seen any of this seasons. And the thing that has me peeed off is that its supposed to be American Idol not Australian Idol. If I lived over there I would do my best to get him off no matter how good he is. Like that Damian on our Idol. I had no idea he wasn't an Aussie. And if you're not then you should have no rights in being in the show. Go to your own country and try out. I was totally knocked to the ground when I found out that Damian wasn't an Aussie but was planning on it at the next nationalzation day. He should have tried out for the Irish Idol. But I like the show anyway.

I like that Amanda Overmyer, but she's so much like Joplin and sings her songs, wondrin' if she's got anything else in her repettoir that will give her more versatility.  But she's got a powerful set of lungs and would like to see her do well.
