    Does anyone here besides me watch American Idol any.

    If so give your opinion on this season. I can tell you mine already. This season is boring compared with last season.

    keep avoiding the bottom three. He's by far the worst singer of the bunch.

    Spoiler tag added in case you haven't seen tonights result show yet.

    I'm sorry, but I've hated this show with a passion since season one.

    So far they've provided us with:

    Kelly -- who can pump out generic pop like no one else.

    Justin -- Need I say more?

    Reuben -- Fat, and his first single was an ode to stalking. After listening to it I looked outside my window just to make sure he wasn't there.

    Clay -- Dude. . . Just. . . Get your shit together.

    And then some illiterate person won it.

    Add in the scandal of Paula Abdul getting banged by one of the contestants and Simon Cowell forgetting to level criticism instead of blatant ad hominems and of course the voter fraud -- needless to say my opinion of the show couldn't be lower.

    The only good thing to come out of this god foresaken show was Ryan Seacrests hair.

    Actually, scratch that: it's not yet worse then Green Day.

    .. does anyone actually still believe that the show isn't fixed from the word go?

    C'mon you had Daughtrey get the boot, and Taylor grandaddy Hicks won?

    Every year since season 1, when they lost control of Clarkson, the winner of the competition does fuck all, while usually the top 2 or 3 do well (exceptions being season 3, where it completey sucked dick save for Jennifer Hudson. Also, Carrie Underwood did well in country, but let's face it, country music, all you have to do is sing about heartbreak and trucks, and rednecks buy it.)

    Yet...we all still follow and watch it. Except maybe Giovanni. Sometimes I doubt he is a normal human being.

    Hmm... Perhaps he's a robot? The GV-X700 has a nice ring to it...

    Yes that was very very lame, I know, but I don't feel like thinking up any witty remarks, so that's all you're going to get.

    Anyways, I like watching it BECAUSE it sucks so bad. I mean, I think Simon is a little dickwad who didn't get hugged enough as a child or something, but watching him bitch out bad singers and watching said singers leave near tears gets a chuckle out of me every time.

    Maybe not all, but a good number of people who rag on the show, do in fact watch it every time it is on.

    To the viewers: Who the fuck was that dumb cunt crying when Sanjaya was on? I wanted to punt her.

    I only watch the first few episodes, when all the people who think they can sing but are atrocious are on, and then get their hopes and dreams crushed.

    I only watched this season and last season. They actually had people who could sing last year. This year its the fro dude and Dolittle.

    Watched it only a couple times, and that was when nothing else was on and it was repeats of last season where contestants came and either went or got insulted for believing they can sing. Never seen an episode where only people can sing, sing, find it to be to boring.

    I can honestly say that I haven't watched an episode since season 2. I couldn't tell you what day it airs.

    Last season only had like three people who could sing, and neither of them one. Carrie Unerwood is still the best American Idol IMO.

    I disagree with the second part of your statement. The girls are a hell of a lot better than the guys. I think it's gonna come down to Doolittle and that fat, black chick. They are by far the best.

    I am happy to say I have only ever seen one episode of Pop/American Idol/Stars - The very first episode of Pop Stars way back when it started. I heard it and decided it was bollocks, and this is one of the few occasions I've been right about something from the start.

    I may not be fixed, but they try to find the best singers for the songs they've wrote. Its all generic, pop, crap and I hate it. The only good thing to come out of it so far is Cheryl Tweedy, cause she's fit. (I think that's how her name's spelt).

    As far as I'm concerned these shows are on the same level as (most of) the Eurovision Song Contest participants. Though Lordi was very cool.

    Unlucky Aykeel. Cheryl's taken by Ashley Cole. Maybe you still have a chance with the ginger one...

    As for XFactor/American Idol/Pop Idol ... The only good bits are the auditions. Then it gets boring and slightly repetitive.

    No Mandisa(is that spelled right) is the best singer of the bunch. Of the 2 seasons I have seen. Mandisa is the best singer. But the best performer was Taylor Hicks at a American Idol concert in august. But Im from Sweet Home Alabama so I might be Biased.

    Dolittle is awesome and that other girl is pretty good but the Fro Chris is the best after Dolittle.

    I remember that 'World Idol' with all the winners. It was the biggest piece of shit, ever. We couldn't even understand the Afgan girl. :(
