American Idol: Country Music Singers Need Not Apply
And we (AI) will make sure adam lambert is rewarded for pissing on the music of Johnny Cash by making him our "idol". Oh yeah, and we're going to boot Michael Sarver off as fast as we fucking can, even though that Reese Witherspoon wannabe sucked waaaaay worse than sanjaya.
I really think the so-called "talent" this year is a big drop off from previous years.

1. Carrie Underwood???
Edited on Thu Mar-26-09 08:21 PM by LostinVA
Kellie Pickler?

And Michael Sarver SUCKED.

He can try out for "Nashville Star."

I liked Adam's "Ring of Fire" very much. And, Smokey loved his song last night.

4. Yeah, don't make her mad. I've heard what she does to ex-boyfriends.
:rofl:

15. Adam's Ring Of Fire Sucked, HOWEVER, If
Edited on Thu Mar-26-09 09:10 PM by Dinger
Someone in Johnny Cash's family says it's cool, then, it's cool, sort of.
Hell of it is, Adam has a great voice, but no, I respectfully disagree, Adam pissed on Ring Of Fire, period.

2. He pissed on the music of Johnny Cash? Didn't the censors get upset?
Seems like whipping it out and taking a leak on national television would be a bad thing.

Not that I have any idea who any of these people (aside from Cash) are...

3. The women are a disappointment this year, but I think there are a couple of guys
that are pretty good. And of course, I'm rooting for our home town boy, Anoop (who was in my oldest
son's class at East Chapel Hill High). Met Anoop's parents who were on the same plane when I went
to CA in February--they were on their way to a Tuesday AI show. Nice folks.

6. Yes, the talent isn't as good
I'm not sure why you say "country singers need not apply." You remember Carrie Underwood, right. Pretty much every season there's a country singer. There may not be any country contestants this year but that doesn't mean AI doesn't want them. They'll take whoever they think will make them money.

I think Adam is a good singer. Danny is the person AI producers are hoping wins.

7. I don't know how Megan Joy was safe
I wasn't a Michael fan, but everyone said Megan sucked. At least Paula agreed with me about Lil Rounds. Megan's kind of cute, but I don't let that cloud my judgment. She must have a lot of young fans calling in.

I think they should drop the pretense of country with "country week," especially how things are going.

8. BTW, I still like Alison, Matt, and Lil Rounds
Sometimes Anoop. One of my faves was voted off, and admittedly she didn't have the best song choices.

9. Sometimes when someone does so bad
people call in to vote for them because they know that contestant will need votes. Someone like Michael, who is fairly boring, is more likely to be overlooked all together.

10. Yes, and also Vote For The Worst
Edited on Thu Mar-26-09 08:32 PM by mvd
Didn't think of that. They usually have success at this stage.

11. I'm not sure how much Vote for the Worst works
If their "campaign" worked, the wonderful Tatiana would still be on the show. Seriously, she was so much better than most of the people on the show. Plus, she was entertaining. Megan won't be around much longer...another 1-2 weeks. Scott hasn't done great so he may go next week. Then it will most likely be Megan, unless she surprises us or someone else screws up.

My prediction is Adam, Danny, and Allison will be the top 3. Lil Rounds may make it to the top 3 but I think she'll come in fourth.

13. They focused on Megan this week, though
So it was a win. I think Lil Rounds might be there in the final 3 instead of Alison, but it could be close.

12. Pssssst.... WHO CARES! IT'S A STUPID FUCKING TV SHOW!
Don't like it? Don't watch it! If enough people do the same, it goes off the air.

14. I am rooting for Allison or Matt
There are others I like quite a bit, but Megan, Danny and the sight impaired guy have got to go. I am enjoying this season far more that I really feel comfortable admitting. I do agree that this year the fellows are better than the girls.

18. Thanks for posting this.
I thought it was on at 9:00 tonight and missed the results.


I thought it would be Megan, too. Pretty girl, but she simply cannot sing!
