American Idol Doesn't Work Anymore

Well, technically, that's pretty old news...I thought it was a waste from the beginning.

So we had block votes coming in from the gays and homosexuals who voted for Sanjaya and got all excited when he did his hula dance bit. And half of India voted.

Grow up.

Yo Dawg, the only thing good about American Idol are the ones with the horrible auditions in the beginning of the season. They really are great for a laugh. Other than that, it's a contrived and scripted reality show like all the others.

The music sucks. They should up the ante and make the women sing topless.

I liked it better when it was called, "The Gong Show." All they are missing is "Gene, Gene The Dancing Machine."

What the heck are you talking about? Who the hell cares who gets more phone votes in American Idol? You're complaining that homosexuals can dial the phone? Like you know who voted?

Why am I answering you?

I figured I had to take a look, since there were folks in the office talking about it, and then you hear how it's such a big hit, and all. So I take a look last show, and then tonight.

Oh .... horrible. Sure, some of the singers were bad, but what is REALLY bad is the whole American Idol "system". It simply doesn't work.

I guess I won't be watching the "final".

Though, the guy with the "punk" hair was a pretty good singer. But even the "judges" openly stated they couldn't understand the results . . .

"America" voted. What a joke.

It doesn't work.

Good point --- Washington is fiddling, while America burns and the public is worrying about Idol....

It was a disappointing night that's for sure. Even the judges were shocked.

American Idol? The first few episodes of the show are worth watching- the initial selection rounds, when the judges eliminate the narcissistic ego-maniacs who think they can sing. Beyond that, it's a waste of satellite bandwidth.

C'mon, take a look at past seasons--the cute-but-can't-sing always live beyond their shelf life.
