Besides, we all know that any person able to get past the pre-lim round that we don't even see is either good, or is an absolutely ridiculous producer-chosen person who is thrown into the fire so that America can laugh a little. Besides, this season is by far the closest season up to date in terms of vocal powerhouses and overall talent.

I conclude saying go Adam and **** the haters! xD

Hey look, someone who actually answered my question. -.-

People should not waste their time fantasizing over actors.

No.

The more important subject is the Scrubs is now over. ='(

I is sad.

Honestly, I only watched 3 episodes (or whatever they are called) of American Idol before I thought it was extremely dull.

At least I'm not the one mindlessly calling in to vote on some nearly talentless fool because "OMG HE/SHE'S SO SUAVE."

It's the same with nearly every musician that we're fed to today. But that's an argument for a different day.

i agree sooooo damn much

mtv is the worst at this

Of course it's true. How do I know it gives out false hope? Well, you said that in the very next sentence:

Over 100,000 people were weeded out to get to where we are in the competition

100k+ people trying to get in the show, thinking that their false dreams will be fulfilled, and yet only 30 (If I even recall that correctly; they might have lowered their standards ahem I mean make it easier for contestants now) make it. 30 out of 100k miserable people who think that they can sing...tell me that isn't false hope.

and yes, although I'm sure that Danny is the better talent (over Kris), and that Adam should win because he is an incredible vocal talent and great performer (hence why the show even exists)

Proves my point exactly. You say that this Danny person has better talent, but yet you choose somebody else over "performance skills" (I assume that they have nothing to do with singing/music at all). Also to note...do you ever see anybody who doesn't look like a supermodel in that show? ...I didn't either.

Here's another interesting point that you stated:

Besides, we all know that any person able to get past the pre-lim round that we don't even see is either good, or is an absolutely ridiculous producer-chosen person who is thrown into the fire so that America can laugh a little.

Yeah man, screw criticism. The only thing it has done for us is open our minds to opposing ideas, help correct our flaws, and broaden our perspective of life so that we as a human race can grow. Criticism blows.

PS: I respect your ideas. Do not interpret what I say as a personal attack.

Not at all! In fact I appreciate the sarcasm and thoughts on this. But I think you took me the wrong way on a couple points. I was pointing out that Danny was a better singer than Kris, but Adam is still the best singer of the three. Adam actually sang well tonight except for the **** song that Cara DioGuardi co-wrote (crappy cheese-fest winners song that isn't usually good anyways).

Also for anyone who doesn't think Adam is an incredible singer besides his massive flair shows a sad side that people don't take into perspective how well people can sing just how crazy or obnoxious or whatever you may think of their performance/appearance.

Also in terms of the supermodel thing, let's take this into perspective. As an avid watcher for the past seasons (scratch season 6 but I heard it sucked anyways), I have found MANY contestants that did not have the supermodel qualities, especially in the top 12 (such as people like Bucky Covington, etc.), who were later better-looking because of the many makeovers, clean-ups, etc. that they recieve while in the top ranks!

I will continue this later but I have to depart for my next class lol.

One of my favorite TV shows. ^^

[NFD]

There's going to be one more season.

[revolutionomega]

No, Scrubs is officially over. They had the whole hour-long series finale with the cast and crew screwing around on video. It was awesome
I look forward to seeing more on-screen things from people like Zach Braff and Sarah Chaulke (sp?)
Scrubs shall continue on through re-runs and hype even though there will be no new episodes!!!

I'm in Tokyo.

So the moral of the story is, fuck american idol, and fuck your shitty thread.

[clarinet89]

I used to watch American Idol until I realized that it was draining the life out of me. The judges are the worst. When Simon actually says the truth all of the preteen girls in the audience boo him because he's not worshiping their idols. Paula's incapacitated most of the time. It makes me sick.
