grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 It was 9:30 last night and I was sitting down with a beer after a busy day just flicking through the channels. I came across Fox and "American Idol". I would normally have flicket striaght on with a Nooooooooo waaaaaay, but Simon Cowells comments just the moment I put it on caught my attention and I started watching it. And it was hilarious. Reharsals in different US cities for the American Idol competition with all these losers and bimbos 'singing' and thinking they are just so great. And more often than not Mr Simon coming up with some cracking put down comments. I know it shouldn't be fun, and it's almost embarrassing to admit it, but I had a good laugh. Perhaps I was just in a strange mood. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I find the auditions hilarious to watch too. It's also really sad because a lot of the really, really awful ones actually believe they're going to make it through. It must absolutely shatter their spirit and self esteem to be shut down like that! Link to post Share on other sites
fatchick 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Me too, it is so funny - I've only actually seen some auditions... what happens after that? I suppose not as funny? Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i am also a huge sucker for the auditions. i dont really follow it once it gets serious, but the auditions are really funny. i cant believe that some of the really really terrible people actually think they are good.

kintaro 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I've been out of the US for a long time..long enough not to really know about this show but I was in Honolulu last year having dinner at a Toni Roma's and suddenly the tv's started broadcasting American Idol. To my shock, everyone in the restaurant (and it was packed), stopped eating (except me), and watched with enthusiasm. Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I saw some of that last week and agree it was really entertaining. There sure are some really mixed up people. I'm not sure I'll enjoy the competition itself but those auditions were funny. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I've been watching it too. Been laughing out loud at home by myself. A few of the omments by Simon that stuck in my head: after rejecting one fat guy, "just as well, we couldn't have afforded the food bill." "Get out, you've actually given me a headache" "You sound like a drowing cat" "even the out of tune notes were out of tune" Love it! Link to post Share on other sites
smellyfeet 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Saw that too. Very funny. Whens it on next? Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I watched that last night before the moguls anyway. Quite funny. Link to post Share on other sites
uggggllllyyyy 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 My favourite is the "Brains Trust" and the muppet who was trying to say that he was an entreprenure. "I'm a architec-prenure".... Classic stuff Link to post Share on other sites
Nonconductor I. Gracing 0 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Classic Simon comment last night. Some chick singing "Unbreak My Heart". "Ironically, you made that song sound scary" Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 How long does this go on for? I suppose it gets less interesting now they are down to really fairly decent singers. (Or not?) Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I think there's some more drama ahead. They are all put into groups and have to work together etc. A lot more fun left. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 I see. That's good. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Anyone still watching it? I am. Sad but I've changed my private lessons around to keep Wednesday nights free!! Link to post Share on other sites
echineko 1 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I watch it! That Chicken Little guy last week was funny! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 It's not as fun now what the auditions are over - I'm vidding it and basically just watching the comments Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 i still watch it mostly for the comments. dont really watch the elimination show though. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Who do you reckon will win? I think it's be baldy "Rock Dude". (I might be saying that because he is the least cring-worthy, but.....) Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 They were all pretty awful last night, hey? Still can't see how that Katherine lady ended up in the "Worst 3". Simon looked liked he wanted to be elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Simon makes the show worth watching. Guys: I'd say the bald "rock dude" or grey guy(I just hope it isn't the red neck). Girls: ??? Link to post Share on other sites
SplendidSeekerOfMatferon6 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Surely that cowboy guy will get voted off soon. He is truly awful. I think it'll be rock guy or grey guy as well. Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'm really surprised that Katherine girl was in the bottom 2 last time. It wasn't very good this week was it? Simon is very funny. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I think it will be the rock guy too (Chris). Hope so anyway. Girlswise I think the blond country girl is so funny - Simon called her a minx but she said I'm not a fur coat or something like that! Clueless. Katherine looks a bit like Catherine Zeta Jones.
