Rag-Doll 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well if no one else is going to start this thread I might as well. so, the gang is back this year but with a new judge who is pretty easy on the eye, but seems like she would be a complete bitch. Maybe this has been obvious to everyone for ages, but it has only just occurred to me - the people who are obviously crushed by being laughed at or turned down by the judges are actually treated pretty poorly. They've probably turned up thinking they don't really have much of a chance, but are having a go any way. Because they're a little deluded and are sufficiently oddball enough to make good TV they get through the preliminary rounds. It takes all day so they're thinking, hey, I just might have chance at this. And on it goes until they get to the pannel and it turns out that they're there for the joke factor. They've seen the show they know how it goes down. All day thinking, wow I'm in with a chance and then with the cameras and the starts and etc. they get hit with the punch line - you're a joke! Not very nice at all. Of course there are some people who are genuinely deluded but not all of them. Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I agree G. I have been watching each episode and sometimes just cringe when some people who are obviously a bit special needs give what they think is a great performance (when really they should stick to singing in the shower)to have the judges laughing, saying they sound like a dog, are they a joke!!! Why can't they just say Thank you but you ar enot what we are looking for THEN once they have left HEY laugh your heads off if you want. As for the new judge YES she is very pretty but I think she is really FULL of her own importance. Still like watching Paula and checking if she is off her face or straight!!

thursday 1 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 there was a pretty good one last night. Salt Lake City I think. And there was an Osmond!!! Not giving anything way yet as it's the prelims and they are stocking up the discards. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Fox in Japan is once again behind. It only starts here this weekend. So please any spoilers put them in spoiler tags! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 WHYYYYYY do they do that? It's very annoying. Even 1 week late maybe understandable, but such a big gap. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It is hard to understand why they do that. It's not as if the translation is a huge job. Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 We will get to see the hollywood cuts just before we leave for Japan. Saw the Osmond last night. What about the 5'7" 16 yr old. There were some pretty good ones on last night. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 It's ridiculous. I want to know the reason behind it too. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 the request that we should not talk about this subject is quite frankly ridiculous. This is a forum of like minded idiots. Don't talk about it until we have had some viewing pleasure sounds rather counter productive. Dunno, how can I resist. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Were you drunk last night thursday? Why's it ridiculous for all of the Japan-based people to not want it be spoilt by knowing the results before watching it? I can see where you're coming from there. I suppose I'll just not reading this thread. Or start an American Idol - Japan one. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The lady in the bikini definitely had talent. That near-blind guy is an obvious stand out with his story + decent voice. I liked the lady in the bikini. Link to post Share on other sites
