I whole-heartedly agree with your choices for top 10.

The soldier dude
The blonde girl with the dad in jail
The girl who sang Billie Holiday and who's family are all singers
Don't forget about the shower singer too....


I have one question.

How do these people not know that they suck.

I have a talent for entertaining. But I can't sing.

I would not enter Canadian, American or any of these "Idol" shows.

Even my hubby noted that the American show if full of the most disturbingly bad people.

I know I'd suck. How do these people know they don't suck?

because they are people throughout their lives that support them and LIE TO THEM.

Include ego into that thought aswell.

From years and YEARS of their parents, family, and friends repeatedly telling them that they are amazing when in fact they suck. It gets in their head, and they continue to believe it until they have Simon bring them back to reality. It's one of the aspects of the show I completely love.... the look on their face is as if their entire existance was crushed before them.

Greatness.

Which is the only reason why that show survives.

I used to find myself horrified at his bluntness and their expressions. Now I love it. Desensitization at its finest

I don't mean to offend those of you who follow American Idol...but I hope it dies...I hate it! None of the winners have really had any success except for Kelly Clarkson...which I believe is well deserved b/c she's an amazing singer.

But it's just like Survivor...okay we get it...now the show can be cancelled. Thank you.

P.S. What ever happened to the deal with Reuben? Wasn't HE the winner of 2nd season? Not Clay?

lisa, he was the winner, but he didn't have near as much talent (in my opinion) as clay, who unfortunately used his new-found fame to destroy himself in the public eye.

I believe American Idol will keep going until people stop coming to audition. I don't think it'll have the popularity factor with participants as it had the first two years, cuz like, you never hear of those people anymore. but people will keep coming. good singers keep showing up. it's weird.

Wait...who destoryed his fame? Clay or Reuben?
I noticed that on the American Idol tours and such they used CLay however...not Reuben. It's one thing for CLay to use his fame to promote himself even as the runner up. But for the competition who named Reuben the winner to use Clay in their "American Idol Winners" umm...concerts, CDs...and such like that...dont' you think that's a little unfair? All Reuben got was a spot on a TV show trying to lose weight. If I were Reuben I would be filing some law suits b/c I'm sure he's not getting what he deserves from his contract, regardless if Clay is the better singer or not.

Originally posted by DigDeep So far, i'd say the blonde girl (with the dad in jail, and the mom who's a slut, and lives with her grandpa on the farm) is my favourite, and has a good chance on making it because.... 1.) she's hot. 2.) she can sing. 3.) she will clean up REAL nice. 4.) she's fuckin hot. Go blondie.

Ok - the brunette from last night (with the mom who's a vocal teach), is going to give blondie a run for her money. If they make it to the final, i say they just fuck the singing, and toss them in a giant tub of chocolate pudding and fight to the death. Oh man.

I completely see where you're coming from, but all the contract is for the Idol winner is the one record with the company. If Reuben hasn't pursued it since then, it's his laziness.

What I meant by Clay destroying himself was that - he put himself out there SO MUCH that he got immediately boring, and he was going all moral and stuff that he got annoying. What I meant by Clay being more talented than Reuben was mostly in his range - Clay could sing up and down the scale backwards, Reuben was REALLY good in his 9 or 10 notes.

It IS unfair that Reuben isn't getting the coverage that Clay received, particularly because he's the season 2 winner. What I believe is that Clay was the more popular among the geeks and those-of-less-confidence, so they use him as a marketing tool more than Reuben.
