Yeah, I'm one of those uppity people that make fun of reality TV and give my wife a hard time for watching it. I checked out Idol last night and apologized to my wife immediately. It was so dman funny. Yeah, Houston did not get a good endorsement in the previews. It looks like they were here during the flood as well.
Some clips are posted here: http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2004-01-13-american-idol-premiere.htm
The funniest person on the show so far has to be Jaqueline Roman. She is listed in the above USA Today link under the worst of NYC. Man she is hilarious and challenges last years Like a Virgin singer as the funniest ever. Remember him?
Anyone else think that the military chick on the first episode deserved to make it? They cracked on her for being crappy at everything - and then just kind of said, ho-hum.
Me too. I've watched a total of about 1 combined our of reality TV before Idol...uh, except a few episode of Real World. But Idol is more like Star Search than reality TV, eh?
So anybody check it out? I kind of watched part of it, then I had to go cheat, I mean, do ****ing calculus.
Tell me about it... I have an exam today(is it thrusday in htown yet) and I procastinated watching the rockets game, and now I realized I dont even know what the hell a derivitive is. Here comes another F
I actually work with George (the guy Simon said seemed old) here at OU. We were all screaming our heads off when he made it to hollywood. He sounded great. Would've given Houston some pride except they put "Norman, Ok" next to his name though.
HAHA, if you think that's pathetic, I haven't listened to this b**** at all this semester. **** DERIVATIVES!!! (especially the damn chain rule) I even ended up going to the UA yesterday to look for teacher's editions. I swear they had every one but the stupid book I'm using. Oh, and **** CHEMISTRY!!! (Only 4 more months....only 4 more months....... )
I agree. Some guys from her division in the Army(The 82nd Airborne) came to our school to sing to us this year. They were pretty good.
aaaahhhhh Derivatives . .. . remember L'hopitals rule the rest is easy Rocket River X^2 derivative is 2x X^3+X^2+c --> 3x^2 + 2x If i had know L'hopitals Rule. . . Freshman Calculus would have been a breeze D*MN REAGAN HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!
Dude, how old is that guy? He reminds me of Ricky from last year's show (i.e. older, talented singer trying to pass for younger). George was pretty good. I watched the show last night. Damn, Houston, you guys suck. Don't make me move back there and kick your no-talented, delusional asses. I had to spend 15 minutes explaining to my wife that my hometown really wasn't that bad.
I just can't believe how stupid alot of these people are for even showing up to audition. I don't even sing yet I know I can sing better than 3/4s of these people yet I still won't audition because I know better. I guess they just want to look like idiots on national TV. Also, how about that first Houstonian to try out who didn't care about anything(he was neutral). That guy is a freaking idiot. If you can't even act like you want it...then why are you there? It's not like they want to hire someone who is indifferent about the whole thing. That guy is lame...go back to flipping burgers at McDonalds while being unenthusiastic about life. The Houston show was absolutely pathetic and disgusting. Houston should be embarrassed about it.
He's actually not very old. He just acts that way. I'm gonna work with him on his wardrobe. Seriously though, he's really a nice person and definitely didn't deserve Simon's negative comments. But I guess everyone says that about people they know on the show.
I like that Simon is honest. However, he's just abusive and takes things too far. Granted, he's supposed to be the "meanie" of the show, but lately, he's just been over-the-top, as if he's bought into his own hype. You can let people down without aggressively insulting them. In fact, in years past, Simon used to do this. If they were good, but not good enough, he was indifferent, offered a "Sorry, not good enough" comment and shrugged his shoulders. This year, he'd tell the same people they were "horrendous and should stop singing immediately." Watching the show last night, he must have called 10 different people the "worst singer he's ever heard." Why you gotta be like that, dawg?
Umm...do candidates actually send in tapes? I don' think that they do or Houston wouldn't have had but three people show up for auditions! Bada boom!
I sang for that dummy-dum-dum Simon, and he told me I was flat-out horrible. But I know I'm not. I know I'm the bestest singer inthewholeworld. I may have no formal training, but I'm definitely the bestest. I have talent. He's so wrong. Everyone's wrong. He'll be sorry when I put out my album ("Can I Borrow a Feeling"). He'll be begging me for a music deal. Idiot Simon! I'll show him. I'll show ALL OF YOU! ... But for now, would you like fries with that?
