Clay Aiken and Ruben? Neither did anything for me at all. Besides the idiot that won last year, I thought it was a really strong season. There were 4-5 people that I thought were really good. Kelly, Carrie, and Chris Daughtry are probably the best to come out of the show period.
Odd how the only 2 seasons of Idol I've paid any attention to have been, hands down, the worst 2 seasons of Idol. How can they scour America and not come up with anyone more interesting than this?
What a waste of a season. The original song was terrible and the singers were worse. Jordin tried to pull a Carrie Underwood by crying on that last note...shameful. Blake will sell more records? He'd be lucky to land the next Popeye's fried chicken jingle. "What's your flavor (insert hack beatbox) tell me what's you flavor...) Jordin should do great in a Disney production, next time I get to Orlando I'll stop by and check her out.
blake was really good on his 1st 2 songs. But he was very so-so on the sappy song they picked jordin was really good on 1 of her songs, so-so on her other one (fighter), but really good (and therefore a lot better than blake) on the sappy song. So it really seems pretty even. Except when jordin was good, she was awesome...when blake was good, he wasn't quite at that level. So jordin should win. either way, none of them seem from this year like they'll sell to me.. i mean you just KNEW carrie underwood and chris daughtry would..
What a crappy final show. About as lame as the 24 and Heroes finale. And that original song? I call BS on someone actually writing that crap. Seems like they dusted off the old InspirationalSongGen5000 machine (in storage for a year) and fired it up. Because, surely, "This Is My Now" bears absolutely zero resemblance to "Do I Make You Proud", "A Moment Like This", and "Inside Your Heaven".
DUDE! The nickname my wife and I have been calling her all season is DIP, as in Disney Ice Princess (i.e. she belongs in a Disney's Princesses on Ice show). Glad to see I'm not the only one. One of the choppers over at VFTW summed up my feelings exactly with this pic:
Yeah, we all know that 17-year old girls certainly wouldn't be effected by going from just another high school girl to competing in front of a few 10's of millions of people.
Just another high school girl? Huh. I wasn't aware that normal girls recorded albums: ... Or came from millionaire families. ... Or had ties to the music industry and AI prior to coming on the show.
Worst year for AI. Blake is a flavor of the month and Jordin doesn't stand out from the previous AI women winners. Paula needs help.
Why do they need a two hour time frame? They could do it in ten minutes tonight. Gwen Stefani looks like death warmed over.
And........Kelly Clarkson's song choice, mixed with the Paris Hilton hair style, deserves a plethora of rotten tomatoes hurled at her.
