I Hang my Head in Shame
« on: March 31, 2006, 04:25:45 PM »
I held out for 5 years! But I have been sucked in this year. The evil crack known as American Idol has invaded my house. Sure I said to my wife... I'll try it out, just this once. But then it led to, "so what's on tonight? nothing? well we might as well watch Idol". Then the insidious DVR crept in and ... now I've got the jones. I hate them ... must watch ... but I hate them.

gggaaaaaa!

i was the same way with CSI (the original las vegas)...

then spike tv did reruns every day when i got home from work...

then i the local affiliate stopped showing seinfeld @ 6...

then i started watching the multiple shows on friday nights on spike...


i still won't watch the other ones, it is just the cast of the original that sucked me in :furious

MT,

I did a post last year about Idol and got basically flamed for it.  The turning point for me was last year when there was actually some diversity (singing not ethnicity) in the compitition.

Last year had some good rock singers, Bo Bice being one.  This year there's also som GREAT singers and it isn't all the bubblegum pop crap that you hear on the radio anymore.  

I am not ashamed to admit that I AM an idol fan at all.  There's alot of contestants this year that I am rooting for.

Nope I have DirecTV with TIVO  I can watch what I choose when I choose to and skip through the commercials at whim.  I am no longer a slave to my TV.  The computer is another story.

I'm a fan.

So who do you all like?

I got two fav females: fav for voice only is Mandisa.
Overall for voice and looks: Catherine (long dark hair, sexy)

Fav guy: probably Elliot (the guy Paula called 'funky white guy')

American Idol is a gateway show. You will be mainlining Queer Eye for the Straight Guy before long. Stop TV abuse before it starts!
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

I think Mandisa is channeling Aretha... That girl can flat sing and everyone else is just in it for the looks.

Oh my god... now I have to go do something manly like buy a gun or spit. That should help.

When does that show come on anyway?  My girlfriend watches it, but sometimes it is on all night, other times it is just a half hour... it comes on at different days some weeks.. kinda confusing.  

I only like watching the first couple shows where they have all the people that can't sing but think they can.  THAT is good TV :).

Guns, when you and MT are picking out a place to settle down, I think California will be more tolerant of your lifestyle than Texas will be.  I hope you both live happily ever after!  ;) (err, the wink wasn't meant that way, so don't get any wrong ideas.  I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that!)
