Call me what you will....

Stone Is God

I guess seeing the highlights of all the a-holes trying to get their 15 minutes of fame turned me off. It seems to get worse as each season goes on. Some people find it funny, I guess I just find it annoying. It almost seems like the same rehashed crap from season to season. Simon's a dick, Paula is a puddle of emotion, and Randy is a pimp. This is just the impression I get from seeing the highlights and hearing all the talk.

I know that the final contestants are usually pretty good, at least, that's what all the people in the office tell me.

Can anyone tell me what the big deal is with it?

As I said, it just one of those you stumble upon and suddenly can't turn off. But I guess I enjoy it 1) because it's just mindless 2) some of the stuff makes me cringe 3) it's interesting to see if my opinions match the judges'/america's 4) it's clear ryan seacrest hates his job and it's so funny 5) once you get to know the contestants, you really start to root for certain ones and boo others for whatever reasons you might have

I love when Ryan rips on Simon.
Ryan does clearly hate his job.

That's reason enough, right there.

I'm soooooooooooooooo tired today , I hope I can stay awake to watch. I totally look forward to the "water cooler" discussions we have at work the morning after Idol. There are about 5 of us in the office that watch and discuss. It drives about 15 other people in the office completely BONKERS. Now that we know it annoys them, we talk about the show EVEN MORE!!

Sorry but... you couldn't get me to watch 'American Idol' even if it was being projected on Jessica Alba's ass.

I didn't catch michael's performance, but he seemed a little "pitchy" during the clip!

not his best performance, vocals weren't that exciting, but i don't care. he's still my fave.
they were harsh on the guy with the dreadlocks tonight...saying he's hiding behind the guitar....he's still another of my faves.
and that guy that went last with imagine deserved all the praise he got.

I liked david hernandez!

I like all the Davids. David Cook, David Hernandez and most of all David Archuletta. That was one of my favorite songs EVER (Imagine) so i kinda didn't like the way it was arranged but that kid can sing! Jason Castro (dreadlocks) is adorable too. I thought his voice sounded great during his performance.
That LUKE dude has got to go.

that cheesy one with the stripe in his hair has to go first though.

I didn't like the way Imagine was arranged either- it didn't seem like it was actually Imagine anymore, just the same lyrics. But I agree that kid is an incredible singer.

I liked how carly sang Crazy on You last night! what a cool song choice! she sounded good too!

I only caught the end last night. I missed her performance but I saw the clip. I think it's gonna be between her and David Archuletta but I think David will win.

Funny, because there's a Jessica Alba lookalike this season.

call me what you will is right, but tonight's episode was amazing.

jason castro....i love him and his dreads with all my heart....haha. i need to download his version of that song. it kicked serious @ss.

and they were totally right that david cook's 'hello' could be a single. he's got a great rock voice. loved it!

finally there's our aussie....i don't care if he got up there and sang like kermit the frog...he has so much charisma, i just love watching him.

(d arch still isn't doing it for me. he's too breathy or something. )
