    I watch AI and find it quite enjoyable. Why do most people on the pit hate this show? Is it because the show stands for basically everything that Pearl Jam is against? I'm thinking yes, but I also think that a lot of people here are closet fans of AI and are too embarrassed to admit it! ;)

    I think most of us can make up our own minds... for me it Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Cowell can't stand any of them... we're talking about a glorified Karaoke contest. Other reasons I don't like the show... Cowell on 60 minutes saying he was more popular than Springsteen, uhhhh, when he can sell out a 2 year world tour, then tell me about his popularity. Clive Davis saying a few years back that the AI singers have more number 1 hits the The Beatles, does he really think we're that stupid that you can compare a collection of singers to one band, who wrote their own music, played their own instruments and are still relevant 40 years after they split up, please. Then just recently Cowell was quoted as saying The Beatles would not win AI, and would have been better without Ringo, well how much more could they have accomplished, really I am sure they wish you were there to guide there careers in the 60's ...I would hope they would never have went onto such a trashy show. It seems to me they people associated with the show bring up Springsteen and The Beatles to try and make the show relevant and their singers relevant, which will never happen.

    I, for one, have little trouble seperating artists from entertainers. One might look and sound pretty, the other actually has something to say.

    sometimes a person just wants to be entertained and what entertains them is a personal individual thing.
    I like Idol- I like music- all kinds and some good entertainers have come out of AI and a couple artists too.

    I logged on to FB last night and I couldn't believe how many people are obsessed with this show. It made me say a little prayer and thank god for my good taste in music. :mrgreen:

    It's pretty sad that entertainment has stooped this low. While I'm not really surprised, because it is television...I will give the creators credit on one thing: They certainly have mastered the art of creating successful shit television that people would eat up like it was their last meal.

    Idiot. In his defense, at least he didn't say he was "more popular than Jesus" and get a freaking backlash from the zealot community.

    I wonder if those bashing never watched a full season of the show and just doing a prejudge without experience after watching an episode or two. thinking its not their thing really.
    I do the same with the reality shows don't really give them a chance cause I think the subject matter stupid- like Bachelor, Wife Swop, Survivor etc etc. knowing I won't like them but realizing some people probably love that stuff.

    I've watched American Idol enough to know that these people are looking for the easy rode to fame. I feel like if they cared about the music, they would work to get their music out the same way other bands do. Times have changed and its not that difficult anymore. I actually get annoyed with these people that claim they have always dreamed of being a singer yet they have done NOTHING on their own to put themselves out there. These people are becoming famous for glorified karaoke. There are some people on the show that have talent but every single one is chasing the fame and fortune, music is nothing more than the path to get there.
