I so enjoy watching new imperfect talent grow0 -
imagine all those years ago when pearl jam's members first picked up guitars, drums, bass, piano, microphone, or a ukulele, little eddie in a shitty diaper singing his head off, yes/no?
back in the old days they didn't have disposable diapers, so ed and his pals had the clothe ones with the huge safety pins
40 odd years later pearl jam is kicking ass without that prick from england passing them onto the next level of challenges with that ryan seacrest's amazing stuff (whatever that may be)
oh... and steven tyler is a sellout wuss who's music has personally sucked ass for the last 400 years
he may be funny at times while sitting there as a old burnout wanting to sexual penetrate all the women on the show... come to think of it, he's actually the smartest one on the show
all the while old & young people are chewing bubble gum being told what is good and what is trash by foolish folks who should probably be thrown overboard

pandora, don't be silly
im not perfect
i just dislike commercialized shit fests
it is the farthest you can get from raw
hell, i don't even own a tv or dvd player
so it isn't just american idol that drives me nuts
i dislike 98% of all tv and movies and the like
i need my brain engaged a bit
honestly i have watched it a few times and had a good time over at my friends' place
i kept asking myself, why are they into this? why why why?
i kept asking myself if my pals are stupid or blind or deaf
turns out they are halfway inteiligent folks with almost no creativity
their tv is on 24x7... literally
and i like background noise so that is ok i guess, my stereo is on like that too... wasting energy
shame on mefor poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

some of these fuckers can't even clean their homes
that's how uncreative they are
tv's on... gotta watch japanese cartoons whilst 19 cats and dogs and rabbits and fleas all shit and piss everywhere
yes i am blaming american idol for the foulness of this once great planet, now a landfill at some peoples' houses i know
once i catch lice from some of these nasty filthy folks i will have to kick in their tv screen
american idol is on... i can't clean shit while it is on
fine... wallow in disgust for awhile
hell, piss yourself so you don't gotta get up
that's what it is coming too in some cases

nasty started long before tv0

I pretty much stopped watching TV. They cancel the good sci-fi shows without giving them a chance to develop an audience and I know it's because it costs money to make them. I stopped watching reality shows a long time ago. Never watched American Idol because I didn't like watching the people be insulted...don't find that entertaining at all, go figure. So now I play video games. I can play what I want without anyone cancelling anything and sometimes it's like being in the story.
I do wish though that TV would try harder to develop better shows by using real writers/authors writing real scripts with great stories and characters I can enjoy watching. They just don't seem to be doing enough of that anymore. There's a few shows I watch but they'll probably get cancelled so why bother checking out the new season when it comes?

that's exactly why I don't watch any of those shows, what do people get out of "voting somebody off?"
I think it's terrible part of human nature if you enjoy that kind of thing.
So I stick mostly to watching sports myself.Don't come closer or I'll have to go0 -
Reading through a lot of the posts here and what I don't get is are you arguing for why you don't like AI or for why you think everyone else shouldn't like it? If you are saying why you don't like it, then I get it, but you really don't have to try so hard to convince me. If you are trying to convince others why they should not like it, then that is a lost cause, like trying to convince me the color blue sucks just because you don't like it.
I could very easily take some of the posts from here and change out American Idol for something like Hockey - the arguments are still the same, but there will be people that like it and some that don't. It's all just entertainment.0 -

I don't vote but enjoy watching new talent... unexperienced young people trying to fulfill their dreams
insulting was Simons thing and no I never liked making fun of others nor being mean.
That's why this season was more enjoyable for me... it was more positive and loving.
I wonder how many people who put it down never really watched it or gave it a chance?
I think most people can agree.... to each their own0 -

I watched t.v for the first time in three years when I went back to England for a couple of months this year. It seemed that watching t.v was pretty much all everybody did with their spare time. I found it...weird. I was looking at the t.v thinking...w.t.f? Things like 'Britain's Got Talent', 'Coronation Street', and 'The Apprentice', e.t.c.
In this day and age, If anything decent ever comes on t.v then we can just download it later - I.e, The Soprano's, which I watched in China on my p.c. I also just downloaded the complete Bear Gryll's - can't get enough of him
But sitting there in England in front of the t.v - because I felt I had to be sociable, rather then skulking off upstairs - I remember thinking how much I wanted to have a rocket launcher so I could blow the t.v into a million pieces, ala Zabriskie Point:

the struggles for people like eddie? what struggles did ed have that others don't? he spent most of his time on a frickin' surf board!
I don't like those shows mainly because of the people that watch them. they are hoping to be there to witness the birth of the next big thing.
I feel sorry for the people who actually win. they become a joke. have you noticed the success rate of the runners up against the winners? the runners up usually have WAY more success.

it costs millions less to produce "reality". and more people watch it, unfortunately. humanity craves watching others suffer; makes them feel better about themselves. like the brits with the tabloids.Gimli 1993

Another Eddie Idol...a little bit older



"It just makes me think people who watch 'American Idol' are idiots." --Eddie Vedder
During his solo show in L.A., Pearl Jam's loquacious frontman mused on a newspaper article explaining how 240,000 people misdialed when trying to vote for a contestant.I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin
