xTrishaxLynnx Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I can't stand to watch all of the auditions... I'm embarassed for the people who are absolutely ghastly singers and think they can actually make it. I have a better chance than at least half of the people whose auditions they show on there.

Andrea348 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I loved Gina. She should not have gone yet. Her and Melinda are/were my favs. As much as I think Sanjaya is a terrible singer and should not get close to winning, I'd like to see him stick around for just a few more weeks because I always look forward to watching his performance...and seeing his latest hair-do. The ponyhawk was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) I'm a Fanjaya. I'm all about Sanjaya. Don't let anyone kid you -- American idol is not about "singing talent." It's about entertainment. Votefortheworst.com actually has an interesting section about the truth about the auditioning process for Idol. Auditions take place over a period of days, not just some quick process they would like you to believe. They also do some very clever editing to distort reality, and not everyone gets to see Simon, Randy and Paula. A lot of really great singers don't even make it past the first round of screening. They do let some good ones in, but they purposely let bad or kooky performers advance to sing for the judges to add entertainment value of the show. I hope Sanjaya wins so the whole process this show has comes back to bite them in the butt. Here's a video of a girl that auditioned, and her experience. It's very interesting. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gvt1QkCoes"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gvt1QkCoes[/url] P.S. I don't think Sanjaya is a bad singer at all. I think he would fare better with lighter instrumentation or acoustic -- which is why he did well at earlier auditions -- and he should work on projection more. But the way people say he's a "bad" singer is just ridiculous. He's only 17 and people should stop tearing him apart. I think he's handling all of this quite well -- most people could never hack being on a big stage in front of an international audience so I give him kudos for that. If it weren't for Sanjaya, Idol's ratings would be suffering this year, because every year Idol has the same boring crapola every year and it was getting tiresome. And you know HE's the one that people are going to be seeing on the Idol tour, because he, like many successful pop stars, may not be known for their singing ability -- but he is entertaining.

uruviel Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 AI began as a talent show. It's a singing competition as simon always says. It aparently has become just entertainment for the people who watch it now, which is unfair for the people who CAN sing because they don't get that contract, that career that they deserve. Taylor Hicks isn't what I would call an American Idol. I still think Chris Daughtry should have won. But that's beside the point. Likeing someone for their hair is no reason to keep them on the show if this is still AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uruviel Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 and as for being 17, I mean for Sanjaya, that's no excuse with Jordin in the competition. She is amazing. And if Sanjaya can't sing with loud instruments without being drowned out then he doesn't have enough voice, he doesn't deserve the title, so you could say. I vote Jordin.

Ash Wednesday Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 A lot of people that can sing don't get the contracts they "deserve." Is Britney Spears a good singer? Does she "deserve" to sell multi-platinum? I don't think so, but taste is subjective -- that's just the way the music business works. A lot of great singers, probably some that sing better than Jordin, don't even make it past screeners on Idol -- so if this is a singing and talent competition then why do producers ignore really great singers only to allow the infamous Keith or William Hung to make it past preliminary screeners to the judges? In light of the weirdos they allow to audition, what kind of "talent" do they have that made them get as far as they did? At the end of the day, the voting majority decides what this show is about when they eliminate a contestant and crown another. Even Cowell would acknowledge that.

homeschoolmom Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 It's a tv show... As with all tv shows, it must sell soap. Or in this case Fords. Without the sponsors, there are no shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
