Other Great Reality Shows > American Idol
Critique the Audition Hopefuls!

I watched it last night with my hubby and I thought it was okay at best.
I feel like this is a competion on " The Next William Hung".
Most of these ppl know they can't sing and go on the show just to be on tv. That was funny the first few years but now its just annoying. I don't know if I just got old over night, but I don't have the attention span for this crap :groan:. Paula isn't even into it anymore. At one point she looked half asleep or half drunk :lol:
The best part of the show for me is when they do get to Hollywood. The gimmicks are gone. :woohoo:
Rob:
Well, Paula looked half drunk mostly because she probably was.
But I totally disagree about the auditions. These people have built themselves up soooo much in life, that they don't have touch with Reality anymore. It is so much fun to hear these people sing awful, and I do think that SOME of them think they can REALLY sing. Especially that first girl who broke down. You cannot tell me that wasn't funny? LOL Maybe I am just an ass, and enjoy that stuff, but I still think the auditions are the best.
They are not designed to show the best, that is what Hollywood is for, it is designed to show us th worst. The great thing about AI is that it is basically 3 shows, Auditions, Hollywood, The Finals. Very good show!!

Oh, don't get me wrong. I understand the design of the show, but I am just saying that there seems to be more ppl doing gimmicky things just to be on tv knowing they can't sing.
With they way they edit the show, it dosen't look like the judges are in the room for half the madness that we see. It's like they <judges> are reacting to a monitor or something. I don't know, like I said maybe I am just getting to old. lol
BballKates:
Also they did a terrible job of editing. For example last night when the obsessive AI fan came out you could hear, Denise, the crack baby doing her audition. It just felt predictable and dragged. Also I can guarantee you they bypass good people early on to let lousy people through. In the first round of auditions they heard you into a big stadium and line you up a table for who knows, random camera guys who work for AI to listen to you sing for 2 seconds. I highly doubt they get a good read on talent, it's just ridiculous. Instead of letting bad people through why not actually get credible people to listen to the preliminary auditions.
Rob:
I agree, they need to do a better job at showing the judges. It seems like it is very forced edited.
