American Idol

[JoshieBoy]

Yorkie talkers, I had a fun time watching the show and chatting with you guys about the show. I am looking forward to watching the next season of American Idol, but right now, I am ready to find another show to watch.

It has been fun chatting here but I don't know if I'll get into it as much next year. I did this last year but I enjoyed the last 2 months of it.

I'm thinking about being in a reality show called, "The Biggest Sore Loser!"

I understand your viewpoint. Not every season is fun to watch. Adam got me watching American Idol this year. Sometimes, the contestants are just not that interesting.

I am downstairs on the computer in the community room with the glare of the sun on the screen so I can hardly see )I get my new computer on Saturday) I hurt my neck & I'm in terrible pain and I am CRABBY.

I just want to thank you NOT for the critique of Tuesday as I asked someone, anyone to do since I wouldn't be home like I did for Linda the previous week. I help people whenever I can, is that so much to ask?? Guess so!!

Also, one person said Congratulations to the Kris fans, thank heavens there is one gracious loser in the bunch, I know I would have been. It's simple math if you lined up 10 people and asked how many liked 'punk rock' you would be lucky to get one.

Yes, I'm crabby and I'm glad. Joan

Hope you feel better soon Joan!

I'm generally not a "punk rock" fan. Never really listened to a KISS song and not crazy about their make-up and theatrics nor am I really an Elton John fan either. That doesn't stop me from enjoying the songs Elton John has written though but I usually prefer others singing it. The duet KISS did with Adam Lambert was fun to watch to say the least. Now it makes me curious to listen to other KISS performances. Much like I was never crazy about Aerosmith except for their one or two songs during their Armageddon release and had only purchased their album based on that one song--had to skip through the rest. They did that slow song amazingly well. For Adam Lambert, it wasn't a genre thing. As a matter of fact, I had started off disliking him but he grew on me big time each week since Top 36 no matter which song he sang. While I started off as a Danny fan, he quickly made me dislike him for what I saw him for and bored me for sounding monotonous each week save one or two performances. He didn't have much if not for the raspy voice--but that isn't a talent. Kris is a nice, sweet and honest guy. He learned to play a couple of instruments. He wrote music prior to Idol and he may continue to write music post Idol. This was a singing competition. Adam was vocally, the most gifted. But again, I wasn't expecting him to win in the end because Idol almost always finished with the "girl next door" and the "guy next door" types.

But I have the right to be disappointed too though I didn't expect to have gotten into it as much as I have. I guess reading those vicious nasty comments left on youtube and similar pages just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and has me joining in the critique. One thing I'm glad for is that it is over. No more idol bashing and hurt feelings. They are who they are and we'll be who we'll be. Life goes on and they've all gained their fame, fortune, and support from this whether it be for 15 seconds or 15 albums or 15 years. It is amazing and crazy at the same time how we can get so attached to some of these people after just following their lives twice a week for several months. Wow, after this, I find my Idol withdrawal has completely cleared. I'm over it already. I am not one to follow entertainment news normally, so I'll just do what I do and listen to the music and artists I enjoy on repeat until their next release.

I hope everyone is now able to enjoy the summer weather now that AI's over. I know for me at least there's nothing much else tying me to the television except for the reality news about a New Zealand couple who instead of getting NZ10,000 (USD6000) deposited into their account, they got a couple of extra zeros to the amount of NZ10,000,000 (US$6.1 Million). And, of course, they chose to disappear with it.

Don't feel too bad Nancy we all have had our turns.
Out of 8yrs this is the first year I got it right
The year Rubin won over Clay I was a $itch for weeks.
Really, I was sure Clay got robbed and I still do.
To this day Clay is my #1. He has a voice like an angel.
His personal life is his but his voice belongs to all of us. IMO

Go Kris

Have a great holiday weekend..


Go Kris

Who are you talking to? You sound very upset. I hope you are not talking to me. I am a very nice and sweet person. If you have something personal against me, why don't you personally send me an email? I hope you are feeling better.

I listen to all genres of music too; I just prefer some genres to others. I read many comments on the internet that people saying that they did not vote for Adam, because they did not care for his genre of music. If you do not enjoy listening to a particular type of music, then that is OK. No one should feel bad for being themselves and not being a carbon copy of somebody else. I know there were other factors that contributed to why Kris won. Kris won and I am happy for him even though I was rooting for Adam.

When I read your post, I thought you were talking to me, because I told everybody thank you for chatting with me on the forum. Chatting with everybody on this thread made watching American Idol more fun. Thanks for replying back to my post.
