American Idol in Seattle

Am I the only one who didn’t watch American Idol tonight? Actually, let me expand that question to: Am I the only one who doesn’t watch American Idol at all? Maybe the first few episodes in a season are fun to watch, if only to see who is making an ass of themselves (or if Paula Abdul is drunk off her rocker). I’ve got too much to do tonight – and wondering what happened to William Hung is not one of them. I “heard” that most American Idol wannabes in Seattle were utter failures, anyway.

Your not alone. The only time I’ve watched Idol was a couple of seasons ago. I only watched part of one of the try-out shows and found it too much like nails on a chalk board.

Once the actual competition begins, I honestly could care less about who wins. I think it is the theme nights that turn me off from the show. No one can sing all the different types of songs they throw at them, so in the end I feel that they gear the theme nights towards who they want to win.

OK… enough of my Idol conspiracy theories.

Is American Idol still on. I must admit to having watched one episode at a hotel bar on a freezing evening in Princeton two years ago, but that mistake has never been repeated.

no, you’re not the only one who doesn’t watch american idol. i can’t stand the show. i heard the winner from last season sing and he’s HORRIBLE. i do admit i like kelly clarkson, but she’s also not as talented as people make her out to be.

Well, that makes (at least) two of us.

I didn’t chris…Id much rather have a root canal then watch any reality TV. Whatever happened to good TV and the 80s sit coms?

No chris you are not the only one who does not watch american idol. I refuse to watch the show.

I’ve NEVER watched that show.

To this day I have never seen a single episode of American Idol. Which is considered heresy by some around here as I live in Birmingham Alabama, which (as I understand) is home to a couple of the winners.

Just can’t justify wasting my life on a soap opera when there’s quality entertainment out there, like oh say Dirty Jobs or Mythbusters.

Nope. Never seen it. But I am looking forward to The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show tonight (missed the premier last night).

I hate A.I. and other “reality shows”. I am still in disbelief when I hear people at work discussing the latest episodes of not just one, but several reality shows that they watch on a nightly basis. They all have practically the same premise, the same dysfunctional type of people on them, so you would think the general public would be over them by now. I’m sorry, but the thought of wasting endless hours of my precious free time watching that crap does not appeal to me in the slightest.

I don’t normally watch it, but I couldn’t resist tuning in for at least a little bit since they were showing Seattle. It was pretty horrific, though, and they kept talking about how Seattle was a “talent vacuum” and how they were never coming back.

I have never watched American Idol, nor do I intend to. The local TV & radio stations play “clips” from the show & that constitutes my exposure to American Idol. In fact most of the “reality” shows are scripted and are not “real” so I have never watched Survivor, Amazing Race, etc. My one guilty pleasure is “Dancing with the Stars”. Now you have heard from at least one American citizen who didn’t watch American Idol last night.

This may be a duplicate. I have never watched American Idol , nor do I intend to. Now you know that there is at least one other American citizen who doesn’t watch.

Oh man, I avoid American Idol like the plague. The last thing TV needs is another reality “talent” show.

I never watch American Idol..BORING.

Nope, you aren’t the only one. Hate that damn show.

You’re not alone, Chris. I hate American Idol. I do listen to Kelly Clarkson. And I’m enjoying what I’ve heard of Katherine McPhee. But if anything American Idol was a point against them when I started listening.

I was in the first 100 people in line at the season 2 auditions in Pasadena. The producers handed me a bullshit contract to sign before they’d let me audition, so I walked away and never looked back.

It’s a terrible show that takes horrendous advantage of its talent.

“Am I the only one who doesn’t watch American Idol at all?”

No, I have never seen AI, nor any of the other “Reality Shows,” not Survivor, Big Brother, or any other one.

Okay, I am a bit slow but watching Simon and Paula on American Idol is not a priority. Watched it a couple of times and it ruined any desire for ANY reality shows. Glad I missed the Seattle night, seems there are too many meanies in real life.

Never watched it. Never will. I find it disappointing to expect good new reporting on real events when I find “A.I. this.” or “A.I. that.” instead of reports.

Disgusting. If I wanted to know what’s going on with A.I. I’d watch it. For all the reporting agencies–you lose with me if you find it “important” to report about A.I.
