[Movie] American Idol Season 6

I don't see how this show will recover after allowing Taylor Hicks to win.

Tonight's episode kind of reflects what he has done to the quality of contestants. They were neither talented nor funny.

Perhaps it was just the city, but I hope Seattle will pull through.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You know, you would think that the way this show crucifies people each year during the auditions that by now it would become a deterrent for many people, but it seems that more people from the freak show keep coming out for it. I guess they are just so socially inept that they don't see everyone laughing at them.

Seattle was definitely much better for the comedy, but the talent is still lacking. The only thing amazing about the 16 year old was the fact that she didn't look 16. I agree with Simon Cowell that she is just too sweet for her own good.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think (at least for Simon Cowell) the show has remained consistently mean in the past three or four years, but because some of the contestants are so pathetic now that people are starting to feel sorry for them.

But my question is, do you really think that American Idol is the only form of auditioning that is mean? I mean, maybe the only one that is broadcasted on TV for millions of people to see, but I hardly doubt auditioning for other venues outside of American Idol are any less humiliating at times.

I mean, come on. That one guy had crazy eyes. How can you market that while being taken seriously? To top it off, he can't even sing! So, Simon gave him actual reasons (granted, while being mean about it) why he will not be going through to Hollywood.

The way I see it, Randy, Paula, Simon, Ryan, and everyone else at American Idol have zero obligation to be nice or give constructive criticism. They are there to see the best.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
