Hahaha yeah that could be true!!!

Can't you get it cheaper online?:confused:

 

It's a long story as to why I couldn't - I could probably get it cheaper at a warehouse sale or second hand bookstore eventually, but of course that involves waiting and hoping.

 

I'll read it when I eventually get it.

holy shit

holy shit

 

 

 

:shocked2:

I'm beginning to hate the audition process of this show. Its getting so redundant. Bring on Hollywood I say, thats when I like to watch. :)

You've gotta be kidding - the auditions are the most entertaining part!!;)

:P

What about that guy who thought he was a panther? What a nutcase!!:rolleyes:

^^Did not see that one..

As I said before, the show is very entertaining, the problem being that you are left with the impression you are being "force-fed" singers. That's why I've never remotely felt the urge to buy any albums by any of the winners (or losers, for that matter).

Once the series ends, it's time to move on.................................. ;)

^ Hear, hear! :laugh3:

Oh Indeed Mark..i would never ever think of buying any music created from/off American Idol and all the other ones...

Auditions are over, so I'M not watching it now. Good singers are boring.

I wouldn't say they're all necessarily boring - just unexceptional..................

I can only take people singing Ain't No Mountain for so long.

The show is crap but i love watching it!! well, it will bore me when it's only five contestants left. too predictable.

I don't think anybody's been that impressive so far. The guys were awful, almost to a man!!:stunned:

finally!!!! That hoe girl got booted off!!!!!! She was wack.. and couldn't sing. :)

lol

so tonights show is 'british invasion' tunes...... I am dying to see what the song selection is tonight!! lol

ugh u guys still watch this crap, it got boring after the 3rd season

Brits Invaded "American Idol" Last Night

 

 

Thank God I wasn't the only person appalled by last night's "British Invasion" edition of American Idol.

 

Idol could have given young audiences a nice music history lesson, but as Glenn Garvin tells us in the Miami Herald, they got it oh so wrong.

 

For instance, Simon Cowell, who flippin' grew up during the British Invasion era, admitted to never having heard Gerry and the Pacemakers's hit, "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying." Garvin takes Simon to task for this:

 

How could anybody who claims to know the music business -- especially the British music business -- not know "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying"? It was a Top 10 record on both sides of the Atlantic and one of the first British Invasion hits after the Beatles broke down American defenses.

 

I guess Cowell's ignorance isn't a shocker: a flag-waving Dylan hater and craven businessman, Simon is about as anti-music as you can get.

 

Also, two of the songs performed weren't British at all: "Tell Him" and "I Who Have Nothing" were originally recorded and made famous by American artists.

 

Lulu and Peter Noone were smiling and amiable as this week's coaches. Probably too amiable - the singers didn't listen to a word they said. They'd recommend a song, and the churlish contestants proceeded to do whatever they wanted. Way to mind your elders, folks.

 

Moving on to the often-baffling performances: Gina Glocksen's tuneless version of The Stones' "Paint It Black" was rightfully slammed. Ditto Stephanie Edwards' rendition of Dusty Springfield's plaintive "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," which revealed the limits of the young singer's voice.

 

But Randy, Simon, and Paula inexplicably lavished praise on the atrocities Blake Lewis and Chris Sligh enacted on two Zombies classics, "Time of the Season" and "She's Not There," respectively.

 

The Zombies' lead singer, Colin Blunstone, had one of the great sex voices in rock n' roll, period. When Blunstone sings "What's your name? Who's your daddy?" it's supposed to be a panty-dropping, get-out-the-KY-Jelly kind of moment. Blake Lewis' robotic take on the song was about as sexy as a dead eel. For some reason, he found it necessary to insert beat-box interludes into the song, which Simon and his minions called "contemporary." Sorry, but that was played out in '89, and no, we're not grading you on a curve because you're white.

 

And then Chris Sligh, who made the ill-advised decision to thunder through the audience, shouted his way through "She's Not There." I thought it was as unlistenable as his rambling, Lionel Richie-cum-Coldplay version of "Endless Love" last week.

 

Oddly, I thought the best, most historically respectful performance came from the much-maligned Sanjaya, who dug deep, scarred his vocal cords, and spurted his inner Ray Davies all over the audience. Here's hoping he sticks around a little longer.
