bax Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I won't start a long-ass rant , butI hate American Idol worse than anything on TV. First MTV came along and started shoving crap bands up our asses and now we have to endure this shit. American Idol is nothing but a fucking hitmaking machine, with all the creativity of a pile of steaming dog shit. This does not bode well for the future of music at all. Bands are handcrafted by the record companies as sort of singing robots like on a frigging Disney World ride these days.FUCK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn_It_Up Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Will be interesting to see who the judges are.Sharon was/is a fellow judge with Simon on "X Factor." Can the Osbournes possibly stay away from this new show? Edited August 10, 2007 by Turn_It_Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised, if they cover like ''Don't Drop That Dime'' or ''American Man'' though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will still defend the show, it's better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) With the bands having the option to perform their own original material, this does bring a different dynamic than IDOL. I mean, if you know you're a special, kick ass band and are extended a stage to rip it up in front of 30 million viewers(typical IDOL audience), then why the hell not put yourself out there? You got Prince, Bon Jovi, Stefani and lots of other major recording artists tryin' to beat each other to the punch in gettin' on IDOL as a guest performer, so that door's already been kicked down to a large degree. Think about it--other than performin' at halftime of the Super Bowl, there is NO OTHER opportunity to perform in front of this size of viewing audience. If it's your material and you can lay the smackdown, I say do it. Would respect a good band's decision either way as I just don't think there's a right or wrong here...

It's not like if you got it and you work hard and long, you're gonna make it. The system is so polluted and mostly about connections and a select number of execs controllin' most of the action.Don't want all our artists chosen this way, but lettin' a mass audience of people outside the industry vote for themselves on a fav band isn't the most unpure thing the entertainment industry has ever seen...

Sweet Raptured Light Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 One American Idol was fine and I personally like Kelly Clarkson, but all the others suck IMO.But to make a whole new show with bad bands is just to far, I mean like making the band on mtv was not bad enough.

krissirge Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 you've gotta feel sorry for the bands,they gain tons of fans in exchange of hatred from some elite moronic music snobs,who probably don't even bother watching the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 National exposure for an unsigned band could cut years of work out of trying to make it...It can also pave the way for boy bands with guitars that 12 year old girls think are cute...and vote for them based on that factor alone.Insincere slush clogging up the charts while the real bands don't get the time of day because this reality show sham is a huge moneymaker and the industry is going to focus on the money and the in-the-moment hype rather than focus on a band with honest,pure...real talent.More fake bands with Good Charlotte haircuts is the last thing the music industry needs right now.
