I sincerly doubt you're even as talented as Prince's poop.

Oh god, they'll either congregate in L5P or the Gwinnett mall. The sewers will be clogged with all the discarded cliches. Get them away! RUN!

Cincinnati had its own 'Cincinnati Idol' and sent the winner to Atlanta. She didn't pass the first (screening) judge (didn't even make it to the trio of judges from the show).

Didn't the last winners have terrible sales and such? Why go another year? Waiting until the winner gets no sales to call it quits?

Who the hell are these people idols to.

Canadian Idol sucks. Ohhhh man.... It sucks indeed.....

Yo yo yo... wazzup dog? We need to raise the bar.

There's two.

"It has always been my dream to have all of my hopes and aspirations stomped into the ground by a pretentious prick, an aging hottie, and a fat man that has to wash himself with a rag on a stick."

"rag on a stick" = Callista Flockheart menstrating.

they should have SbB idol and have contests like boob bigness and beer.

Any Atlanta farkers out there?
I had to put up with these assclowns every day when I went to eat at CNN center. There were like 1803812039817103471 "pretty people" herding around like sheep, crowding in front of Moe's while I'm trying to eat dinner. Every one of them in their American Idol t-shirt. Anyone else see them and want to firebomb?

Junior Sample has always been my American Idol.

And Candy Samples, mine.

The best part is that the ones quoted in the article will be the douche bags that we will all laugh at in Simon's criticism highlight reel.

If you're not a famous star, then you're just worthless crap!

Sweet Christ, make them all go away.

My resume includes the lead in "Les Miserables" - Rachel Holmes, 16, Jonesboro

Umm ... I'm pretty sure the 2 "leads" (Jean Valjean and Javert) in Les Miserables are both men, Rachel.
/applauds junior samples reference

I read this fifteen minutes ago, and now I can't remember anything from the article.

I wonder if the nation is ready for American Photoshop ?

A FARK story complaining about cliches? That IS rich.

Can I beat them up when I'm down there next week for Dragon*Con?

dinosaur1972: The female lead in Les Miserables is Cosette, but there are also two or three other major females roles: Eponine, Fantine, and the inkeeper's wife.

Ooh, DragonCon! Wish I could go.

"I'm a mix of Prince, Teddy Pendergrass and Barry White."

Uh huh. And I'm a mix of Julie Andrews, Marilyn Manson and Dan Rather.

Please.

Yet more trivial crap. What really bothers me are these idiots that can't seem to shut the hell up. I hate it when I'm on the train with 60 other people crammed together and some brainless retard has to start singing gospel or R&B at the top of his or her lungs. WTF are they thinking? Usually its aimed at some underaged slut trying desparately to ignore the dirt bag singing his arse off. That's usually when I chime in with, "Hey, who sings that song?". And when they answer I'll say, "Oh yeah? well let's keep it that way!" Train fights during rush hour are lots of fun.

american idol geek... sf geek...

yes, but just barely.

I am the AMERICAN IDLE!

I guess my point is, aren't there any homosexuals on tv who have class like Rock Hudson did ?

well, not this one:

Ya i'm from ATL.. a group of us often skate past the Dome area at night, and we saw like 1000's of pretty little youngters lined up, half of them practicing their bit to each other.. it was precious

skinink:

Yes. Yes there are.

Bizzerk:

Makes me glad I didn't go to the CNN center for lunch today. I might have had to biatch slap one of those "contestants".

So you're dead, paralyzed and washed up?

There's never a WMD around when it's needed most ...

hey, i'm all for it. this american idol thing creates fads that come and go so quick i don't even know their name.

none of them get a fraction of the advertising saturation that most manufactured bubblegum pop does, and they're over blindingly fast.

the pop culture singularity is coming.

note to self: avoid CNN center this weekend

Kerouac555:Is that a ref to me or total coincidence?

_Shrugs_

Life is full of missed opportunities. If the crowds attending these auditions were met with a WMD, I bet it would STILL take 3 or 4 "events" before some of them would think twice about attending the auditions.

Talk about deepening the gene pool...

Now that I think about it, I should go down there and watch. I want to see these people all excited, truly feeling that they will be the next britney/christina/etc., and then watch as they get torn to shreds and Jamie Farr hits the gong and they cry their little eyes out. I'm giddy just thinking about it.
