*sigh*...please no

Bontesla		2012-09-09 10:32:15 AM

The Voice is a better show.

MBK		2012-09-09 10:43:51 AM

Last year, my 2nd and 3rd graders wanted to put on a talent show. They wanted to sing a Nicki Minaj song.

I told them no. They asked why. I said "Because Nicki Minaj doesn't have any talent".

THAT'S HOW I ROLL.

It would be interesting for any potential trainwreckage, but no.

MBK: I told them no. They asked why. I said "Because Nicki Minaj doesn't have any talent".

You are a good teacher and a decent human being.

No, no it won't

Um no, and f*ck the inventor of autoplay video right in his/her f*ckhole.

FloydA		2012-09-09 12:13:21 PM

I don't even need to read the article to inform subby that no, in fact, American Idol will never, ever be worth watching.

El Freak		2012-09-09 12:39:47 PM

Is everyone involved going to be lit on fire at the end of every episode? Then no. No it won't.

Great Janitor		2012-09-09 12:44:36 PM

If they aren't dropped into an arena with bears, cobras, lions, trap doors over pits lined with spikes, panthers, pools filled with sharks and piranhas, and all handed weapons and told to fight to the death against the contestants of 'America's Next Top Model' and the mothers of the girls from 'Toddlers and Tiaras', then it is not worth watching.

jake_lex		2012-09-09 12:50:23 PM

If maybe one of the additions this season is that the finalists engage in a chainsaw battle, sure.

StrandedInAZ		2012-09-09 12:53:32 PM

I'd only watch if I were promised an ending similar to that in the movie God Bless America.

jmr61		2012-09-09 12:55:22 PM

Never in one million years would I reduce myself to watching that shiat.

Never, ever.

Those types of shows have lowered the collective intelligence level of the world.

texdent		2012-09-09 12:59:14 PM

As someone who has watched every single season of AI, I may not watch it this time if Nicky Minaj is a judge.

t3knomanser		2012-09-09 01:01:11 PM

All I know about Nicky Minaj is that she's the black Cher, and I learned this from that Pepsi commercial they played during pre-season football. I keep commercials muted, so I don't know what her music sounds like.

Sounds like two cats bumping uglies at 3:37 in the morning. Autotuned.

/Maybe three

gimmegimme		2012-09-09 01:20:07 PM

Why would she be asked to judge a singing competition? It's like asking Ann Romney to write a Dilbert strip.

Dancing's for monkeys

ThatGuyFromTheInternet		2012-09-09 01:39:48 PM

Maybe if Nikki Minaj did the whole thing topless, it'd be worth it. But quite unlikely.

Marshmallow Jones		2012-09-09 01:39:48 PM

Unless they're going to recreate this scene, then no, it's not worth watching

allthesametome		2012-09-09 01:40:46 PM

If the contestants had to battle one another ala the Hunger Games while singing, then yes it would be worth watching.

Mugato		2012-09-09 01:55:23 PM

Bontesla: The Voice is a better show.

I'm only basing this on the commercials I've seen but what's the farking difference? They're both karaoke shows.

Against my will, of course.

THAT'S HOW I ROLL.

On these shows, talent is unimportant. The ability to influence the purchasing decisions of 14 year old girls is important.

Anything more is just the cherry.

I don't think you're allowed to use 14 year old girls and cherry in the same post.

Y'know, when I read it back in my head, it did sound a bit dodgy.

it is like asking Sandusky to judge the Miss America pageant

Lizardking		2012-09-09 04:42:24 PM

Did not RTFA but no, no it wont. Short of them killing the retards who come sing even though they know they dont belong there, I cant imagine a reason to watch this crap.

ambercat		2012-09-09 06:02:47 PM

Adding Nicki Minaj to anything is not going to make me more likely to watch it. The woman is viscerally repulsive to me, and I'm not even talking about her lumpy pudding butt. I just find her gross, like some kind of troll creature.

Do your friends dance? If they don't dance then they're no friends of mine.
