Well, why do I sometimes waste my time criticizing? Is it cuz I have a hair trigger patience? I'm bored and have nothing better to do with my time? Well being frank, somethings are not great in my eyes yet I see people just going ga-ga over some tripe.
Well today I present the biggest abomination of them all, and it's name is American Idol. There are some reasons why I'm not much of a fan of the show and the reasons are as follows.
1-No credible musical acts.
What can I say about a show that criticizes people of being fat, ugly, untalented, and having mental or physical problems, then making fun of them behind their backs. It maybe funny, but these are people in their 40's and are only really interested in a "product" that they can market and sell in magazines, TV, and album covers and many times they are bias because they want to invest in looks that could be sold to the masses.
2- No real artistic choices.
Don't kid yourselves, these kids can't really sing, write a song or play an instrument. Once you sign on to the show the show, label own you for years or until they toss you out like garbage. the singers technically sign away all the write leave everything on the bigwigs hands, from hiring people to write songs, pay royalties when the first rapid produced song and album appears and the record has to be saturated with other people's records and having to have other write songs only because these songs are "hot" and could move the product to the public.
3-People vote, but does it really matter?
Welcome to the cookie cutter show. The producers of the show have an interests who wins because they are dibbing up the cash and want someone that really is eye candy, not really a voice. Notice, how sometimes they say that you sing good but you might want to lose ten pounds or we might turn on you and next week have you kicked out of the show, or you will not sell albums looking like that.
Another one is is you don't change your musical style you will lose, especially on the ones remotely rock sounding. Pop music princess or country really is not my liking of music yet it is what according to them sells.
In conclusion, this is just a popularity contest, the pretty one who can remotely sing wins and takes all. My type of IDOL? NO!!!
 Amazing talent.... underrated stars..., 2007-01-27
this is the season that suppose to set the bar for the entire makings of IDOL... the talent was not the best in my opinion (season 2 and season 4 were the best) but they did set it really high.
the only problem with this season was that nikki mckibbin did not get the recognition that she deserved. she WAS the first rocker in idol history and they treated her very unfairly. most of the weeks she performed were not in her element like the other contestants. where as in later seasons they had rock week, any songs from previous decades, and so forth that the contestants got to pick any song they wanted in there genre they perfered. she paved ways for bo bice, nadia turner, constitine, and daughtry which did not show up until season 4 and future seasons).
the obvious stars shined (tamyra, r.j., kelly) and sum suprised us (ryan, jim, a.j.) and others should have been hit with a get real stick ( u kno who)....i just wish they picked songs that they sang i guess better
i.e. kelly clarkson- "without u" or "
nikki mckibbin- "mary jane" or "black vevlet"
r.j. helton- under the boardwalk
a.j. gil- "the star spangled banner"
good talent its just i wish they got rid of some of the contestants faster.... that means you justin and christina.....
3.9 out of 5 stars
