Are you happy that Reuban won American Idol or did you think Clay got robbed??
I think Clay was the better singer, but Reuban is more popular. |

Noooooooo. I even told everybody he was going to win, and they laughed at me. Well, who's laughing now?

I have to ask. Am I the only one who just doesn't care? I think all reality TV sucks.
Just wondering. |

I hate reality TV, too but I got sucked into American Idol. Ruben was my favorite ever since his audition. I am so happy that won.

I think there is a big difference between 'reality TV' (ie COPS, Big Brother, Survivor, Worlds dumbest accidents, The Bachelor etc) and American Idol. American Idol never delved deeply into the feelings of the competitors. It was a singing competition, and was a great opportunity to watch a bunch of talented people performing.
Well done to Rueben, but personally I think Clay was the better singer,

I've only watched this show a couple of times, but it left me uninterested. Some of these people have pleasant voices, but even so, they still sound generic and unoriginal. And how is winning this competition going to do anything for these people's careers (other than making them the center of ridicule). I mean, I haven't heard a single thing about the girl who won the first one since (except some REALLY cheesy ballad on the radio once).

I was out when all the ladies got knocked out. I think this show is an example of marketing genius. Marko, the first girl has sold 1,330,000 copies of her CD. I am thinking Ruben's CD will even beat the first American Idols sales.

I can't say that I like that type of music, but I have to give her props for what she did. This competition isn't about the music, it's about the talent.

Well Chris, I still don't see the difference. And I still don't get the appeal. I mean, think about it. Unless I personally know someone who is competing, why would I care?

On British TV the panel of judges deliberately voted a grossly overweight (to put if bluntly - VERY fat) boy as best singer as they knew he would be a nightmare for the record company to market!!
Very cruel, but absolutely hilarious!! |

Ah, but was he talented? That should really be all that matters. Remember the pre-MTV days when you didn't have to look like a supermodel to get a record deal? It's become about the right 'image' when it should be about the right 'sound'.

Well, as they put it on the show It is a competition of image vs. talent. You had two guys battling for the title, one a big guy and the other looked like a dork for the first few shows and audition. Looks like talent won.

Magix,
I don't personally know Elton John, or The Guys from POD, or Pavarotti, but I wouldnt pass up the opportunity to see them perform. As far as I could see American Idol tried to be less about personality (ie, who cares if you know them or not) and more about the talent and the performance.

Well, Ok, I guess it's just me then. I personally prefer to watch professionals rather than amateurs.

The lad on British TV did have quite a nice, if somewhat 'contrived' voice. From what I've been told the previously rejected contestants did have the power to vote and did this deliberately to try and cause an image marketing nightmare to the record company!
