    Speak for yourself. I never view contestants on American Idol as "products." How dehumanizing. I have no interest in that B.S. part of the show (business). None.
  2. TV Show Talk
    Let's get real about this season. It's no longer about who is America's singing "Idol." It is now about who is least boring. With James gone, the least boring contestant left is clearly Haley. :)

    Best of night goes to (as usual these days) James! Mr Consistency (now that Ms consistency Pia is gone).
  4. TV Show Talk
    Speaking of Pia... She is going to be singing live on DWTS next week. Great gig for her.
  5. TV Show Talk
    I have to agree. Most of them are already as good as they are going to get. Forget about "growth" or creativity or adventure this year. I'm still holding out a sliver of hope for Lauren but it's fading. Yup, even last year. I raked them over the coals for being such amateurs, but now I'm...

    Just saw an ad on local TV the other day; Taylor Hicks is playing the casino circuit. That's a step up from the smoke-choked bar circuit at least. He's working hard and making a living, good for him. That's probably the best that Stefano can hope for as a career in music too though he doesn't...

    I like Lauren Alaina, both personally and musically. I think she probably has the most potential of anyone left on the show. Having said that, I'm disappointed by her every single week now. Her problem is the opposite of Jacob's. He puts out too much; She doesn't put out enough. Her...

    Casey does put his own spin on songs, but it's the same old same old spin every time. Like Jacob he is visually distracting the way he grimaces and makes wild eyes and generally mugs for the camera. That's pretty old by now, but even more importantly, I don't really hear anything new out of...

    Haley at least aimed high, taking on a hit song that a lot of people are familiar with. Also a song with emotional depth. Unfortunately I think she missed the depth. I could see her trying to sing angry but it wasn't very convincing. It's just not her. She's more of a free-spirited party...
  10. TV Show Talk
    I found Wednesday night's performances pretty dull. I suppose James was least dull, as usual these days (ever since Naima left), but even when he's screeching out those impossibly high notes it's hard for me not to just think "Lambert Lite." Adam had maturity, control, creativity, plus raw...

    Stephen Foster Week could be really great. He is one of the great American song writers. Wrote reams of high quality material which can still be relevant today in the hands of creative artists. Shaker Hymns Week could also be interesting. Aaron Copland took a simple shaker hymn "A Gift To Be...
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    No one who counts has concluded that the injunction is "wrong" in any way except for the pre-approval requirement which is going to be taken out now. Nothing else will be changed. The CAFC majority opinion (the one that counts) is that there is a time and place for one party or the other to...

    Something for you to get excited about this week Maruuk: Songs of the 21st Century!
  14. TV Show Talk
    For the most part James Durbin is Adam Lambert light, but at least he's not boring. Not as much can be said for a lot of the rest of this year's crop. Most of them are competent but kind of boring. Jacob is not boring but he is hard to listen to (especially with eyes open). Too much melodrama.
  15. TV Show Talk
    Not a James fan?
  16. TV Show Talk
    Very underwhelmed by last night's show. The judges continue to rave but the performances don't warrant it. Paul was physically lively this week, I'll give him that, but the vocals were not strong. Lauren was just boring and I'm a fan, sort of. I think she has a load of potential but she...
  17. TV Show Talk
    Nicely put Henry. I too will miss Pia a lot, both for her singing and for the classy way she handled herself under the often crude pressure cooker that is American Idol. She will perform on Regis and Kelly tomorrow morning. Idol castaways used to appear on Ellen too, but no longer (or at...
  18. TV Show Talk
    I agree. Didn't think that Lauren did great last night, but overall she qualifies for the top three in my book.
  19. TV Show Talk
    Oops, forgot to post on the new thread. Well, maybe Paul's vocal nodes are a non-factor after all, if they even exist. I doubt that Jimmy I. would encourage him to push so hard, as with tonight's performance, if there were any throat problems to worry about. And Paul's voice did sound...
  20. TV Show Talk
    It seems to me that Casey and Haley's growl is a stylistic choice which they are in control of (for the most part). It sounds (to me at least) that Paul's voice is failing him, both when more power is needed (as in the chorus to rocket man) and also when needed for nuance (as in his final note...
