Just curious, how many people watched American Idol and what were your thoughts on the show. I am planning on going to try out for AI 2 since I missed auditions for the first one.
My girlfriend and I got hooked on it from the beginning. We loved hearing Simon’s criticisms of some of the people. But some good talent did emerge. Not a bad show, but all this extra stuff they are doing is getting out of hand. I’d say that if you have a good voice, it’s definitely worth a shot. Just make sure you actually have a good voice…you don’t want to end up like some of those people that made the Top 5 worst singers list!
Aww, yes Simon’s critisism was great and rather refreshing because the entertainment biz is a brutal one so at least he was honest from the start. I do have a great voice and I’m currently working on a demo, but American Idol seems like a good way to get exposure and heck if ya win you get a record deal. I’m sure all the exposure the top 10 people got really boosted their careers. Now I just have to figure out which city is closest and get myself there. Tryouts start next month.
I’ve never seen the show I admit, but isn’t this basically Star Search for a new generation? I just don’t get the appeal.
Oh yeah, and make sure you fit the age brackett. I remember one guy was disqualified because he was “too old” to be in the contest. Even if you don’t win, I think it’s a great way to make some contacts in the entertainment business. I’m sure the top 10 and maybe the top 30 all made new contacts which will lead to commercials, movies, tv, radio, etc. So it’s not a bad way to jumpstart a career.
I have MUCH better things to do.
I watched a little bit of American Idol to see what it is all about. It seems they are just looking for another Britney Spears type singer. I’m not into that type of music so I don’t watch the show anymore.
No worries, I’m 22 so I’m in the age range. I dissagree with the idea of them trying to find another Britney. I think several of the top finalists have stronger singing abilities than Britney, yet some of them just did not have the whole package for the entertainment biz.
Well, Teela, if you make it don’t forget your friends here on the forum when you’re rich and famous. And if you’re 22, how about posting a pic somewhere where we can see it…?
Char-dawg…Don’t worry I won’t forget T-Mag and Biotest. My goal is to be an American Idol contestant who has the whole package, in shape, good look, great smile and awesome personality! Now as for a picture of me well I do have a couple modeling web site, but let me get the link first and then I can post it.
Didn’t miss an episode. Kelly was indeed the best, though A LOT of talent god screwed early on. I’d say about 10 got cut early that should not have.
