American Idol last night

[gmanlax7]

bullshit, the network controls the votes, who wins, their contract after that, and definatly a fat piece of the earnings

the winner will be whoever they decide will make them the most money

 

[gmanlax7]

exactly

the whole point of the show is to make money obviously, not only through commercials and the actual show, but taking advantage of the stars they make

just last nite they were hyping the upcoming 'american idol 2' tour

the winner gets a record made, and no doubt someone behind the scenes gets a big cut

the show is a great tool to promote a performer and then make everyone rich

 

[gmanlax7]

actualy what i just said didn't realy make sense

they figure with the last show/record they tapped into the white consumer with kelly, so now they will try to tap into the minorities that didn't buy kelly's record by making ruben , or kimberly, a star

Agreed...Both of those mo-fo's have serious chords,let's not turn them winning into some racial thing.If they win it's because they beat out SEVENTY THOUSAND participents from various talent trials.It could be ANYBODY standing there at the end,from ANY race.They got there and will win or lose based on what they can bring to the table,and the ability to sell music to the mass public.

Clay, Ruben, and Kimberly are all awesome. Ruben hasn't given anything other than a great performance yet... and Kimberly's rendition of WHERE THE BOYS ARE last night was off the scale. If Clay hadn't hit "Solitaire" we'd be talking about her.

Kimberly and Ruben are definitely awesome. They are both deserving of top careers... and I don't think there is any doubt that Ruben is walking out of this into a recording contract.

bullshit, if that was the case the fruity looking dude would be gone.

clay ?

maybe you weren't paying attention, runner up last year was justin, a flaming fruitcake, the winner matters much more then the runners up, because they get the record deal

clay isn't fruity, just boyish, and his voice can't be denied

I think Trenyce has the best "pop-star" look out of any of them. Her voice and presentation are pretty good as well, in my opinion.

I agree.
She is the one with the most complete package.. talent plus looks.

 

[gmanlax7]

she sings out of tune a lot, and is way too skinny

clay ?

how come the one episode I watched simon said basically that he liked to listen to the fruity guy with his eyes closed. And simon is the guy who has major pull on the show besides being the creator.

anyway, I'm not looking to get into an arguement over something as stupid as american idol, however I don't think political correctness has anything to do with who wins. If it's as you say and the network controls who wins, then they will choose somoene who will MAKE THEM MONEY.

 

[gmanlax7]

i think simon said that because clay used to make all those weird faces when he would sing

i don't like arguing over this either, im ashamed i already put this much effort into this thread

please don't tell my friends
