Never thought I'd see a post like this on this forum...caught me by surprise...

EDIT: I'd much rather that guy been an idol dressed in black, moshing, while shredding on a spiked guitar.

Um... strange to see this type of thread on this board...

Does it matter who "wins" anyway? The runner-up is bound to get a contract as soon as the contest is over.

True, but its nice to see who the people think is better.

I'm voting for Bo cause his voice has good range and hes a solid singer, and besides, rock > country.

I don't know who they are, nor do I want to. If their talents even approach the level of mediocrity seen on Pop Idol (the frankly dreadful show that spawned American Idol) and the like, then I hope they both spontaneously lose the ability to make noises with their vocal chords...

Isn't that a pre-requisite for entering in the first place?

The only reasons people watch AO are:

A. The really bad singers in the search.
B. People like it when Simon Cowell humiliates a bad singer.
C. The good singers at the end.

I don't watch it myself...

Post by: aldo_14 on May 25, 2005, 05:26:40 pm
Simon Cowell is a complete wanker, though.  Think about it - he's making a ****load of money, and yet has no appreciable talent whatsoever beyond being good at insulting people... and every time you watch it for that, you're encouraging him!

Good point.

All you pop-listening people, here's what idols should look like:

(http://www.ottawametal.com/dimebag.jpg)
The late, great Dimebag Darrell Abbot

(http://www.nolifetilmetal.com/images/randy_rhoads.jpg)
Randy Rhoads. Supreme guitarist, died in one of the most obscenely cool ways imaginable. Got off his face on drugs, went for a joyride. In a plane.

And let's not forget Cliff Burton.
Title: American Idol: Bo or Carrie?
Post by: pyro-manic on May 25, 2005, 05:35:43 pm
Aye, him too. :yes:

I was going to post Eva Cassidy as well, but I couldn't find a decent picture...

And yes, Cowell is a tit of the highest order.

And I mean for EVERYONE at the damn thing.  And all the people who call in, and most of the ones watching too.

The Snuffleupagus has more talent in his left toenail then everyone who has been involved in the production or distribution of American Idol combined.

his band is probibly responsible for the most suicides, murders and church burnings in the history of metal. he helped make black metal what it is today. i really like how the rest of his band desicrated his corpse and used a photo for an album cover, that was a nice touch :D

Euronymous gets the title of "Most ****ed-up Guy in Music", I think. More of an anti-idol than an idol. He wouldn't have liked being an icon...

Erm, he has a point there dude.

Post by: pyro-manic on May 25, 2005, 08:48:19 pm
Not a fan of Vai, to be honest - he's hugely talented, but I don't like his music. Satch has done some good stuff, and some bad. Hendrix is a god, and Slash is very cool too.

As for Randy, maybe he was just very drunk - I'm not sure. But still, what a way to go, eh? :D
Title: American Idol: Bo or Carrie?
Post by: Corsair on May 25, 2005, 08:56:15 pm
Clearly, Snuffleupagus. I have never and will never watch American Idol as I have far better ways to waste my time.

And it seems that the vote is unanimous.

I wonder when a GOOD reality show will surface.  The only one I can think of, out of 30something, is the apprentice.  And even then, it wasn't all that great.

Gimmie a break. It's not like I watch survivor or anything of that nature. At least American Idol isn't all staged like survivor was. AI is the only reality show I watch, and for the exact three reasons that someone mentioned earlier.
