American Idol 5
 

Anyone going to be watching this season?

I've watched all of the others, so why quit now? :D

You know I'll be watching the trainwreck.

This should be fun!

The first auditions are the funniest. It just amazes me to hear all these people who THINK they can really sing.

It's not that they THINK they can sing, it's that they THINK that they will be on network television.

I'll tune in if it's good. If it's another Diana Degarmo/Fantasia season, I'll find something else to watch.

What I find odd is that NONE of the idols really seem to make it - Kelly Clarkston is the only one I EVER hear on the radio.

Well, none of the first place winners anyway - Josh Gracin and Carrie underwood. Yay for Country!

I really think that american idol should have been a one time thing, or maybe have one every two to three years. I think that the talent pool is running dry here in corporate rock america.

Half (all?) the time, they are being fed lines by the producers to make good television.

Carrie won last year... except I only hear her one song on my job's cable/satelitte radio sation.

Ditto

Oops..I knew that! Yeah, shows how much I watch the show. I think I watched the last 3 episodes of the Fantasia season.

Nashville Star seems to have more talent and isnt quite so brutal. Except for Jody Evans - I swear he shoulda have been one of the first 2 out - but when he made it into the top 3 I thought I was going to ralph.

Co-sign!

Thats because contestants in Nashville Star are actually musicians/songwriters, whereas most people who audition for American Idol only have experiance singing in school/church choirs or the shower.

I hear Kelly C's songs ALL THE TIME on the local Top 40 stations.

I've heard Josh G's & Carrie's songs (1 each?) on normal country stations, but they don't seem to get as much airtime as Kelly Clarkson.

I'm going to be in the minority and say no. I rather watch ESPN College basketball games and Nashville Star than a bunch of horrible singers with a one-hit wonder waiting to happen. I really don't care for that show. Yes, I'm female, so what?
