American Idol: Justin Sued for $100K

American Idol:

Did you see the premiere of the show last night? I thought it was

hilarious although the judges were very rude at moments. What

are your comments on the show? Also, what did you think about

some of the contestants? I'll come back for discussion after we

get some posts.

My roommate and I nearly died laughing.
I do not believe that the judges were rude. Instead, I think that the contestants were so used to mommy and daddy saying that they could sing, that they didn't know how to take it when the truth was told. It takes more than that to be an idol.

I think they were a little too easy on people with a sob story- like the guy with the deaf parents and the girl with the dead father. It seemed like a good story got you to Hollywood.

What was up with some of the songs? I know we all have songs that we like, but why sing a song that is wayyyyy out of your range. People need to come up off of "I will always Love you." Bad renditions, that's probably what has Whitney cracked out now.

But, I would watch again.

Oh my God.. I alomost busted open when I saw the preview and he told that girl "that was horrible".. she said he could kiss her azz. She was soooo p'ed off.

But you know, sometimes in life, you have to take the bitter with the sweet, and I know that business has got to be hard, there is to much competition.

I died laughing the whole time also

but what I wanna know is:

Why didn't someone tell these people they culdn't sing before
they got on TV and made a fool of themselves

I know
that there is someone out there who would have told them the
truth. I know I would have.

At one point I got really emotional,when the big girl from Chicago came on and she could really sing. Simon asked her if when she came to audition she thought she would make it and she said no b/c she knows she's a big girl. Tears were rolling down my face b/c I thought they were going to tell her no but I was so

happy when they said yes to Hollywood.

Otherwise some of those people were really in self denial especially those people who continued to argue with the judges.

I will be watching it again tonight.

That show is PURE COMEDY!!! I don't think the judges were rude......just honest. The excuses to "why" people sound horrible are hilarious. "Oh....I slept under the air conditioner last night, that's why I sound like that today."

And that fat white girl who missed American Idol in 2 states finally caught up with them and when she did, she sounded a whole HOT mess. Maybe, God was trying to tell her something??

She didnt listen!!! And then she had the nerve to be disappointed that she didn't mahe the cut...LOL It comes on again tonight...I can't wait to see who else embarrasses themselves.

I will definitely watch this tonight because Last night had me ON THE FLOOR CTFU.

1. TAM ICK A -- TA MEEEEE KA

2. Black man who did this "Silent Night, I said Silent Night" -- WTF

3. THE FUNNIEST THOUGH -- Fat chick who sang Lady Marmelade and after it was over, the convo between her and Simon.
Simon: Have you been taking lessons?
BAD SINGER: Yes
Simon: From Who?
BS: Some lady in Montana.
Simon: Do you have a lawyer?
BS: No
Simon: Well get one and sue that teacher for not teaching you how to sing.

This is THE WEAKEST LINK meets Putting on the HITS (remember that old show).

I really did think they were going to tell t hat heavy set Black young lady in Chicago to get to stepping.

AMNESIA -- The He/She in Miami -- COMEDY

And that chick who sang FALLIN' -- why was I sitting there like WHAT SONG IS SHE REALLY SINGING. I was

for a good little while on her number.

The attitudes were off the hook. How are you going to suck and then JUMP BAD with the judges.

I screamed on that part! I was calling people to tell them to watch.
Did you see the girl who ran up to give them a hug and busted her azz?

My head and booty hurt for her.

Lesson to everyone: Do not run to hug judges. You might fall and bust ya azz.

How about the folks who did not know the words to the songs?
And the sista who had the paper in her hands?

Naw boo, sing Mary Had a Little Lamb before you try some song you don't know all the words to or BETTER YET practice before you come.

He had the most dedicated to SIMON, CTFU. He was pretty good though.

I was CTFU @ the boy who followed them to 3 cities and got rejected every single time.

CTFU!! Girl... at this point, my boyfriend was like, this HAS to be staged. That fool didn't even say "silent".. talking about, "Si-ya-lent night. I said a Si-ya-lent night." LMAO!!

And that chick that tried to sing "Knockin Da Boots".. after they TOLD her she sucked, she was outside talking about, "I don't know if I made it or not.. let me go back and see."

I was cracking up at her.

I will definitely be watching it again.

Ya'll got me over here on the FLOOR right now...

I saw it as well, some of them chilluns was WRONG...but ya'll forgot about the transvestite from Miami! Had the cleft chin and everything!

I was emotional too about the big girl, but I'm glad she made it.

On old boy singing Christmas carols...WHY WHY WHY? And why did he not fix his hair up beforehand, looked like something was nesting in there

Here's my fave quote from Simon: "I have a pen, not a magic wand" plus the other quote about the music teacher being sued.

I felt bad for your girl running and hitting the "home run slide" into the table

Score!

Oh...the "Genie in A Bottle" Girl with the bad dye job...she thought she was jammin!!

I got too many of these, I'll post more later though!

Guuuuurl you got me over here snorting and doing LAMAZE BREATHING techniques. I had neeeeeeeever heard a rendition like that.

What about old girl who was singing and was "pantomining" to LEAN ON ME. I swear some folks were straight BOLD to come on there and get clowned like that.
