    Don't get bent outta shape over it. I'm sure there are others who can't stand it either. It's just my $0.02. That's what this bored is all about last time I looked.

    I'm not getting bent out of shape.

    I just find it interesting that people who don't watch American Idol would bother to open a thread that is clearly about American Idol.

    I don't play poker, but I see dozens of poker threads.

    I never once had the inclination to open one and make a post saying how stupid poker is.

    If Chris is a "dime a dozen screamer", Ace is an Elton John style pole smoker. You can't tell me he hasn't gotten his poop pushed in a time or two.

    Fixored

     

    I wish this damn show would disappear like a fart in the wind. :banana:

    Then what threads would you visit just to complain that you hate the thread topic?

    I really don't know what the purpose of the show is. The fans vote. Vote for what? Their favorite? The best? Ya know....the winner of Idol may not sell albums or have a great career. Example Rueben Studdard. People vote for their "favorites", not "who is likely to become the most successful as a singer."

     

    Chris might not win Idol, but I think he will become the most successful of all.

    I guess we'll see about that. You could be right.

    I, personally, would watch Taylor Hicks for an hour before I'd want to watch Doughtry for ten minutes.

    To me, Hicks is unique. He's an entertainer who you can't help but smile at when you're watching.

    Singer/screamers like Doughtry are a dime a dozen. Every local bar in every town has guys just like him performing every weekend.

    Versatility?

    Who cares. Who needs it. What's he going to get by showing versatility? That's not what sells albums. Being a great singer in your genre sells albums.

    So, Katherin McPhee or Kellie Pickler should be able to sing "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas, and sound and look good doing it?

     

    I know the last time I bought a CD, I searched under "V" for versatile, rather than by genre or by name. I was going to buy Nickelback's new CD, but I said "Nahh....simply not versatile enough." I was kinda hoping they'd have a rap song as well as a few country songs on there.

    I'm not arguing that Doughtry will have a career as a rock singer.

    I'm just saying that I was looking forward to seeing if he had anything up his sleeve other than his louyd and soft screaming routine last night. He'll probably have a career as a rock singer when it's all over, but he's certainly not the best singer on the show, and I thought that that was what the purpose of the show.

     

    The crooner guy was goos at Sinatra songs, but that's all he could do. He's gone now. I would like to see Daughtry do something else. Just once.

    Pickler- Adorable. Genuine. Anyone who thinks she is "faking" the whole country bumpkin-thing is dead wrong. She's been the same since her first audition. Not quite the singer that McPhee, Tucker, or Mandisa are, but she'll go far on personality and looks.

    Doughtry- Very good singer, but very little range. One trick pony, in my book. Last night was his chance to show some versatilty by doing some Stevie R&B, but he wimped out and had to do a rock tune anyway.

    Taylor Hicks- Easily the most entertaining of the bunch. Even though I doubt he wins it all, he could have the best career when all is said and done.

    Lisa Tucker- A natural on stage. One of the top three voices in the competeition. For her to last into teh top five, however, she needs to have better song selection. She's not terribly exciting to watch.

    Katherine McPhee- The best singer of the bunch, from a technical perspective. Has tremendous range and voice control. Doesn't have the strong pipes that Mandisa has, but she can do more with her voice.

    Ace- There are only 2 or 3 people left who are worse singers than him, but he will go farther than he probably should because of his looks.

    I used to be in every post in the pre-Latin Pimp days, adding my two cents whether it was pertinant or not.

     

    These days, I'm going to be more of a Steve Tasker-type. Maybe 5-7 posts a day, but they will hit hard and be game-changers. :banana:

    And Opie & Anthony only have 3-5 minute commercial breaks (usually after going non-stop for 60-90 minutes). Same with the comedy channels (maybe one brief break per hour). Most music channels on XM are 100% commercial free as advertised.

    True.

    This is the kind of quality thread that will be the norm once people realize that there is more to good message boarding than simply making up thread titles like, "If Drobeski was God" or "Does this make me gay".

     

    Kudos to Brinett for thinking outside the box. :doublethumbsup:

    Not true. Stern has commercials (although not as many as terrestrial radio).

    Yes, Stern does have commercials, but only about five minutes per hour. So does Bubba the Love Sponge.

    The music channels are the things that are 100% commercial free.

    Go with Sirius, not XM.

    XM has a deal with Clear Channel. They've already added four commercial radio stations.

    Sirius is 100% commercial free. (other than national feeds like ESPN, ABC News, ect.)

    Sirius has Stern, NFL, and, starting next year, Nascar.
