justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 That big football player was incredibly mediocre throughout his performance. Although I did enjoy his wide variety of colored golfing hats, as well as his admission that he was metrosexual, I didn't enjoy his attempt at humor. "I'd like to make Simon's head bleed!" (Goofy face yielding no laughter). It's Simon who owns the god damned record company that you'll be signing with, you fucking idiot. The Hawaiin girl was pretty good, as was the girl who went last...she was hot at least. Bring on Dean Martin guy. I won't be biased, I swear. I did like how the only stuff by him that they showed was when he screwed up. When they had the episode where each individual had to sing, they didn't show his...seems to me like they're trying to hide the best singers so that you'll be surpised by them later on. That being said, I really hope Dean Martin guy does well. As it is now, he's the only one on the show that, if he released a CD, I would buy. Alright, let me sum this all up: Simon is the best part of the show, I don't see why everyone thinks it's "OMG SO AWESOME!" to try to tear him down. This is basically an interview for a major corporation...if you had to go for an interview at Microsoft, would you be like, "You know what, Bill, I'd like to make your head bleed."? I think not.

Mik 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Everyone says that, but Simon Cowell is not the person who owns the record company. That's Simon Fuller, the show's creater. Unless I'm missing something. I know Cowell has an important job, but Fuller is the owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like Dean Martin guy will be in group 4. Pen Guy is in group 3, as is the Hawaiian freestyle guy. I'll go on record as saying that Dean Martin doesn't make it through. Does he have talent? I think so. Does his music suit American Idol? No. But throw him a one-shot album deal, let him record a bunch of standards, and see how it does. The funny thing about Football Guy's comments - that would probably keep him from getting fired on The Apprentice. I think Trump likes aggressiveness. But trying to match wits with Simon, let's face it, you've got to be a quick thinker, and these guys are singers, not comedians or battle rappers. The only time I've seen people match Simon's retorts was on World Idol, where - shockingly - the other judges proved as capable of spewing venom as the most hated Brit since, well, Anne Robinson. We need more William Hungs on this show - nice guys who can accept the judges' verdicts with grace... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression that Simon had something to do with BMG, while Fuller owned RCA...I could be horribly, horribly wrong, though. And I know that Dean Martin won't win this thing. I just want to see him do well, as he's the only one on the show in THREE SEASONS that I've actually rooted for. It's a shame that he won't win, but you have to admit that he has a great voice.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2004 I'm pretty sure Simon's a producer and can sign people on his own. I mean he practically offered Fantasia a contract. That's why I think it's so funny when people lose it on Simon and say that he doesn't know talent. Umm....hello! He makes his money off of recognizing talent! Anyways I'm estatic that Football Guy went through. I didn't like the other chick though. Camille. I thought that the other one that should've gone through was Marissa.....but maybe that's because I wanted to bone her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2004 SIMON COWELL Simon Cowell’s music career is now infamous having, over the past 20 years, shaped what we consider to be modern pop music today. In the last 10 years, Simon, a BMG Record Executive, has been making and breaking records. Cowell has achieved sales of over 25 million albums, over 70 top 30 records and 17 number 1 singles. He has worked and developed groups and individuals such as Westlife, the pop siren Sinitta and Robson & Jerome. Simon became a celebrity in his own right for reducing a string of teenage wannabes to tears while serving as a judge on the UK version of the show, "Pop Idol." ------------------ I think Randy is a bit underestimated... Randy Jackson is a twenty-year music industry veteran. For eight years, he was the V.P. of A&R at Columbia Records followed by four years as Senior V.P. of A&R at MCA Records. Randy has recorded, toured and performed with the likes of: *NSYNC, Madonna, Elton John, Destiny's Child and many more. Randy has worked on over one thousand gold and multi-platinum albums. With his amazing talent, immense studio knowledge, performing, touring and record company experience, Randy has become one of today's most highly sought-after music industry experts.

Guest TheHulkster Report post Posted February 20, 2004 ...and he was in Journey! Anyway, it's always nice to see an upset. I wanted to see the Football player go through just because it would be so damned strange. Which is the reason I'd want the Dean Martin guy to go through. There need to be some shakeups in pop music. Odds are that they will get the same treatment as the rocker from last season. As good as they are, each week they will get lambasted for not fitting the image that American Idol portrays. The last girl looked like Trish Stratus with dark hair. I wish she had gone through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you want to bet that he sings A) Frank Sinatra B) Dean Martin C) Sammy Davis, Jr., then the judges will claim that he "played it safe" with his song choices? Just a hunch.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 DEAN MARTIN GUY IS ON TONIGHT! EVERYONE WATCH! What do you want to bet that he sings A) Frank Sinatra B) Dean Martin C) Sammy Davis, Jr., then the judges will claim that he "played it safe" with his song choices? Just a hunch. Actually I predict that he'll sing a Harry Connick-style "It Had To Be You". It's probably "contemporary" enough for the judges, but has a big band style that suits his singing. And as a side note, George Huff (the "old looking" guy) got the "lucky loser" spot when one of the other contestants got nabbed for a DUI. Thought he deserved a final 32 spot anyways, so here's to hoping he does well. Anyone catch Monday's special? Martha the Army Girl looks damn cute when not in her uniform.

MooreMark 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 I don't think Deano stands a chance tonight. We have the 3 no names..Jasmine, Susan and Tiara who are all very good from what I have heard. I actually did here Jasmine sing an amazing rendition of "natural woman" on the radio. The other two are suppose to be really good aswell. We have Heather..who could get through based on looks and if her performance is solid today. George has a good chance because of his massive fan base. I could see Deano getting to the top 3 because of a fan base type vote but not further. I can't wait for tommorrow's show which will be the show where they announce the wildcards (yay) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 People, they just don't know talent now-a-days. Dean Martin Guy has made it through thus far based on what? Notice how they haven't shown much footage of him? My guess is that they're saving it, so that it'll be a huge "surprise" when he blows all the other contests out of the water. Judging by his voice and his look, he could be the next Dean Martin. Plus, he's only sixteen, so all of the older viewers will vote for him based on who he reminds them of, and the younger viewers will think he's cute or something. But even if he gets voted off, I bet he gets a record deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheHulkster Report post Posted March 3, 2004 Lisa Wilson looked slammin'. No wonder Simon was so fixated on her mouth . The ugly perfomer girl looked a bit like Lindsey Lohan. I thought everyone pretty much stunk or were, at most, unremarkable except for George. A vote for the Dean Martin guy is a wasted vote. He's 16 for christ's sake. George is 23 and looks like he's 40.
