Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 Anyone watch this show? I find it mildly amusing and the one judge (not Ton Loce or Vitamin C) is pretty funny. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 It's hard to miss since Much shows it about 20 times a day, it seems. I find it hard to believe that these people have gone through their lives without anyone telling them how bad they are that when the judges tell them they're great, they buy it.

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I never stopped to watch an episode of American Idol, but I read about this recently, I can't even remember where, probably the local paper. Is it legit? The article I read made comments like it is a spoof, is it that unintentionally bad? That may be more entertaining then the real thing. Although, I have avoided American Idol and still know the whole William Hung craze, so it may not be all that entertaining... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
art_vandelay 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 It is an intentional spoof. It's basically Joe Schmo Show + American Idol. They intentionally pick the bad singers out of the crop and trick them into thinking they're good. I don't think the show's too bad. Some of the performances are quite funny. They shouldn't have kicked off Ross/Rose, though. He was my fav. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I've watched every ep so far, and I'm still amazed that any competition where Tone Loc is a judge can be taken seriously. The judge, Briggs, has some great one-liners. One of my favourites was when he called an auditioner a MILF - F standing for "Fly to Hollywood". Maybe. But Vitamin C had the best comment when she told a GOOD singer "Some day, you'll thank me for what I'm about to tell you. NEXT!!" Anyways, I thought for sure that Frank (the incredibly thin guy who wore heels) would win. Now, it's got to be Mario (the other thin guy) or Nina Diva, who I suppose is the anti-Jasmine. And as far as Much goes, they can't have Rick the Temp on 24/7 (as much as they'd like to try) so this is obviously filler for that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godthedog 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 saw the first episode, lost interest. it would work if the show was funny, but it's not. i expected worse singers and wittier comments from the judges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I figure that they have all the singers totally segregated from each other and they aren't allowed to watch each others performances. You can lie to a contestant and say they're great but if they saw how bad the other performances were they'd be onto the joke in a second. And JoJo is SO going to the fucking top of the heap in this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eclipse 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 That show is great, but I never have the time to actually see it. I can't believe how these ppl think that they are any good at singing! Probably some of the ppl did it to suck intentionally, and were shocked to know they made it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much also really has to stop producing all these Top richest/fashionable/Hot or Not celebrity shows. I thought they were supposed to be the anti-MTV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astro101 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Never really thought about that Vitamin C comment. Went right over my head. Thing is, even if they think they're good, just judging by the other contestant's looks when they do eliminations, they've got to have a little thoght about how they don't look like talented singers, i.e. Mario.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I just think that it is incredibly fucked up that they are going to have someone have the joy of thinking they have actually won because they ahve talent, then pull the rug from under them and tell them YOU SUCK YOU FUCKING SUCK ASS~! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA> They might as well throw cows blood on their prom dress, and point and laugh. Then maybe the "winner" will throw cameras at them with their mind. Then, and only then, would I watch. THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
