Constantine Maroulis Re-Ups for Another Year of “Rock Of Ages”

He’s still so skeezy to me. And talk about legend in his own mind! Oh and yeah, he seems like a total douchenozzle.

Good for him, he’s done well on Broadway.

Oh God, those lady singers wouldn’t even make it past the judges on idol

Do they sing that bad intentionally?

I’m glad he has done well…. but

someone explain why I did dislike this man so much. He kinda gives me the creeps.

Erm, gee. Lucky us! Another year of Constantine, the guy-who-opened-doors-for-rockers (lulz!) on Broadway!

Hate to nitpick, but didn’t he say he opened the doors for rockers on Idol, not Broadway? Although knowing him, he probably said both.

Yikes! Vocals sound pretty amateurish to me…
And for once, the jedi background seems to fit nicely.

OMG I use to be a huge fan of this guy until I learned what an idiot he was not to mention huge poser. Can someone tell me why he is wearing floods and no socks? Is this making a comeback?

I have never liked him. I really disliked him on the show, and that dislike has increased since then.

That being said, he’s doing well compared to a lot from his season. I think both Trache-boy and Scott Soval placed higher than him.

Oh, and bitch please. You had a whole backstory set up that faked you breaking up with your band to try out for Idol. Sounds like your Dad is still alive and kicking. If only we could all be so lucky…

Also, that Extreme song is from the 90s. Just saying…

Awe I thought the girls were terrible but Constantine sounded good. And was he actually playing the guitar? He’s still an idiot though!

Well, good for him that he’s got guaranteed employment for the next year.

He was really uncomfortable in that interview. Not very animated, and not very directly responsive to the questions. Weird. Kind of using canned stuff he’s said before. And he really should have flirted with Sherri–she was asking for it, and he really did not cough it up. mistake.

He said that he paved the way for Daughtry and Cook in a People article yesterday. Oh man. Shut up.

The girl singers were fine. They aren’t singing to be recorded; in a theater (even with mics and sound systems as good as they are today) you really have to blow, and you compromise tone quality a bit for it. The other singers did fine, I thought.

(That Extreme song is from the 90s–early 90s right? And it’s 1000 times better with the lower harmony line. I’ve never seen the show but it seems like such a great song to do as a duet; I’m surprised the show couldn’t have been written to take advantage of that.)

I couldn’t stand him on Idol and still don’t like him. He’s not that talented and he’s one of the most arrogant people I’ve ever seen. Never could understand Paula’s obsession with him. YUCK

He is such a douche. Vaguely amusing at times but still…a douche.

He’s a complete tool. Ugh.

He’s still so skeezy to me.

Why does he give off such a slimy vibe? I wanted to like him on the show but, he made me feel dirty and violated.

Squirrley… and not in a good way. I know, ick.

HOLYCRAP THAT WAS GODAWFUL. Grab a couple girls from any top 24 or something, those 2 are dreadful. He is just laughable, musicals are lame to begin with but a real karaoke one. WOW. They shoulda offered adam what ever he wanted to take it over, im sure it wont be to long before he’s there anyways

Wow. That was a mess. Constantine was better than the girls. That’s about as much positivity as I can muster. The girls were terrible. How did they get jobs on Broadway?

…musicals are lame to begin with…

I love musicals – going to see two next weekend in NYC.

Poor Constantine!!! Why doesn’t anybody like him? I don’t get the sleazy vibe, more a bit on the goofy side, in a trying too hard sort of way.

I admit to not watching the show that year, pretty much gave up AI after season two until this year and Adam, but I maybe caught one show Constantine was on, but that was it. So I don’t know much about him, but the little I’ve seen him I thought he was very nice, and hard working, eight shows a week is pretty tough. His voice I think is very pleasant. The girls weren’t that bad, and theatre is a different ball game, they often look for characters in the people they cast rather than perfect voices.

I think he is doing great and I wish him all the luck in the world!!!

And a Tony award nomination is nothing to sneeze at, so he is doing something right.

Hate to nitpick, but didn’t he say he opened the doors for rockers on Idol, not Broadway? Although knowing him, he probably said both.

That’s not what I’m saying. I worded it badly, I guess.

Poor Constantine!!! Why doesn’t anybody like him?

Well, speaking for myself–scroll down to the bottom of the post:

And others have similar stories of his douchiness. Plus, I read a couple of things over at idletard that made my hair stand on end.

Not to say I wouldn’t go see ROA, and maybe even enjoy it, but his reputation as a douchebag is deserved, immo.

Aw, I’ll say a good word for Constantine. He was fun on season 4 and for me, he was the only exciting contestant that year. I loved his “I think I love you” and Bohemian Rhapsody and other songs. Yes I fell for the eye-f*ck, it got me every time. I was sad when he was off the show.

A lot of women were very hot for Connie after the show. Eventually it waned and yes he does have a sleazy side, I wasn’t into his “Betty Bitches” thing, but good for him, doing well on Broadway. And, he puts his foot in his mouth now and then, but who doesn’t? I’m almost always glad to see ex-Idols doing well. (Someone mentioned scott savol. wonder what happened to him. Now there was someone I could have done without on Idol.)

He makes me ashamed to be Greek. Such a choad.

Hollywood came knocking for reals, and Con was offered a role to play a character kinda-sorta based on himself in the cheestastic soap opera, The Bold and The Beautiful.

I didn’t know he was on BB, and I’m not surprised he acted like an ass MJ – it seems natural to him.

I barely remember Constantine from AI, but I did watch the Tony Awards this year and was shocked at how bad he was. Hopefully, he’s better on Broadway, but his performance killed any desire I had to see the show. I’ll be in NYC this weekend (thank you work) and I’m planning on seeing Hair and Billy Elliot instead.

I’m seeing Hair and 9 to 5 next weekend. I’m really excited to see Hair.

Gotta say, I think Constantine is the biggest douche ever, perhaps more so than Jon Gosselin. But…I saw Rock of Ages a few months ago. He was good. Really good. Of course, they serve alcohol during the show (at your seats!), so perhaps that tainted my review of his performance.

He shouldve won the Tony for his excellent portrayal of a Bingo announcer in that Broadway Musical the title of which Ive forgotten……….there are screencaps available though…….he was so realistic there!…..tsssss…..

How this guy remains in a business that requires singing is one of life’s greatest mysteries. He is not just a tool, he is an untalented tool.

I have 3rd row tickets on 10/30, I’ll report back. I can’t resist hair band songs. And I did like him on the show, I liked his voice. But he is a little greasy.

LOL Jon Gosselin is a hero not a douche, anyone that took the shit he took from that control freak and not murder her deserves an award.

This loser also called DA gay and couple other things

LOL Jon Gosselin is a hero not a douche, anyone that took the shit he took from that control freak and not murder her deserves an award.

I had never heard of them until they announced their divorce. I’m not sure that anyone who has 8 kids and a girlfriend on the side can be considered a hero. Don’t know anything about the wife, but the guy had 8 freaking kids with her. If she’s that bad, then it’s his own damn fault.

Connie, see, there are peeps that make you look relatively good. Relatively.

sorry… double post!

Squirrely , I also love musicals both stage productions and films. I usually try to see both of a particular presentation. Dancing is the added bonus. I loved Hair in the stage production! Enjoy! Enjoy!

I didn’t see The View, but I did see the Tony Awards, and Constantine was very good. I am happy he has had this success.

On the show, I’d look forward to each week just wondering what Constantine would do. At the time, I considered him to be a “rocker” and enjoyed his performances. Yes, he has done some not-so-nice things, but I find him quite interesting.

My favorite that season was Anthony Fedorov. He has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard at an audition (in all 8 seasons). His ballads and National Anthem are some of my favorite performances.

I really wish that other people had the chance to really *know* Constantine. As a reporter for a few Brooklyn publications, Constantine called during his season (from LA to NYC) and stayed on the phone giving an interview for a half hour (it was supposed to be only ten minutes, since he was rushing to record Bohemian Rhapsody for the Queen tribute album) and really was humble and nice during the whole interview. One of the reasons we spoke so long is that he is a crazy baseball fan and that took up part of the conversation.

I then later went to a local minor league baseball game (where he sang the National Anthem) for another interview and he was great. A lot of fans could only get Standing Room Only (it was opening night) and Constantine went over and brought them in to sit with him and his Mom and Brother (nice people) and took pictures with all who came over to him and asked him. He also spoke on cell phones to their kids at home, while *choking* down a hot dog.

Honestly, he deserves all the success that he has received. (and I am not a fangirlie adoring fan) Just a fan of a nice guy with talent. BTW, the National Anthem was great.

I had never heard of them until they announced their divorce.

Me either, well I heard of him when they started making comparisons to Octo-mom.
