Comments on: Idol Headlines for 3/7/08 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-3708.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: xoxoyc http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-3708.htm/comment-page-3/#comment-102632 xoxoyc Sat, 08 Mar 2008 14:03:41 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-3708.htm#comment-102632 They want a boy winner this year- with the law of averages over the last 7 seasons makes sense. I think they pretty much picked weaker girls on purpose to make it much easier for the guys, because history shows that a girl with a good voice going against a guy will win MOST of the time. (Season 5 being the only exception). Archuleta has already won the thing anyway, which gives me little reason to pick a favorite. He will go the Jonas Bros/ Miley Cyrus route and sell tons of albums to the Disney crowd. I think that will hurt the creditbility of the show somewhat because why will older, serious singers want to try out just to get beat by a cute kid with a good voice? Word on the street is they want boys in the finals because there are too many pop princesses out there right now. Kind of ironic since TCO will be nothing more than a male version of a pop princess.

Who do you think got Hallejulah to #1, even if it was sung by Jeff Buckley. Jason. hmmm. I might need early intervention. prime, we're so there. We just need a counselor to mediate the fan base wars. That's all. (first stage - denial). pj, now, look on the bright side!

Not because of a prize, but because I'm WAY too competitve. Not at work, lol, but with games. Anyway, I think Jason's version of Hallelujah got tossed out of the top 100. I'm betting he was there by mistake b/c TBTB didn't filter his name out b/c they didn't expect it. Sounds like "Imagine" should have been in it too.

Last night I found myself on itunes. So, while I was there, I counted the number of 'reviews' for each remaining idol. I decided hard core fans leave reviews and is an indicator of.. something.

They really are that clueless when it comes to picking good songs. Have they never watched the show before? Exit interviews are posted at EW.
