Featured review
awful
I hate this show with a passion. seriously. it's just the prospect. omfg people who can sing deserve record contracts! great! so you have a several octave vocal range and you can dance on stage--- yeah, so what? so you deserve a record contract and a chance to machine gun singles into the mainstream market because of this? No. Just.. NO. I'm sick of it. where is your artistic vision? where's your musical innovation? just because you can sing and nothing else doesn't mean anything. I'd rather listen to Bob Dylan, who was never really the best singer over these punks anyday-- at least Bob had vision, was a master of lyrics and had an instrument in his hand. If you can sing well and you've got whats needed to be a rock star, by all means, sign up, like you're innovative, you're creative, you have your own style about you that isn't just restricted to what your voice sounds like and you can play an instrument you deserve a record contract. If all you can do and all you'll ever can do is sing well then join a bloody choir. thats exactly what this show promotes. artists being shot into the oversaturated and underartistic and visionless pop market of today that are spoonfed dumbed down material to regurgitate-- music is art man, it's about expression creation innovation and exploration and mood. it's not about crooning into a microphone and dancing. when are idiots going to realize this. American idol is an insult to all these principles and contradicts what music is all about.
Also I find it amusing that people seem to diss this show out then say "listen to real music like KORN Linkin Park and the ICP!!" don't you realize that that music is almost completely no different from the rubbish that American idol churns out? hypocrisy!
