Somehow it seems that those American Idol contestants (so far: South Carolina and San Diego?) are even more confident than they were before.

How is it that they seem to truly think they can sing when they (some of them) sound so f..ing bad. They truly seem indignant for not getting into the next part of the show!

I for one, do not want to miss even one episode



Great laughs

I think that they know that they can't sing. The audition is their attempt to get their 15 seconds of fame.

It scared me though. Made me wonder if my friends were encouraging me to sing and I was actually like an idol contestant. How could their friends and family encourage that?

It's not really about the winners or about who's best. It's the losers, that's what people really want to watch, just like staring at road accidents

It's all a huge pile of steaming poo, but Opportunity Knocks was better. And so was New Faces.

Rockstar was the best of the two, as it focused on real talent and chose to omit all of this 3 week pre- competition stuff. Once the final 12 idols are chosen, I usually start watching.

i agree with EB here its actually quite sickening at the moment (apart from the odd funny one), think i will switch back on when it becomes a competition

Best to get a pro for an evaluation, imho. (Most) friends and (many) family members are keen to give encouragement, it seems.

When will you sing for us sunwatersky? Do let us know the venue when you do another performance

Thanks Crone, i did one before Chrismas but haven't been practicing enough to be seen in public for a while. Too much work and not enough play!

What channel can you watch it, and when is it on?

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my Grandfather.
Not screaming and in terror, like his passengers.

Ah yus, New Faces. A proper talent show eh?

Yesterday I was happy to play
For a penny or two a song
Till a fellah in a black sedan
Took a shine to my one-man-band,
He said, 'We got plans for you, you'd never dream,'

You're a star, you're a star,
A lame suit and a new guitar,
And I know that you¡¯ll go far
Cos you're a star

You're a star, superstar,
On you go, it's your finest hour,
And I know that you'll go far
Cos you're a star

I signed my name and the Friday came
When the song that I used to sing
Came out on a forty-five,
I sang it on the TV live,
Yes, the music played and I heard the people say ¡­

You're a star, you're a star,
A lame suit and a new guitar,
And I know that you¡¯ll go far
Cos you're a star

You're a star, superstar,
On you go, it's your finest hour,
And I know that you'll go far
Cause you¡¯re a star

Well, the record did fine
And there came a time
When I bought my own black sedan
And a piece of land for a home
In St George's Hill - that¡¯s where they all live, ya know

When I'm low, I'm a-happy to go
To the street where I used to play,
Even though it makes me laugh
To have to sign my autograph
For the folks who used to drop me just to dance.

Now they all say ¡­

You're a star, you're a star
A lame suit and a new guitar
And I know that you'll go far
Cos you're a star

You're a star, superstar
On you go, it¡¯s your finest hour
And I know that you'll go far
Cos you're a star.

Yes, I'm a star.









Look at this bovver go!

Does Paula look like an extra from the 70s series Planet of the Apes ?

Britney is a disease ridden pest and should be exterminated. How to do ?

Maybe it's adding fuel to the fire. If Simon walked past me right now, I would have to seriously control myself.
Really- Randy, Paula, Ryan, Simon- its not hard to choose is it?
