Anybody watchin'? It's possibly the most evil show in the history of television, yet I'm drawn to it like an accident on the freeway.

I have been afraid to watch. I am afraid I would enjoy the cruely.

SOOOO EVil!!!

And so fucking funny!!!

I'm amused and ashamed.

Gotta love Briggs(?). When he told that female singer, "I have good news and bad news for you. The bad news is you have absolutely no talent. The good news? I think you're smokin' hot and I'd like to take you out to dinner."

Ace said:

yes, that was great.

the contestants are TRULY horrible

THe girl singing, "SO Emotional" with the wrong lyrics and freaky style?!?!?!

It sounds like Pop Idol!

Is it similar to that!?

Lleena said:

I don't think it's any of our business Lleena.

No I think it a twisted sort of American Idol, they send the best people home and make the really horrid contestants think they are great. like the William Hung thing

JDINTERACTIVE said:

But I want to know.

Lleena said:

It may be dangerous for us to know.

Leena I just told you

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I like danger though..

Lleena said:

Don't say I didn't warn you.

ella731 said:

I see, thanks. It sounds mean.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I was better off not knowing.

Lleena said:

It's a take-off of American Idol (which is the American version of Pop Idol). Basically the concept goes thusly: Judges vote-off the talented singers and keep the truly awful (telling the former that they suck and the latter that they're terrific), until they are down to The Worst Singer in America. It's horribly cruel, yet I cannot turn away.

Ace said:

You said "thusly" I like!

so the worst singer actually thinks that they are the best, surely they know how bad they are?

Lleena said:

Thank you.


Denial is a powerful thing.

Ace said:

Agreed

I think this is a wonderful show because I'm in awe that these fuckers don't know they're out of tune and sound like shit. I'm surprised the judges can keep a straight face. It truly amazes me

My new favourite Briggs line (totally straight-faced, to a contestant who sang in a horrible falsetto): "Wow. Some of those notes you hit... Do you have both of your testicles?"

Ace said:

I like when he called security because a guy "stole the show"!
And then the guy was gushing about that to the host -- "He
told me I stole the show!!!"

madartista said:

Or when he told that guy who did the Huey Lewis song, "I know Huey and I think he'd really dig your interpretation. I don't know about the News - I don't know the News. But I think Huey'd be cool with it."

Ace said:

yeah, that was good too. or when the judges all danced to a
frightening version of "Celebration"

when is it on again?

I think more people were watching the auditions of American idol, because it was entertaining watching people make fools of themselves. I know after that I stopped watching. On the rip-off version,I feel bad for the people who could sing. They get turned away and their all confused.

It's the Gong Show revisited

good call -- except Gong Show people knew they
were bad -- or at least they were told they were --
these poor saps really believe they can sing!
