Governator 54 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Who's watching this? I'll check it out but will have to watch it later as it's on at the same time as Survivor. I have a feeling it's going to be over the top brutality served up from Simon considering that's what A.I. missed from him last season. Hopefully it's well balanced. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 is there a gimmick that makes this different from American Idol, other than the name? Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I won't be watching it. I have never enjoyed AI so I suspect this won't be much different. Simon, Paula, and a Randy look-a-like. If it was a show like AGT then I would watch as I enjoy variety as opposed to pop singers. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 is there a gimmick that makes this different from American Idol, other than the name?american idol is just singers. The x-factor has contestants that do more then just sing, they aremulti dimensional and that it, they have the x factor. Link to post Share on other sites

The guy has launched the careers of countless stars.... Randy was in Journey.I think the main difference is that there are individuals and groups allowed. I guess that is the only difference. And that the auditions are in front of an audience, which I think is annoying. I think it is more personal for someone to tell you face to face that you suck when you are in a small room.

Randy was in Journey.haha I watched the opening while eating dinner and they mentioned all the acts he made stars and I hate most all of them. I really just simply don't like more than half the music that is used on these shows. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I fast forwarded through most of it but thought it was decent. LA Reid is by far my favorite judge. Basically the same as American Idol with those few other things mentioned earlier. But there is nothing really unique about the show, but it will be good anyways I think.

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 LA Reid is the best judge so far.I agree with Steve though, they seem to be putting thru a bunch of acts I didn't think were that good. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Was I the only won who thought the producers must've paid a couple of terrible/fake singing acts to come on to give the show something awful to show? There was a black chick who sounded so fake in the 2nd half of the show. Then tried to say how Simon is all "mean" blah blah when he didn't even say anything to her mean? I mean really, most were all good & pre-auditioned obviously so it seemed pretty clear it wasn't their first audition we're seeing.Nothing original except Simon putting up $5million to the winner to give the finger to A.I. producers.

There is also a huge black woman from here that is supposed to make it to the next round but I think she auditioned in a different city. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I LOVE Cheryl Cole's (is that her name?) accent!Was there ever an explanation to why she left the show? I think she got fired. She was supposed to be the permanent judge, then something happened and now Nicole Scherznigger is the full time judge.There were some really good auditions last night.

SuperJon 175 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 There were some really good auditions last night.For sure. That one 14 year old chick was pretty damn good, especially for only being 14.Ok, now someone quote that somewhere else so it gets taken out of context. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The girl at the very end of the show last night was pretty amazing.The kid rapper was pretty cool too. I looked him up on youtube and he has been hawking that "stop looking at my mom" song for a year though. He probably doesn't have any more material. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Is anyone else still watching this? I think there are a lot of good performers on the show. I'm not interested in any of the groups or the stupid thing they did with putting rejects in groups. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'm watching here and there. Once it gets down to just performances every show, I'll start watching more.I really like it, and the level of talent is pretty outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I feel like the judges did a poor job at picking songs for the contestants to perform at their houses. They should have just let them pick their own songs again. Link to post Share on other sites
