Who Watches American Idol?
« on: April 07, 2010, 06:17:32 PM »
Ok...for the first time since AI aired, I decided to TIVO the series and watch one episode.  I am now hooked.  The first episode I watched is when they announced the 10 finalists....So I've seen 3 episodes thus far and I like it.

I never understood the big deal, but it actually is entertaining...and fun to watch.

I have my favorite for this season..I don't remember her name, but the white girl with the dreads and lip ring.   I like her voice.

I haven't watched it in years, but I did vote for my family friend's granddaughter this year until she got booted.

I've seen 1 episode.  And that wasn't really by choice.

I began watching late last year and have continued to this season.  My wife likes "Dreds" ( her name ) and I am partial to KC.  It is addictive once you watch a coupe episodes and develop favorites.  Sort of like holding a puppy!!

To date we have not voted for anyone.

We used to watch it, but it got really boring really quickly.  It's also stupid.  The people who lose tend to be more successful than the winner.

Don't care for it. Reminds me of Star Search, but an extended one.

I enjoy it.  I wish it had been around back when I was around. 

The show is not a talent contest at this stage.  It's a personality pageant.

I only like the "auditions" parts.

Even though I know those thousands of people in line never see those TV judges, just the hundred or so are who invited back for a second audition get to see those judges.
