Having not watched one minute of the show this year...(spoils)

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) May 21 '09, 06:34

everything I've heard from Day 1 was that the Adam kid was the best ever and was a shoe-in to win.

For whatever that's worth.

- he toned it down on several occasions, actually, and I liked those weeks. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:59
spoil. - loosilu May 21, 06:46 17
- Isn't almost better to not win? Last year's winner I haven't heard much of, but that insipid Archuletta stuff is all over the radio. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 21, 06:49 16
  - Theoretically it's better, but the winner does get a lot of free marketing. How many not-winners have ended up donig well? -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:50 15
    - Aiken, Jennifer Hudson... -- nm - Andie May 21, 06:53 4
      - True, but look at Clarkson and Underwood. As great as Hudson has done, the other two are much bigger. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:55 3
        
        Because those two are better. The comparison, in my mind, is Clay and Ruben. - TFox May 21, 06:56 2
        
        I guess what I'm saying is, it doesn't seem to be *better* to get second place. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:56 1
        
        Without trying to be intentionally glib, it seems better to be better. :) -- nm - TFox May 21, 06:57
    - Daughtry, Aiken, Archuletta...(Did Jordan Sparks win? I forget.) -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 06:53 9
      - Wasn't Constantine Mouralis (is that his name?) just nominated for a Tony? -- nm - kelly May 21, 06:56 3
        
        How that show even got to Broadway still baffles me. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 06:59
        
        Yup. I think this supports znufrii's point. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 06:57 1
        
        I think several non-winners have done Broadway with some success. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:57
      - Sparks won, yeah. Aiken has kind of fizzled. Daughtry and Hudson have done well. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:54 4
        
        I think Hudson was pure luck and unrelated to Idol. She got cast in a movie that got nominated. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 06:55 1
        
        do you think she ever would have been considered for the role if she hadn't done Idol? -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:58
        
        of the winners, i only ever think of Clarkson and Underwood. the second place person doesn't have to release a Idol produced single. - Andie May 21, 06:55 1
        
        I actually think Adam would survive the Idol-mandated single better than someone like Cook. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:56
The neverending - JaxSean May 21, 06:41

- he's also (spoil) - loosilu May 21, 06:46
- Ah...well, in that case...you are correct. (spoils) - Jim May 21, 06:38 22
  - Here's my take, since I watched more than 4 minutes ... (no spoils) - JaxSean May 21, 06:46 21
    - agreed, and I didn't care for the last bit of your IM. - loosilu May 21, 06:47 13
      - But spoils - TFox May 21, 06:53 6
        
        I'm no expert on singing, but he was the best this season. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:59 2
        
        This season, maybe (though I maintain...) - TFox May 21, 07:00 1
        
        I don't think she said "ever." I'm not even sure who I'd say was the best ever on Idol. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 07:05

        *laughing* -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 06:57
        
        "Best" is subjective. - JaxSean May 21, 06:55
      - Agreed. (Do you mean you don't like how I said it, or that that was what he is?) -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 06:51 5
        
        sorry, I mean I didn't like the packaged nature of his image. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:52 4
        
        yup, me either. - JaxSean May 21, 06:54 3
        
        He strikes me as a male Madonna. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 06:57 2
        
        Mandonna? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 21, 07:06 1
        
        pre-mandonna -- nm - Roger More May 21, 07:18
    - ugh. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 06:47 6
      - *shrug* Just the way I see it. - JaxSean May 21, 06:50 5
        
        Oh, I'm not saying that your perceptions are off base at all, I'm "ugh"ing for the implications it has for Broadway and the american musical theatre. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 06:51 4
        
        It has zero implications for Broadway. That is why the fit is so natural. - TFox May 21, 06:52 2
        
        meh. I just hate the recent trend of casting AI finalists in Broadway shows as a way to sell tickets. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 06:55 1
        
        (you would prefer they not sell tickets? just do it for the art of it?) - TFox May 21, 06:57
        
        heh -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 06:51
(spoilers) - Andie May 21, 06:35
