Ugh. I can't get over the fact that Bo lost. I can't see for the life of me why anyone would vote for Carrie. Bo's got the voice, he's got soul, and he's got a mullet! Just think of the mullet, man..... DrCossack goes SuperSayianLevel129812 and drops a GIANT FSCKING ROCK ON Met! Met DIES LOLZZ!!!1 |

I was watching American Idol for awhile then I just decided to stop. It just didn't interest me that much. I didn't even watch the finals. Who won?

The prep. American Idol Sucks. Meh Meh meh. 98% of teens have made a "98% of teens" Signature. Copy and paste this into your signature if you're the 2% that finds it stupid. |

I don't know how the show is. I just don't really watch it. Quote: Originally posted by Breakman: Saturdays: The day Protoman comes over.

It wasn't so much that her voice was bad... she's just so... run-of-the-mill, in my oppinion. I can turn on a country radio station and hear a million other people that sound just like her. And yes, it's annoying that it all seems based on looks, but that's how it goes. Bo had something that a lot of the other contestants really have; originality. He had an easy sort of style. (That and he wasn't a friggin' Barbie-doll. Bleh.) Frankly, I was really tied up on who I wanted to win; Bo or Baby-V! I thought she had some real potential, even if a few of her performances weren't the best. Oh, well, I'm sure we'll hear more from both of them. Just look at Clay Aiken!

...They were born with good vocal cords. Exactly. That's the point of being a good singer, duh. Except for the fact that you have to work a lot at that, and some people who don't have really good voices can make them really good by "exercising," and other things. There's bands out now like Green Day. Green Day can't sing. And neither can half of the bands out there, especially in hard rock. Never give up. Remember that refusing to give up sometimes means backing off or being calm. |

I play at coffee joints and such. Yes, Green Day is talentless but your comment about hard rock is a biased opinion. True, majority of them arn't good at singing (as the public accepts it) but that doesn't mean they have any less talent as musicians...Anything in the maintstream is artificial. I know how long it takes to write a song, record it, and accumulate 15 songs for an LP. People like Britney Spears and these American Idol winners walk right into the studio, sing their parts, leave, collect royalties and lip sing on SNL. If anyone begs to differ, PM me. |

What American Idol is, for all that it isn't, is a chance for a singer to get recognized. Granted, it doesn't always work very well, but as a singer myself, I know how hard it is to write, perform, and find people to play your music. "Born with good vocal chords." Pah, that's a good one. I'm better the person who said that can't sing at all; singing is something that doesn't usually "just happen." Even if you can sing, no matter WHAT style, it still takes a lot of time, effort, and patience to perfect that. It's like anything else; sports, art, anything; the talent can be there, but you have to work to bring it out.

I would have voted for Bo but i don't really care. I only wached the finaly. The only season I could stand to wach all the way through was the second one with Ruben and Clay.

...How the hell is it a biased opinion? It's true. The point of hard rock music is to scream, and have hard beats, NOT to sing. Not that it's all screaming, but what singing there is usually does NOT have a good voice. And that's not biased. It's fact. It's pretty hard to have a negative biased opinion about music you like =\. Well, some of it anyway. Quote: Originally posted by ELBURITO I know how long it takes to write a song, record it, and accumulate 15 songs for an LP. That is, of course, assuming you writer your own songs =\. Not all of them, or even most of them, do. AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TALENT OF THE VOICE. ...Does anyone know what talent IS? It's what you were born with, that's what it is. If you had to work at it and originally sucked, then it's not talet it's... manufactured talent. Or something. Quote: Originally posted by ELBURITO People like Britney Spears and these American Idol winners walk right into the studio, sing their parts, leave, collect royalties and lip sing on SNL. Yeah, NFK. That's the point... and not all of them lip sync, and if they do, it DEFINITELY has nothing to do with the type of music they sing, since ALL "brands" lip sync while on stage, and ALL have ones that do not. And since nobody knows who's who, there is no more or less of it in any genre. And the Backstreet Boys can actually SING. You shouldn't be making music if you can't sing =\. That doesn't mean it doesn't like them. (Except some rap and some hard rock (screaming). Those you aren't supposed to sing.) ..And no one said Greeny Day was talentless. It said they diodn't have a good voice, at ALL. ...Or at least they're not using it. Of course, with some groups, like They Might Be Giants, it's better when they don't have a real voice. But then They Might Be Giants doesn't have many "good" songs as it originally thought. Just that one so far, actually. Of course, They Might Be Giants is SUPPOSED to be that way. Green Day is making actual music. "Doesn't always work" When has it ever worked? Will Young? Where is he? Where is Hearsay?

They are just another crappy reality TV show designed to make money. Small wonder ITV were the first to do "Popstars". No actually, Star Search couldn't POSSIBLY be "just another reality TV show," because "reality TV" didn't even EXIST at that time. And many current celebrites DID get their start on Star Search, NOT like Kelly Clarkson, or Justin Timberlake who nobody would have ever heard of if it weren't for *N Sync or any of those other "stars" who make less then the rest of the music groups/bands/singers make in a week and nobody should have ever heard of. American Idol is really the only one that can go in that catergory with all that "reality TV" crap, and that one they did fake where they choose the worse singers, and any other shows spawned off of it (that one with the kids....?), though really American Idol can't even go in the same catergory as the rest of them, since they're not making anything or fooling people or being just completely immoral like Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire?, for instance, all they're (American Idol [is]) doing is taking up useful T.V. time with their worthless airspace and double-T.V.-shows, which, in it's book, makes it even worse (Hey!, those people AGREE, and Fear Factor doesn't do anything bad either). (For the record, the double-showing of something so useless that not even the fans care to see it was what made it worse, not the fact that it wasn't bad such as making people marry people.) Never give up. Remember that refusing to give up sometimes means backing off or being calm. |

Not that it's all screaming, but what singing there is usually does NOT have a good voice. What planet are you on? The only reason that lots of rock singers don't sing is because they can't. You are not supposed to scream. I only know two groups that scream: Nirvana and the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols are a relatively crappy punk band (there are better ones) and at least in Nirvana, Kurt Cobain yelled in a tuneful way. However, true Rick music is supposed to be music, and it's supposed to be listened to. Trust me, the only reason more people don't sing is because they can't.

But you can't tell me that majority of Pop Artists don't lip sing Quote: And since nobody knows who's who, there is no more or less of it in any genre I have been near/behind the soundboard of many rock bands (Live, Counting Crows, Stone Temple Pilots etc) and I can guarantee you that they don't lip sing.

[/quote] Agree'd Quote: Green Day is making actual music. are they? Look at their imagine in 1990 when they were with lookout, look at their image now. Look a little different? When did they become poloticians all of the sudden? 10 years ago they were singing about masturbation. I'm not saying they can't have a political opinion, it's just not their place to do anything.3 power chords isn't what I call talent. They may be making music, in an odd way, but they're are so many other bands out there who have way more talent, and arn't big because their music doesn't appel to the general public. Quote: two groups that scream: Nirvana and the Sex Pistols That's not screaming bud, know your facts before you post. Quote: However, true Rick music is supposed to be music, and it's supposed to be listened to. Trust me, the only reason more people don't sing is because they can't. Who are you to say that Nirvana and the Sex Pistols arn't "Rick" because I'm sure they're more rock than anything that came off of a corporate TV show. You don't have to sing to make rock, bud. It's all about the passion. Could Jimi Hendrix sing? Huh? Answer that? Was Jimi Hendrix anything like Roy Orbison, def. not. And if you think Jimi isn't rock, then you need to be educated. Conclusion: Hard Rock is music. Pop music is superficial (for the most part) Lip singing IS in a lot of genres, but mainly in Pop music Green Day (no matter how much I hate them) DOES make music, it's not the...ok, its not good but yes *sigh* you can call it music And last: Nirvana and Sex Pistols don't scream. They ARE Rock, and you don't have to have a 'perfect voice' to be a musician PM me if you want to flame, |

I mean, they've already destroyed their own minds....why do it to so many more youths across America? (I don't want to start a flame, just my opinion.)

And if you think Jimi isn't rock, then you need to be educated. WTF? What I said was in contradiction to God. I like Nirvana. OK, scream isn't the word, but "yell" certainly is. But yell in a melodic way. I know they're rock. God was saying that Rock is about screaming, not singing. I said that Often if they don't sing it's because they can't. Kurt Cobain was the exception. He could sing and he could yell and he could do both at the same time. Jimi Hendrix was "pshychadelic rock", so yes he is. And when did singing come into it? I Jimi Hendrix's music was more influenced around the guitar than the voice. Billy-Joe can sing. Not that well, but he is a lot better than lots of people around here. And if you say that playing a few power chords isn't talent, you really haven't played heared either Good Riddance or Wake me up when September ends. I like rock music. I also resent the fact that many people believe that rock isn't about singing, but screaming. To which I answer "what the hell was Freddie Mercury about then?" Freddie Mercury had a really powerful voice, second only to Meat Loaf who has an exceptional voice. Wow. So how can you say that there is no place for singing in rock music? Sure, there are lots of people in it who can't, but they are a relative minority. Ozzie Osbourne is another example. So it Robert Plant. Quote: I side with you on your hatred of Green Day, Burito.

It's called "Oi" punk, you know, in case you didn't know what Green Day were ripping off, diluting and marketing to all the 12 year olds in America. "I hate America! I'm so different!!!!!111lolZ!!!!!" No, they wern't the first so get over it. P.S. My music pwnz yours. I really couldn't care less if Green Day was the first band ever to make a song with America in the title and saying negative things about it. If you really did think like that, you'd only ever like one band. And it's not really against America. It's about the media. It's about hollywood. It's about how everything is fake. If you name one band that you like, I bet you'd be able to find at least one song by tham that wasn't original in every single way. Besides. If one song gets you so annoyed, you must have serious problems. It's just a song making a social comment! Don't let it get to you! |
