I hate American Idol.

[Unchainme]

Can't stand this shit that gets pushed every year from Rupert Murdoch. Trotting out every year is this shitty ass excuse of a show that makes it a goal of finding the next "music" superstar..which pretty much translate to whomever the most 12 year old girls, joe thunder and steve savicki find the cutest. And no, it doesn't just stick to one channel at one time slot, for months on end you get subjected to some lame brain dj's and local anchormen and women talking this show up.

And worst yet, I guess Simon Cowel is subjecting america to more of the same complete and utter shit with "The X-factor", which I assume is the same damn show under a different wrapper.

I cannot wait until this shit is over.

[Terry]

It's pretty much like Star Search...minus the talent and Johnny Carson's drunk sidekick.

I dunno. Find I just don't give much of a shit about contemporary pop culture anymore.

I can certainly see why TMZ-style journalism has become so popular; the offstage/offcamera lives of today's celebrities, while nothing unique or spectacular, are far more interesting than the records/tv shows/movies they are involved with.

[SilvioDante]

My biggest problem with the show (and there are many) is that ever since Bo Bice was on, they pick some complete tool every year, like Chris Daughtry, and anoint him "the rocker". Then he goes out and does karaoke versions, and bad ones I may add, of great rock tunes. At this point I have to explain to my kids that the AI version sucks, that ain't rock and roll, and how that show is actually killing rock and roll.

It is a vicious cycle....

[Panamark]

Australian Idol sucks too....

Dunno if its the same, but the winners dont receive any
royalties from album 1, which of course is the only
one that ever generates sales. They sign away this
right to Sony/bmg to participate.

One ex contestant just spilled the beans here,,,,,,

General Larry Platt: A Real American Idol - Reality Rocks (http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/301708/general-larry-platt-a-real-american-idol/)

General Larry Platt: A Real American Idol
Posted Thu Jan 14, 2010 1:53pm PST by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

This week on American Idol, 62-year-old novelty rapper General Larry Platt upstaged all the "real" singers on the Atlanta auditions episode with his instantly viral hit, "Pants On The Ground." But Platt is not just some William Hungian TV clown angling for 15 minutes of YouTube fame. His real legacy in fact extends all the way back to the '60s, when he was a teenage crusader for the Civil Rights Movement in Georgia.

That's right: General Larry Platt isn't just a wannabe American Idol, he's a bona fide American hero. The man was even honored with his own holiday in Atlanta, Larry Platt Day, on September 4, 2001, for his "priceless and immeasurable contributions to society" and "his great energy and commitment to equality and the protection of the innocent and for his outstanding service to the Atlanta community and the citizens of Georgia."

On that fateful day, the Georgia General Assembly declared: "For the past 40 years, Larry Platt has given of himself in service to the people of the City of Atlanta, the State of Georgia, and the nation...Larry Platt merits the highest recognition for his many valuable contributions to the Civil Rights Movement and his dedication to the struggle for equality and human rights."

Platt was actually a student of Martin Luther King Jr. back in the day, which makes the timing of his sudden fame quite interesting, given that next Monday is MLK Day. In the early '60s when he was only 16 (see the 16-year-old Platt in the photograph here; he's the one on the far left), he worked with activist groups like the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and Southern Christian Leadership Conference to fight racial segregation in the South. He was even beaten while participating in the infamous "Bloody Sunday" protest march from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama.

During that time, according to an article in USA Today about the unlikely "overnight celebrity," Platt actually got his "General" nickname from prominent civil rights leader Reverend Hosea Williams, who was impressed by his valiant efforts. The General remains a community activist to this day, working with the United Youth Adult Conference (a volunteer organization set up to find missing children in the Atlanta area) and fighting public foreclosures.

Somewhat sadly, General Larry Platt may now be forever better known as the "Pants On The Ground Guy," rather than for his years of activism. But if his American Idol fame draws more public attention to his heroic past and what he's stood for all his life, then in way his audition will be far more important and impactful than the one by whoever ends up winning American Idol this year.

Plus, admit it: "Pants On The Ground" is a darn good song. Really, every day should be Larry Platt Day.

You would think people would be getting tired of laughing at retards by now.

Apart from the shitty music that is created at the end of the process there is something pretty immoral about have teams of researchers tell completely untalented people who are often weak minded that they are great.

They keep repeating to them how good they are through the early non televised rounds so that they can wheel them out to Cowell and his panel to be laughed at and humiliated in front of millions.

Kind of shitty medieval thing to do to people. At least the village idiot used to know who he was, he didn't have a bunch of people telling him he was brilliant until he built himself up a bit and then have it all kicked away from him by a grinning cunt who has never been connected with a single decent piece of music.

You know, they really do provide a useful purpose.

[chefcraig]

What kills me is the absurd age restrictions for performers on the show. Why are only people between the ages of 16 and 28 allowed to compete? Surely a great portion of the viewing audience is beyond 30, so why shouldn't their age group be represented? Oddly enough, the show's producers require no restrictions upon the age of people watching the damned thing, now do they? :umm:

it's not just Cowell. they turn the winner over to Clive Davis' record company. Davis is way past his prime, he's got Rod Stewart and Carlos Santana making the same album three or four times.

and then the local FOX news runs AI stories on their news shows, which makes those news shows unwatchable.

And anyway, you're almost on the money, but it's sadder than that.

There's actually a shit load of people who watch that shit who WISH they were there, amongst all the "Dreams" & "Magic"... like a fucking retarded fairy tale.

Besides, speaking of Medieval, the only thing that changed from the Medieval times is that we have indoor plumbing.

Dragons were replaced by UFOs.

Religion was replaced on some circles by science.

And the general knowledge of the average man is about the same as it was those days, if not even less.

So, why wouldn't a retarded show continue to have success while really good stuff slips through the cracks unnoticed?

WRONG PB.
according to the social security department, legally blind is 50% or more vision loss.
i know this because i have been through all the tests the social security dept.
requires to verify the amount of vision loss.
50% is the federal requirement to be considered legally blind.
i have to get re-examined every7 years.
i am up for review again in december 2015.
i just went through a review in december 2008.

i know what i am talking about.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

If You Are Blind Or Have Low Vision— (http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10052.html)

If you are blind or have low vision If you are blind, we have special rules that allow you to receive benefits when you are unable to work.

We pay benefits to people who are blind under two programs: the Social Security disability insurance program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. The medical rules we use to decide whether you are blind are the same for each program. Other rules are different. We explain the different rules for each program below.

You can get disability benefits if you are “legally blind”
You may qualify for Social Security or SSI disability benefits if you are considered “legally blind.” We consider you to be legally blind if your vision cannot be corrected to better than 20/200 in your better eye, or if your visual field is 20 degrees or less in your better eye.

You can get disability benefits even if you are not legally blind
If your vision does not meet the legal definition of blindness, you may still qualify for disability benefits if your vision problems alone or combined with other health problems prevent you from working. For Social Security disability benefits, you also must have worked long enough in a job where you paid Social Security taxes. For SSI payments based on disability and blindness, you need not have worked, but your income and resources must be under certain dollar limits.

How you qualify for Social Security disability benefits
When you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn credits that count toward future Social Security benefits.

If you are legally blind, you can earn credits anytime during your working years. Credits for your work after you become blind can be used to qualify you for benefits if you do not have enough credits at the time you become blind.

Also, if you do not have enough credits to get Social Security disability benefits based on your own earnings, you may be able to get benefits based on the earnings of one of your parents or your spouse.

For more information about Social Security disability benefits, contact us to get Disability Benefits (Publication No. 05-10029). This booklet also is available in Braille.

Disability freeze
There is a special rule that may help you get higher retirement or disability benefits some day. You can use this rule if you are legally blind but are not getting disability benefits now because you are still working. If your earnings are lower because of your blindness, we can exclude those years when we calculate your Social Security retirement or disability benefit in the future. Because Social Security benefits are based on your average lifetime earnings, your benefit will be higher if we do not count those years. We call this rule a “disability freeze.” Contact us if you want to file for this “freeze.”

You can get SSI disability payments
SSI payments are based on need. Your income and resources must be less than certain dollar limits. The income limits vary from one state to another. You need not have worked under Social Security to qualify for SSI. Ask your local Social Security office about the income limits in your state and contact us for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) (Publication No. 05-11000). This booklet also is available in Braille.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

program below.

You can get disability benefits if you are “legally blind”
You may qualify for Social Security or SSI disability benefits if you are considered “legally blind.” We consider you to be legally blind if your vision cannot be corrected to better than 20/200 in your better eye, or if your visual field is 20 degrees or less in your better eye.



can you point out the "50%" provision/clause. i didn't see it, maybe i can qualify like you.

[ace diamond]

we consider you to be legally blind if your vision cannot be corrected to better than 20/200 in your better eye, or if your visual field is 20 degrees or less in your better eye.
this means if it is not correctable up to 20/200 either with glasses or surgery. 20/200 is 50% vision loss.
20/400 is completely blind.
My vision is currently 20/325.
20 degress or less field of vision means peripheral vision.



can you point out the "50%" provision/clause. I didn't see it, maybe i can qualify like you.

see above.

[ace diamond]

ALSO, pb, if you look up the policy on how often they review cases, you will find the only cases that get reviewed every 5-7 years are the hopeless ones that they do not expect to ever get any better, only worse.
my case get's reviewed every 7 years.

Too many goddamned lazy fucks making false disability claims and getting paid to sit at home and not work, while everyone else has their nose-to-the-grindstone, on the hustle, and busting their ass in order to take up the slack just to fund it all.

I can guaran-fuckin-tee that if the system discovered they were sending checks to someone who's content on doing nothing but being a burden to society and an internet jackass, those checks would stop coming in.

most places will not hire because it is too much of a liability.
once they have met the affirmative action quota, so they don't get sued
for discrimination, they don't even want to talk to you.

i know because i have been told to get lost, forget it, and to go fuck myself in a litany of "politically correct" ways.

even if you can find a place needing to hire a token disabled person, they give you the shittiest position, and they treat you so very horribly to make you quit so it won't be their fault.

i know because i have been told to get lost, forget it, and to go fuck myself in a litany of "politically correct" ways.




So looking for a job must remind you of logging on here.....

:gulp:

[LoungeMachine]

Actually i bought the 120 watt crate solid state amp from a friend of mine for $100.
i've told you this before.




Well, you OVERPAID for it then, moron.

:lmao:

He took you like a blindman......

[ace diamond]

You dont get paid for gigs?

:lmao:

nope.
it's pay to play out here.

[ace diamond]

"HOSTILE COMBOVER" is gonna be the title of my 4th album.

[ace diamond]

pawnshops out my way would have charged 3 times as much.

[kwame k]

easier said than done.
most places will not hire because it is too much of a liability.
No one has had the heart to tell ya, Ace. Most places have a weight restriction;)


once they have met the affirmative action quota, so they don't get sued
for discrimination, they don't even want to talk to you.

Nothing personal but honestly, if I saw you coming I wouldn't hire you either....see above post!


even if you can find a place needing to hire a token disabled person, they give you the shittiest position, and they treat you so very horribly to make you quit so it won't be their fault.

No Ace, once people get to know you that's when they treat you like shit. You seem to naturally attract it.

[LoungeMachine]

nope.
it's pay to play out here.

Not for real bands, moron.

Only desperate suckers and hacks "pay to play" in Italian Restaurants on a wednesday night. for 6 people. :lmao:

Dude, you're not playing The Whiskey for god's sake, get over yourself.

:gulp:

There's a word for musicians who play gigs for free.

They're called amateurs.

But then again, calling you a musician is kinda cheapening the word.

The King of Siam, when asked how truthful was the woman who wrote a memoir about him (that would be adapted to become a book, musical and film known as Anna and the King) replied that Anna Leonowens "has supplied by her invention that which is deficient in her memory."

This just might be the case with ace. Although I believe if he'd claimed to be deaf rather than blind, things would have gone smoother. At least it would have explained the music...

ALL BANDS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PAY TO PLAY SYSTEM IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.

Only desperate suckers and hacks "pay to play" in Italian Restaurants on a wednesday night. for 6 people. :lmao:
I play for free there. i have an open invitation from the owner to play there anytime i want. Mr. Romano loves my show.

Dude, you're not playing The Whiskey for god's sake, get over yourself.
I played there in 1998 in a band called "Veneno Lulu".
the same guy that books bands at the whisky these days, "MR. GIG",
is the same guy that books shows in the inland empire.

Lounge, some people truly play just because the love playing and don't give a damn about being paid for it.
the are called "purists".
i am one of them.

But then again, calling you a musician is kinda cheapening the word.

NO IT ISN'T.
a musician is a person who plays a musical instrument, however proficiently or however badly.
it is not cheapening the term.

btw, where is that video of you proving you can play better than me?

oh that's right, you can't prove it.

so lounge, the challenge still remains.

prove that you can play better than me or else shut the fuck up.

How the FUCK did I not see that one coming?

Well played, Iggy.

...I had serious doubts about Ellen, but having a donut-humper on the judges panel is kinda cool, 'cause she's greenlighting all the hot chickies!:baaa:

[Terry]

Even the missus, who watches virtually every reality competition show that is churned out, refuses to watch AI.

[Mr Walker]

I still watch it. I enjoy the whole ritual that my wife and I go through in watching it together. It's nice. For me it's an overdone Karaoke contest... no more, no less and has little impact on my musical tastes, likes or dislikes.

With that being said... there's a curly haired blond on the show this season who looks like a young version of Kim Bassinger in her fuck-doll prime.
Good stuff!

[Mr Walker]

Next season's judges... Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez & Steven Tyler

[GreenBayLA]

I heard the JLo & Elton John rumor, not Tyler but it's all over the internets. Chance to enhance "Brand Tyler" w/ Idol reboot?" Maybe but that show has jumped the shark and sinking fast w/out Cowell.

video link but marked as private WTF?

"One obstacle to Tyler being a regular is his schedule. Right now, Aerosmith has dates booked through September. Lots of them. They have many more lined up around the world, and are expected to make an album before the end of the year. It’s not clear if Tyler understands the “Idol” schedule. What will the other band members do from January through May of next year if Tyler has to be in a TV studio two days a week?"

Ah, replace Tyler with another famous rock singer?!?!?!? But just 2 days a week....

[Starwood]

Given what this show represents, and how this show reflects upon the USA, Starwood is not surprised there is Jihad against Western culture.

Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken are coming to my town! I can't fucking wait! These guys are legends. :fufu: Our pathetic society put these two mediocre talents on a pedestal to be "stars" - what a joke.

More realistically it was millions of teen aged girls with cell phones, each dialing like mad repeatedly. Even so, it really doesn't give you much faith in the taste of the upcoming generation.

Next season's judges... Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez & Steven Tyler

I have no problem with that. I am forced to watch the damn show so may as well enjoy the judging.
