Anyone watching "Idol" this year??? Reply #15 – May 15, 2008, 10:24:00 PM There's always talk on the radio mid week and the one thing that has changed much this year - they don't care about finding "untapped talent" any longer like they used to. Cook has already had a recording contract in the past as do many of the other people who had made it into the top few picked out. If the show stuck to its roots about LOOKING for talent, not exposing those who have already been exposed and failed, the singers may be less experienced but it would make a lot more sense.Just for this reason, I hope the other David wins. He obviously is starting out but in my opinion, there just shouldn't be any reason for anyone who has had anything more than private events or records to be on the show. Otherwise, why not just stick all the big names on the show and call it good? Quote Selected

Anyone watching "Idol" this year??? Reply #20 – May 16, 2008, 12:49:09 AM I also believe an artist needs to write what they sing in order for it to sound believable - there isn't enough of this today. That's for another show on a different day though. I don't pay attention as really I don't care, but I'm sure Cook as written something at some point - I can't say the same about David A. I just figured I'd point out the issue of people with professional experience getting somewhere in the show. Either way I'm sure David Cook will now succeed and beyond that of the other as he's got the talent and no father getting in the way (IE - NOT HELPING like he thinks he is) that gets banned from places by putting himself where he shouldn't be (I don't know the full story, but if David A's dad is anything like he sounds, I'd hate being around him). Another pointless news story that is found everywhere and it's impossible to ignore unless living under a rock. Quote Selected

But you also have to think, what if people have a good voice but aren't creative enough to write something? What if someone can write the best songs but a lawnmower sings better than them? People do what they're good at. I'm sure the person writing the song doesn't care that they're not performing it, they're just glad it's being performed. Quote Selected
Anyone watching "Idol" this year??? Reply #22 – May 16, 2008, 08:26:26 AM I agree Alex... I can sing, but I can't write lyrics or music... I can barely read music! Seriously.... I sing by hearing the music first, then picking up the notes. It's how I've always done it. For some reason I just can't figure out how to read the music, but hearing it.... no problem.

Reply #24 – May 16, 2008, 12:40:41 PM Quote from: LittleAngel1198;219060I do not like David Archuletta... he's a little dork and he doesn't have a very good range of abilities. He's only good at singing the ballads, and he really needs to have more range than that. I really think the only reason he is in the finals is because of all the little teeny boppers.... I could almost bet that when he was in school, no girls could stand him, but now that he's on tv, they all love him. If he wins, it won't be based on his talent.Exactly. Thats how american idol is anyway. It isnt about talent, its about popularity. Quote Selected
