American Singer/Songwritter???

Unread post by celebraremos » Mon Jan 19, 2004 10:39 pm

Hey guys now that the new american idol is starting up, do you think it would be a good idea to have an american singer/songwritter where people with actual musical talent compete? I know that it would be totaly popularizing something that is not meant to be. but i think it would be cool.. thoughts?

word

no one can cast an opinion on a song, if it has meaning to the writer, then its special... its too hard

maybe if they were all given a song to learn then perform it? judged on performance? i dunno...just a thought. this show would have too many little things that people would debate on.

if any one of those people would actualy be an idol to me, I would shoot myself right now.

How I loath that show. Where are the terroists when you need them?

I think there was something like this on CMT a while back. I remember watching part of one episode and thinking that it was lame.

I agree with you on the song writing contest. Have different spots available for differeny types of music. Like take a song from a few different genres and have the audience vote, Fuck what simon thinks..

I'm saying its a different idea. I saw Simon on the Stern show and he was saying that he could listen to Coldplay and not know what to say. That just proves Simons a fucking retard. Those singers on Idle try to hard to sound good..
