Idol 2011


No need for "American Idol" detractors to read this thread. This is directed at those who like myself, enjoy listening to the talented contestants and following the show. I've been watching for many years and I think that this is by far the most talented bunch ever. Lauren, the 15 year old country singer is amazing as is Scotty, Pia, Haley, and Paul. It's a damn shame that the cds that are produced after the show are generally dumbed down and uninteresting.

I agree with the theory about girls/women doing most of the voting. I'm a middle aged guy. I watch the show with my wife. We love that show, but my wife definately does the voting. I'm bummed that Pia got voted off. She is great. Not to mention a total babe! But you know she got tons of valuable exposure and SOMEBODY will pick her up, sign her to a recording deal, make her a star. Look at Jennifer Hudson, or Chris Daughtry. Both of them have seen major success yet neither of them won the AI crown.
Personally I think America should get rid of Paul next. He drives me nuts for some reason. Just my opinion is all.
Ok, so Pia wasted no time getting snapped up for a record deal. Did everybody notice that she began the process of signing paperwork for a record deal with Jimmy Iovine (I think thats his name isn't it?) and Interscope records...just hours after she got booted off. Nobody was gonna let that talented beauty "flounder" for too long. Good for her!
Also, on Wednesday nights show (4-13), how's about contestant James Durbin doing Sammy Hagar's 1981 track "Heavy Metal" with none other than Zakk Wilde of Black Label Society on guitar!! I thought it was Badass. Then again I am an audiophile, AND a Metalhead as well.
Anybody else a B.L.S. fan out there?
