YankeeDixieDoodle 442 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 01-26-07, 11:04 AM (EST) "No judges of talent" Paula, Randy, and Simon are no judges of talent. Wednesday night's first auditioner, who sang I Heard it Through the Grapevine, was the best I've heard all season. But Simon said he was "too caberet" and "over the top" while Paula and Randy passively went along with him. Yet, they let others, with far less talent, who were much more caberet and over the top, squeal their way through to Hollywood.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I am watching reruns of season one and at one point Simon says he doesn't like Clarkson (Says she doesn't stand out etc) and puts her in the maybe list. I think the judges get too caught up in looks.....most times their reason for not accpting a person is: You're not what we're looking for....You don't look like an american idol...... What exactly does an American Idol look like anyway?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

geekboy 1778 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 01-30-07, 11:06 AM (EST) 3. "RE: No judges of talent" I remeber the audition from Wednesday night that you are talking abut, and while it was happening, i was thinking to myself "Trying too hard, not getting through", and i was right. Its easy for us to sit back and watch, and criticize the judges, but as Randy says all the time "We're looking for the best, the person who will stand out and bring something fresh, those people who have the talent, and would never get their foot in a recrd company's door" Granted, i don't always agree, but they're just doing their job. They've seen A LOT more singers than you and I have, and they know how the business works A LOT better than you and I do. geekboy   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Colonel Zoidberg 3645 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 01-31-07, 09:25 AM (EST) 4. "RE: No judges of talent" Simon and Randy will take a performance that was just OK and tell the performer that they were the worst singer in history, and then the exact same performance from another person gets them passed through to Hollywood. It's as if Simon doesn't want to do his job anymore and is therefore trying to discourage people from trying out, thereby weakening the talent pool and killing the show. He has no taste in anything, and perfectly good singers who got a "yes" vote from Randy and Paula got an angry "no" from Simon. Save the vitriol, anger, and hate for the people who deserve it. Brandy from last night was one who did.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: No judges of talent" LAST EDITED ON 01-31-07 AT 10:21 AM (EST) I don't consider this a conspiracy theory GB. Every year the judges have in mind the "type" of singer they want to win. Noone can convince me otherwise. It has been reported by numerous sources that talented people get turned away before they even get in to see S/P/R because "they aren't what they are looking for this season". I believe they want a bluesy type to win this year. A lot has pointed towards that so far during the auditions. Rewatch the previous audition tapes from this year so far and count how many times "blues" has been said by the judges. A Tribe Original!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

geekboy 1778 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 01-31-07, 11:13 AM (EST) 7. "RE: No judges of talent" Hi Mags - I have to disagree with you. You, in your reply, are adding fuel to another conspiracy theory. In essence, what you are saying is that the judges/producers have a type of singer in mind that they want to win. This goes along with the theory that the judges comments "sway the voting public" into voting for whom THEY want to win. If this was true...would Taylor have won last season? I really don't think that AI would have picked Taylor to be the season's winner. I think the Taylor Hicks win blew most, if not all, of these 'AI is rigged' theories out of the water. geekboy   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Magnolia_Rocker 2139 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 01-31-07, 11:59 AM (EST) 8. "RE: No judges of talent" Come'on now GB. You are going to sit there and say that the judges don't have the person picked out that "they" want to win??? I'm not saying they "will" win because the public does the voting but you can bet your left....ummm...PG13 board....ear that they have a favorite. You're confusing the psychos that say the voting in fixed with what I'm saying. Two totally different things. Everyone has opinions and favorites, even the judges.

"RE: No judges of talent" Either I totally misread your previous post, or you're changing your story here. Above, you stated that they pass over talented people because 'they ar not what they are looking for' that year.

Magnolia_Rocker 2139 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 02-02-07, 12:15 PM (EST) 10. "RE: No judges of talent" The producers that pre-judge do pass over talented peeps. They also say "You're not what we're looking for this year". Now, that to me means "you've got tons of talent but for whatever reason we have this year your not going through to S/P/R. My question to you is why do they do that? The ones having their favorites I was referring to S/P/R from the ones that the producers "do" let through. A Tribe Original!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

geekboy 1778 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 02-02-07, 02:08 PM (EST) 11. "RE: No judges of talent" How do you know this? Who did you get this information from? I find this quite hard to believe. Last year alone we had a "country blonde", a "hardcore rocker", a "country guy", a "blues/rock guy", a couple "R&B girls", a "gospel girl", a "jazzy guy"... I don't see a pattern there. Looking back over the other seasons, there really wasn't a pattern in any year. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I guess i just don't buy it. geekboy   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Magnolia_Rocker 2139 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 02-02-07, 02:51 PM (EST) 12. "RE: No judges of talent" There have been a couple of people on this board that had very close friends/family try out for AI and they were told this by the screening judges. You can choose to believe these posters and/or the friends/family that told them this are flat out lying but I choose not to. I don't trust the producers behind shows like this any further than I could throw them to honestly look for "only" the best. Afterall, that would make for very poor entertainment in the eyes of many viewers. Just my 2 cents. A Tribe Original!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

YankeeDixieDoodle 442 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 02-16-07, 03:32 PM (EST) 15. "RE: No judges of talent" I've read quite a bit, on other MB's, about the pre-screening process. What astounds me is that the producers send so many, with no vocal ability whatsoever, to the judges. And, the TV time they waste on their "auditions" and tantrums when they aren't chosen. We see too much drama. And, too little talent.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

MONEY. Yes, i tire of the awful auditions, but there is a huge number of viewers that ONLY tune in to see the trainwrecks. That is why each season, there are more of the bad auditions. People want it. People watch in droves. And, it means money.

When the last two male and females were sitting there...both that were rejected were much better than the two picked (The female had been told she was the best of the day). Isn't it Simon that always says: If you forget your words you are doomed yet both that were picked to go on forgot their words. First season Simon disliked Clarkson, said she was not an AI persona...she didn't stand out yet liked her voice very much, etc and put her on the maybe list....they needed one more girl to go on and Randy and Paula fought for Clarkson......and as they say the rest is history.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: No judges of talent" I think that randy and Simon are actually pretty good judges of talent. I can never figure paula out. Becuase the show is so highly rated, and because,unfortunately, people seem to want to see more trainwrecks,The show seems to focus much more on the cr*p than it used to. I sometimes wonder if they let people through to evoke a specific response and try to keep people interested in what's going on. I agree it does seem as if they are inconsistant about who they let through and why!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
