PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Gene Simmons -- Love(?) Thread" |
*snort* I confess, I did want to join the KISS Army at one point in my sick sick childhood, but I always prefered Peter Criss to Gene Simmons. But man, i hope FOX gives us Gene in all his trashy-mouthed glory this week. 
For folks who missed it, here's the transcript of Simmons's interview with NPR's Terry Gross: http://www.maniahill.com/funny/Gene_Simmons_Terry_Gross_Fresh_Air_02_04_2002.htm 
on her own tangent since 1971

You have to be kidding? He was terrible! He knocked almost everyone that COULD sing. The twins at the end both had talent and he ripped them on the song they sang...not their ability. Simon even went against him at times.

I agree with you Vols....... and did u notice how he made sounds while some contestants were honestly trying to audition? Talk about no respect........ Even though yodeling is not exactly 'my bag'... I couldnt believe he made fun by trying to yodel along with him. and I have a much lower opinion of him, just by how he dissed some of the auditioners.........

Actually it had nothing to do with his voice. What Gene said was that being a pop idol would be difficult for a christian since there are alot of themes that would go against his values as well as rebellion. He made the point that in country you can get away with lyrics that are clean and in line with a christian viewpoint.

The twins....Their voices were nothing special. They were mostly in key, but the sound of their voices was just boring, IMO. Their phrasing was not right for Boyz II Men (I think that's what Randy was getting at) and neither was impressive enough to make it to Hollywood, IMO. I thought, with the exception of the guy that Randy raved about, these people were nothing special at all. I LVOED the first guy...he was awesome and he sang one of my favorite songs (Sam Cooke's "Change Is Gonna Come"). His voice was very smooth/silky and he's definitely my favorite so far. As for the others...the gal in pink was interesting...she had a decent enough voice, but she was too throaty. The ends of her notes (when she wasn't trying to belt it) were very pretty, though. The Louie Armstrong guy was odd. He definitely has some talent there...again...just too throaty for me. But I'm glad he made it through because I want to hear him singing something else. I didn't like the guy who sang In the Still of the Night (he sounded like a cheap imitation of Nick Lachey - which isn't saying much for his talents ). He was okay, but I wouldn't have put him through. The first set of twins should have chosen something more flattering to their voices, but they were pretty good. That yodeler was cool...too bad this is American Idol and not Yodeling Idol cause that boy can yodel. And I liked the projection guy in a William Hung sorta way. He was actually (mostly) in tune, but doesn't have any sort of musicality about him. But he was cute in a weird way. And Leroy Wells. OMH! He was too funny. I actually understood everything he said (that certainly helped), but regardless, he was just hilarious! Can you dig it!  Got blog?

Did anyone else find it odd that Gene seemed to just take over? He was telling contestants when to start and appeared to be ordering around Randy, Paula & Simon.

But vols, this is NOT just a singing contest. There have been lots of people who've been cut who were excellent singers (not necessarily this season...and often the better singers are cut once they get to the last rounds before the final 10/12 are selected). If it were a singing contest, Clay would've gotten through without any comment about his 'look' and George would've also gotten through without the talk of him looking too old. I mean, if some opera singer came and auditioned, it is not very likely they'd get through. It's about "the whole package" and they usually emphasize this pretty well throughout the season.And even if it WAS just a singing contest, I'm sorry, but the twins needed a lot of help, vocally. Their voices in and of themselves were decent, as I've said, but they just don't have the awareness of how best to use their voices (hence the cracks on them being too 'boy band-ish' and on choosing the wrong song) and they have a very choppy sound with their attempts at runs. It just sounded unnatural. I do agree with you, though, that Gene was rude. He was particularly rude to the yodeler. I think he was just trying to be like Simon. And I think it was messed up how Simon did those twins...separating them and then still saying 'no' to both was pretty messed up and served no purpose other than to embarass them.  Got blog?
