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."

I won't watch either. Haley was so much better than Lauren last night, and I truly believe better than Scotty. All the songs he sings sound the same. His demographic once he releases albums will not have nationwide appeal, like Carrie Underwood, neither will Lauren (not a chance against Scotty)
Anyway, this show really s*cks now, as do the judges. I'm truly disappointed in JLo and Steve Tyler.
I won't watch AI again, unless the format changes and the judges get tougher. The Voice is as good or better, and the X-Factor is going to kick AI's a$$!

It tells you who's better at getting their dialing parties organized. The sales will tell you what America likes. Y'all can call in five thousand votes each -- but you're only going to buy one release.

87. "Clarifying." |
JBug and her spouse are part of the target market for this finale. They like country music and feel this F2 reflects well on America. Therefore, they are exactly what the show wants right now. But what the show really wants is their after-season dollars. As that designated market, they are the ones who ultimately have the power to determine if it all worked out, because it's their cash that gets channeled into purchasing whatever the winner puts out.And JBug just said she's not going to buy any releases. So she can say she and her spouse like this result. She can say it's great for America. But the spending won't reflect that. All she's doing is voting a negative: I approve of your policies, but you'll never see my ballot. The only way that shows up on the bottom line is as Album Not Sold. Claim it's a success -- but not help to make it one. And in that sense, her opinion very literally will not count. Now let's be fair here: neither does mine.. While I have voted this season just to watch my numbers not matter, I'm very much not the target market for this F2. I could not be less of the target market without departing the nation (and insert your own fervent wishes here). The show does not care what I think of Scotty or Lauren. There are enough people in JBug's segment that it doesn't have to. But one (or possibly two) in that segment has just said there won't be any money coming. And in the end, the only thing that registers as a Mission Accomplished with a label is dollars. If you truly like a singer, you vote with your purse. So how many people are in the group which says: 'This is a great thing, but I'm never going to pay for it?' Free broadcast entertainment as long as the network keeps it coming, but not a download or CD to be bothered with? Isn't that a fun question.

100. "RE: Clarifying." |
Disagree. The big money from this show has been the advertising (tv, web).They have also sold sponsorships (Coke, Ford, AT&T) but that's also advertising. They also make $ from the tour. Yes, they want to share in the post AI success from a monetary standpoint, but they need there to be post AI success because it enhances the luster of AI. Simon knows how important that is and that's why he's putting out $5M to guarantee that his first X factor winner is a pop culture sensation. I read somewhere that he's interested in bringing back pop boy groups, because "it's time". So, he likely has the winner already all picked out and the rest is just window dressing to get to his desired result. You know, like AI. And make the people think they picked the winner. And if the people don't pick the right one, like in season 5, he'll just support the one he wanted to win anyway (Daughtery).

88. "RE: No." |
Success?In AI terms -- ratings were fine and there was a big concern about ratings given Cowell's exit. Despite the complaining about the judges this year, the ratings have held up. That means advertisers were happy and they will keep paying high prices for a spot on the show. In sponsor's terms, the manufactured "everyone but Haley" at F4 helped turn in high vote numbers last week and this week. AT&T is likely very happy. (and btw, they have a very strong presence in the south). In getting buzz? Pia's exit helped with that. Next year they will hype someone from a different genre. R&B maybe? It's been awhile since Ruben. People will tune in again. Question is, will all the other shows erode AI. Voice, X factor. etc. ABC is finally doing a weight loss show and an Amazing Race show. Would not surprise me if they cooked up a singing show, too. I predict Scotty will do well post AI, with an album and being an opening act for some country stars next year. He'll slog it out like Carrie did and in a couple of years he'l be really big. Lauren? They will keep after her to lose more weight and work on transforming her. I see some mag covers coming and they will manufacture her into a success.

LAST EDITED ON 05-20-11 AT 01:37 PM (EST)ABC is finally doing a weight loss show and an Amazing Race show. ??? I really don't want to look at the fall schedule, do I? I think X-Factor's prize money is the biggest hit to Idol's talent base. If I think I'm that good, do I want to try for the $5,000,000 over five years guarantee, or do I want to be stuck scrapping at a few hundred thousand an album for six releases? Wow, there's a tough call...

You didn't think the tour of the devastated houses, schools, businesses with the young boy that saved his family was "special"? You didn't think that the surprise by Josh Turner was "special"? Come on - how can you hate these young singers that much? I'm tired of all the hating on these two. They are the final two - they must have done something right.

Yes they did something right... but the problem with this show has been and always will be that the "something" isn't singing. Rarely do the best singers make it to the finally, and this joke of a "championship" draws attention to that fact like no other season before.

Sure - it is a popularity contest - not just a singing contest - I don't think it is a "joke". It might not be your cup of tea - but apparently a lot of people like them. I haven't always agreed with the results - but I don't downgrade the singers just because they don't sing what I like. It's all in the genre of what people want to hear - this year - it's country - next year - who knows. These kids have appealed to a lot of people and I applaud them for it.

You didn't think the tour of the devastated houses, schools, businesses with the young boy that saved his family was "special"?And just think about all the help the Idol Gives Back program sent their way! -- oh, wait.
The tour was a show pimping. And that was it. The surprise -- should I really investigate to see which label Josh Turner is with? How much attention he's getting with Scotty turning into LockThemDoors? As equations go, motivated self-interest=surprise just about every time for this show. It's not as if the mentors show up out of their belief in the contestants -- right, Ms. Crow? By the way, has she finished eating her namesake yet? I don't hate Scotty. I do despise Lauren. And as Keith noted, all they've done right is appeal to the demographic that the producers want to win over this year. Scotty works well within his range, but that's all he's got. Lauren has the stage presence of a skittish colt who keeps getting kicked by the occupant of the neighboring stall and even less singing ability. Again, I'm very curious to see the ratings for next Tuesday -- national and broken down state by state. North Caroline may pull eighty percent. Florida, twelve.
