American Idol

She is wacky that's for sure, but I'm used to her on "AM-I" so, it would be odd not to see her, but time will tell~ and BTW I was off by a year she's 47~

I found this link on TMZ about Paula, and is she really done? The rehearsals start tomorrow and she's not there, so whats-her-face Posh Beckman will be there in Denver~

PAULA NEWS

 

Victoria Beckham as a judge? Oh my goodness me. Who's crazy, crazy idea was that?

Oh, oh, oh, hang on a mo. Hmm, you know thinking about it, given that Kara really didn't like the "Bikini Girl" and how Posh Becks believes herself to be so very important, there could be some serious fireworks between the two.

Hmm, okay, I concede... simply for the potential of some really nasty fireworks between Kara and Victoria Beckham, having Posh Becks as a judge could be a good move. :devil: :devil: :lol:

 

I suppose everyone knows about the stunning news that Ellen DeGeneres replaced Paula on "AI" is this good news? I'll post a link of fans rebuttal when I find one~

 

I thought the same at first GNRF but I watched her show today and she said that she is going to be "from the audience's perspective". That she's not going to be looking at it from a critical point of view like the other judges but more as someone sitting at home, thinking about if she'd buy a CD of theirs if they won, and stuff like that.

When it was explained, I thought it was a pretty good idea to have something like this because they've never had someone who wasn't a professional with music, so it'll be interesting. I love her though, so I'm hoping it all works out and I can't wait to watch American Idol now.

 

I totally agree you GNRF the thing is she's a comedian, and just looking at her with her 'deadpan expressions' is enough for laughter, and she's never serious, that I've seen, and that's all well and good, for her role as a comedy figure, but for a serious 'choosing the one' can she stay focused and not make wise-cracks? The old adage, time will tell applies on this one. She'll be a busy girl with a 5-day a week show of her own and thank's for the link~

 

*blinkblink* Um, did I just read that right, that Ellen Degeneres is going to be a judge??? I wish they'd gone for Victoria Beckham now, because at least she has some miniscule portion of musical experise, uh, sort of. More than Ellen in my opinion.

Hmmm, in all honesty, I can't help but feel that this is coming from a sort of "Galaxy far far far away" kind of thing, as in, it's so far out of left field that it's not actually in the ball park.

Um, don't the audience give their input when they phone in for their favourites? So why on earth do they feel the need to include that kind of perspective on the judges panel?

All in all, I think that whomever thought of this could be judged as applying a complete stroke of genius with such a choice, or they could have just made a huuuuuge blunder in AI's history. I'm inclined to believe the latter thought I'm afraid.

As others have said, nothing against Ellen, she's great in her own field of comedy and show host, but as a Judge for AI? That's gotta be her best joke.... right?

I guess time will tell....

*shrug* *trying to retrieve what's left of a mind which has just been blown away by such a choice - chuckle*

 

For what I've understood in interviews I've seen and heard Ellen is going to judge from a fans perspective...so in all effects it will be nice to have someone who under stands what the fans want instead of what the industry wants. And on my personal side, I'm glad it was Ellen at least she will know when to keep quiet and not drive us all crazy.

 

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, but I think the Adam fans might be ecstatic to hear that, this morning I heard that Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen are trying to recruit Adam as lead singer for Queen. Roger said that he is a phenomenal talent.

In all honesty, having heard Adam sing with Kiss on American Idol, I don't think his voice is mature enough/big enough, right now to be able to compete and overcome Queens heavy rock backing. Hey, but Roger Taylor thinks he is, so who knows.

I keep trying to imagine what "Somebody to Love" and other such songs might sound with Adam's overly dramatic breath taking, nail scraping screeching and his complete and uttter lack of connection with the songs going on. I have to say that the thought of it is making me cringe right now. I adore Queen have done for years and I'm really nervous about Adam being their first choice as their lead singer.

Still, as said, who knows, he might just fit in there.
