Well, not about bloopers....well, sort of...
Has anyone been watching the audtions for American Idol? One thing I can say, that America is filled with untalented people who really think they can sing, and are willing to make jack#%*$ of themselves. It's so bad it's funny, yet sad to think they are Idol material.
Reminds me that if there were reality shows in the 1960's to find a singer or band, could you imagine the amount of Beatles wannabees they'd have seen?
Reality shows.....let's take that one step further....UNreality shows....

I've seen the first week of American Idol, that''s all. I don't really watch tv. Simon Scowl was his usual cranky self... what else. Oh yeah, lot's of the singers howled and yelped off - key. What a laugh riot! LOL! ;D

What a laugh riot! LOL! ;D I love to watch Simon moan and cringe at the table. Of course, we all suffer when the howling begins. One poor girl tonight set a whole new definition of off-key. She sang "notes" that correspond to no known frequency. They say that that is mathematically impossible. Balderdash. She has proven otherwise with her "skills". Whatever it was that Euclid and Pythagoras didn't define, she has originated. A sort of off-key genius of the sour notes. A whole series of bum, false "clam" pitches signaling the rise of Hell from the Underworld. Her singing made me black and blue all over; honey, she was The Bertha the Bruise. One well placed pair of socks or a large folded up dishrag would have been a very good answer. But it was not to be. Oh the misery as Simon "ducked and covered" his head at the table: "Please stop, please just stop......" Ah, it took American Idol auditions to bring us the return of "Duck and Cover." Thank God, the b.o.m.b. never came. Just the abominable. Spreading a destructive swath of aural horror from coast to coast every Tuesday Night in Jamuary at 8PM. Matching pitch, as a singer, begins with a single note. If one can not master a single note, one can not master an entire song. If "Amercan Idol" could fine these bad singers $5 for every bad off-note they muster up out of their misused and faulty vocal apparatuses, it would pay for all their travel expenses and leave enough left over to open a Prison for Vocal Tormentors and Screechers. Of course, then I might have to spend some time there for the vocal crimes of my youth.............. Anything to make the airwaves safe for sensitive ears. ;D

Just a reminder of the 3pm CST broadcast. Todays show is a very interestin' mix of music (if I should say so myself) It looks like he's got me doin' 2-3 shows a week. I may have to get to work on more stuff for him to broadcast! And, just like with the Research broadcasts, if ya accidentally catch the show & ya accidentally hear somethin' ya really like, I can easily send out a cd for the price of a couple of stamps. www.hiddenhand.net

You'd play it, right? ;D Only if it's wacky enough! ;D Well, actually, I think the wacky Sugar Plum Fairie will probably end up on "What The Hell Was THAT? Vol.2" Not sure when I'll get around to that though. Between pickin' the tunes, & all the sound-editing & volume-levelin' I'll have to do, this cd will take a lot of time to put together....probably about 8 hours! .....but that is gonna be my next mix.

All that remains of it is a recorded shred here and there that, if there is any mercy to be found in the world, will remain tucked away. I depend on my friends to press "delete" should they ever happen upon any examples.

Anyways, as long as you enjoy singing or humming along to your fav' songs, that's still cool.

Ya... you'd think! But actually, I seem to be gettin' crazier musically in my old age. I really can't see myself doin' much else live other than full-throttle hard rock-punk. If I work at goin' in any direction, it would be towards more avant-garde. Go figure

So, since you're obviously much younger than him, why not start a second career? Considering the competition (Smelly Clarkson and (I Wan't My) NickelBack...) I think you'll blow the doors off, musically speaking. I'll buy your CD. I'll even start you off with a new band name ... uhhhmmm.. Snorkle PunkHorse...How's that? ;D

Songs that should be forever banned from being used for American Idol Tryouts or during the finals of American Idol
Anything that Whitney Houston Recorded Somewhere Over The Rainbow The song about Standing on Your SHoulders...(??) that Josh Groban recorded Lady Marmelade
If you can think of other songs that should be forever banned from massive audio murder...share it here.
There were a couple of girls who sounded alot like Yucko's "singing"....they need to marry a rock star and have their screeches recorded on those artist's cds.

The last episode of Idol was the last elimination before the top 12 finalists were picked. I was sad to see Gideon, the young black guy who sang Sam Cooke songs like nobody's business, but the kept the dorky kid who was nicknamed chicken little, and sings strange old songs.
Yikes, what happened to the world to get rid of good singers and keep the nursing home idols?

I had caught some auditions for "So You Think You Can Dance" and was amazed at how badly some of those people danced and had the audacity to say they were "dance instructors". Like the one judge told the young lady, "You should give your students their money back". What one does to get themselves on tv. even to make a fool of oneself, never ceases to amaze me.
