American Idol Season 9 - Page 3 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Watching the 1st episode right now on TiVo. Watched every episode last year and most the year before. Last season I watched it with my girlfriend, this year I'll be watching it w/ 2+2.

I didn't forget how terrible these early episodes are. They're sooo painful.

Fallon opened tonight as Neil Young on a dark stage playing the guitar and harmonica and singing...wait for it..."Pants on the Ground".

Larry Platt was on the View today. He's certainly taking advantage of his 15 minutes. You know he'll be back on the show later in the season.

Yep, all of those last few guys did. Imo they weren't very good.

Lastnights episode as pretty forgettable. So more than likely one of the final 3 came from that group.

i've only been watching idol for a few seasons and i didn't think it was possible but this was noticeable the worst hour of idol auditions i've seen. the editing/pace was off. the talent was forgettable. the judges lacked their normalcy. even the human interest pieces were lacking. all around just weird.

They should stop with the emo intros and just show more idiots. Thats what we wanna see.

we do, yes. but apparently the movement the past few seasons involving showing more of the people that make it thru to hollywood is cuz there were complaints that not enough of the contestants were featured and it was unfair for those that did get the early tv time cuz they had a longer/bigger following with voters that carried over into the weekly eliminations and and blah blah blah...

sucks we're stuck with less good tv.

I admit there are sometimes funny to me, but it is usually more situational stuff than just bad singing imo. In fact, if they suck, I sometimes just fast forward until the judges start talking

soooo....they really needed to arrest and cuff the guy?

i really hope the cops/producers/etc ***** for that. he didn't do anything more than i've seen in the past, and the black security guy had him in a headlock literally as the dude was leaving. i'm pretty sure i would've at the very least pushed both of them off.

of course, i would've gotten tackled by the 10 other security guys, but he got did wrong.
