Soooo, yesterday I glanced at a headline that Irish Girl Whose First Album Flopped has worked with Randy Jackson in the past. And I also read a quote from Nigel Lythgoe pissily defending the fact that there are much-better-than-amateurs in the competition this year. And then I read someone’s commentary that in future years any musician not currently on contract could then potentially audition for AI, win, then have a new contract!
So… like, if Paula Abdul didn’t have a contract… she could, like, audition, and win American Idol.
That’s messed up.
i dont think randy and the irish girl actually have worked together, they were just in the same record company, but that company is Huge, they probably never met. and of course paula couldnt audition, shes like 15 years too old. but i guess anyone of the right age without a contract can audition, but that doesnt mean they will make it on the show. so far they have only picked people that were unknown to almost everyone. i bet u never heard of carly, until she went on idol.
Hello!, True, true, true, true, and true.
I do have concern for the future seasons of AI, though. If people get it into their head that this is an acceptable way to get another contract when they’ve lost or parted ways with the company of their first then this show loses a big chunk of its charm.
I don’ think Paula Abdul could win. She was never that good…LOL.
LOL. Kyra beat me to it. Paula might audition, but she’s more likely to end up next to William Hung than Carrie Underwood.
Except that Paula is like anciently old … like you will be when you write your memoirs. How old is she, like 92?
-J
it wasn’t commercialised before?
Was it just me, or did Paula seem especially on the depressive side of manic last night?
I thought she was going to burst into tears or pull out a semi-automatic weapon at any moment.
Miss Ann, I donut have a TV right now. I have been told this will be remedied in my future-ish. It makes me sad to know I missed that Paula performance…
The show is supposed to showcase amateur talent. Once you sign a recording contract, you lose that status. It doesn’t matter if the studio goes belly-up.
And Paula is just plain evil. A shark in wolves’ clothing.
