Also I stumbled upon some fucking rock-idol wannabes the other day. Featuring Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro, Jason Newsted (wtf) and someone else (could be Mickey Mouse himself).
So this is what rock has become 2008. Attitude. tattoes. and a big fucking mouth. Lame, lame. So insanely lame. Metal is about pain, power and passion so of course my advice is to bring all this clowns to China or Japan where they can starve themselves a couple of weeks, which is good for true inspiration. Perhaps even fucking Tibet. I´ve heard Mickey Mouse has a huge cult over there. Bigger then Dalai Lama, himself..

I agree when it comes to commercialized rock and metal, I'm incredibly annoyed at what goes on with that shit.
But as far as Idol goes, it's a different story...doesn't reside in the rock or metal realm. Course some of the contestants are those kind of singers, some good, some not. But it's a singing contest period, and I completely understand why some people(especially rock and metal fans) wouldn't like it.
At the same time, I think that anyone who's a real music fan could...if they tried, find something redeeming and even entertaining about it. That's where I am, I love music and tons of different kinds...I always find a couple kids on the show that have real talent and even pick songs I like and sing them well. I like the competition part of it, little different from the typical cop shows and sitcoms. Plus it's a family thing for us, wife and kids like it...we debate over who's better and who's going home, etc....
So yeah, the commercial world of music blows ass...and this is very commercial. But I go in knowing that and don't expect anything different, and have found the fun in the show so I can overlook it.
;D

I´d prefare to watch idol than that rock-contest. At least the idols know they´re pop. Of course you´re correct - if you´re into music you can find great stuff everywhere. I´m sure Michael Bolton has made a couple of great tracks for instance. Not sure I´m ready to check it out, although I know Neil Kernon produced him, just before he made Rage For Order with Queensrÿche.

Was a bit surprised that Cook beat Archuleta, just thought the latter had the bigger fan base. Didn't matter too much to me, thought it was a good season and there were about 5 or 6 of them that could have won it. Once Carli got voted off, I didn't have as much of an opinion...she was my favorite. Cook was good though, fairly versatile...although I think he mainly resides in the alternative realm. At least it's not rap...

I liked David Cooke, and it was pretty awesome that he picked The World I know by Collective Soul to be his last song. And his version of First Time Ever I saw your face a few weeks back was pretty cool actually... I think they got it right this year.... I couldn't believe they boot Carli the week she sang Jesus Christ Super Star, she belted that bitch out of the park...

Weeks after the finale, I have no idea who David Cook is.. Oh well, American Idol is meaningless junk, and has been since it began.
