Webkitty | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 06:02 pm     Is anyone watching this? I can't even tear myself away to watch the Mole! (I'm taping it) ~unbelievable~ I think this is going to be huge. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 06:08 pm     I liked the guy that wanted to win it for his mother. I almost started crying with him. I also liked Trinity? She had a great voice. Some of these kids on here are hysterical! I like the two goofy hosts too. This will be on all summer and we get to vote! |
Quietstorm4 | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 06:41 pm     I'm watching too!! Also taping Mole. I can't believe the nerve of some of these people who 'think' they can sing. Amazing, is the only word that comes to mind. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 07:08 pm     I'm taping American idol on one vcr, and courttv at 9:30 (interviewing the Skakel jurors) on another and I'll be watching The Mole downstairs.. ooh.. how do we get to vote?? |
Webkitty | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 07:09 pm     Well, since their all just kids, (as in teens) I would tend to give them a break, plus, its funny! I'm sure most of the non-talent ones just went as a joke, something to do. This will be on again tomorrow night. I guess we'll get to see the final 30. I'm also watching the 100 most romantic movies of all time. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 07:13 pm     Sea, I don't know yet how we get to vote. I guess we'll find out tomorrow night! They said this was a monster hit in England, I've never heard of it before.....I thought it was hysterical! |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Doesn't it seem like British import tv shows are sometimes based on public humiliation? (The Weakest Link) Just an observation. |
Discoinferno | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 09:34 pm     I just can't believe Paula Abdul is qualified to give anyone advice on their singing voice.... isn't hers heavily augmented? But she tried to be the nicest one there. I loved that Stephanie Sugarman chick... she should have gotten to go to Hollywood just by her ballsy move by going back IN to the audition... "I'm not sure... did I make it?" I also loved Ooops kid, drag queen, the heavy set African American girl, kid with the deaf parents, Miss Texas who fell into the table, Phyllis Diller's granddaughter who was told she was extraordinally awful, the farm chick who was told to sue her coach, Tam-i-ka (or was it Ta-ME-Ka), the girl who stalked the producers with her mother on a greyhound, the do you want to hear an original composition kid, and finally the mother who asked the host if he could further her daughters career!!! And how much do you want to bet the two best friends from Miami will make the finals and face a vote against each other! |
Theowl | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 09:41 pm     I really think some of these people think they are on the "Gong Show"!!!  |
Kady | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 10:26 pm     I was totally entertained by the whole show. I would have liked a show for each city. We either got to see some who made or the really awful ones. I would have liked to have seen more. My favorites was the Texas cheerleader, the boy with the deaf parents and one of the Atlanta girls. My favorite awful ones was that group from Dallas. The ones where they showed little bits about don't sing if your underwear is too tight, or sing when you are constipated and never sing Christmas songs. I got it on tape, so I can watch again and LMAO. Who was Phyllis Diller's granddaughter?? |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 10:50 pm     My kids and I watched this and howled the whole time. They also thought it was funny that a couple of the kids managed to bring tears to my eyes. (Kid with the deaf parents and the Star Spangled kid) I think I am going to be glued to this series. Discoinferno: The oops kid was phenomenal! Showing my age by calling all of them kids! |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 05:43 am     This was a very entertaining show. I think the Black Haired good looking kid will make it (he had beautiful teeth and a white shirt on and earrings) just because of his look. I have never laughed so hard. I missed the Texas chick and some of it (I do have work to do around the house), but it was very very entertaining. Also loved the two black women (the one that the english guy said she needed to work on her appearance and the black judge said no she doesn't) and the other large black woman that was afraid she wouldn't make it because of her appearance. Also liked the guy who signed (I was tearing up all the way through this show, then I would giggle). The Zorro guy was hilarious as well. Does anyone know when it comes on again? |
Discoinferno | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 06:20 am     Phyllis Diller's Granddaughter was the one who sang Jeannie in a Bottle with a TON of make up on and way too tight clothes.... Simon told her she was extraordinary... she just lit up and said thank you! Then he added extraordinarily BAD! Her American idol dreams just shattered....... |
Hootyhoot | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 06:24 am     How long was that show? It was on at 11:30 p.m. here because of Red Sox baseball being on early in the evening. I set the VCR to tape for an hour and a half ... and it seems like it stopped before the end ... was it longer than that? I love it! Your heart breaks a little for the awful ones, but the absolute delight of the winners is wonderful to see. What a great chance for some of those kids who probably would never have had another chance ... |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 10:17 am     The show comes on again tonight! On my goodness I was laughing so hard the guy with the Zorro hat was hillarious! I still think the English guy was being an butthole way too much. I mean I felt sorry for the first girl who auditioned and he ripped into her then she was crying and said "Thank you" Poor thing. The rest of the people who got ripped kinda needed it. That girl who said "I wasn't trying to sing the right notes" struck me as having a few belts of liquid courage before she auditioned. I think that the two friends were picked more for their look than their talent. I'm sorry but the first girl with the white singing genie in a bottle was basically picked because of her look her singing was not all the great, her friend, the black girl was a bit better but not that much better. If nothing it was funny and entertaining, but I wouldn't miss THE MOLE for it. I LOVE THE MOLE! I will watch this again too because I know they're gonna make us call some stupid 900# to pay to vote. One of the hosts of the show who they show wiping away tears is a DJ in LA. I'm getting really tired of seeing him everywhere. The other host is very funny. "We're having a judge smackdown" LOL |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 10:42 am     The show's a little painful for me to watch. I have my public singing ups and downs in my teen years, so the show hits a nerve. For me, it's entirely a confidence game. I sound like crap if I feel scared. I went to a music camp when I was younger, and used to get solos in my high school chorus before I messed up once and never got asked again. The same thing happened for a singing competition in middle school. I tied for first place, but the second time I competed I got so nervous that I forgot the words and humiliated myself. I was never asked to compete again. Where oh where was Paula Abdul then to boost my crushed ego? So anyway, I like the show. I especially liked the little Hispanic guy in New York who sang Britney Spears and wore the judges' faces on his shirt. It looks like in the previews that he give a motivational song on top of a table to the other singers. What moxy! BTW, I was practicing MY audition in kitchen while the show was on because I have issues! |
Buttercup | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 12:29 pm     I also thought the show was great. Hootyhoot, the show lasted an hour and a half.

Imbewitched | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 02:49 pm     Oh my goodness!! At some points during the show last night I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. Then the next minute I would almost be crying with joy for the ones that made it to the next round. I do like this show. One of the two girls that are friends was a contestant on both Popstars. I think she made it to the workshop in the first one but choked. And in the second one she didn't make the workshop at all. I don't think she has improved. |
Dahli | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 03:12 pm     Please tell...what network is carrying this?? Where can we catch it? |
Ketchuplover | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 03:30 pm     TONITE 8 CENTRAL ON FOX DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Did I make it? |
Bananaclip | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 03:50 pm     Mssilhouette, the girl in the white was on Popstars 1 and 2. I am so sick of seeing her! She made it to finals both times on PopStars then wasn't picked. I wasn't surprised to see her on American Idol at all! I'm sure we will be seeing her everytime there is an audition show like this. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 03:51 pm     Imbewitched.. do you recommend wearing Depends while viewing?? snortle.. |
Bananaclip | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 03:55 pm     Oops sorry Imbewitched, I didn't read all the posts! I'm glad someone else noticed seeing her again too! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 04:23 pm     LOL Ketchup! I'll pass you on to the next round! I'm glad to see others liked it as much as I did I think its great that they (obviously, lol) let just about ANYONE walk in off the street to have a chance. A good way to ferret out the talent that is ~out there~ that might have gone otherwise have gone unnoticed. My listings say its on at 9:00 tonight, I'll be watching........ |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 12, 2002 - 05:56 pm     Its on!!!!!!! |
