Demeter | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 08:21 pm     I didn't see a listing for this anywhere, so I'm guessing "Tv Shows" fits. Did anyone watch the new Star Search tonight? I think they did an ok job. I liked how the judges gave honest and direct feedback with their votes. I also liked being able to vote online and how easy the process was. I missed Ed as the host and thought Arsenio was a little nervous, but he did ok. The young girl singer had an incredible voice. The judges were right that she needs to work on her stage presence, but I was still glad she won. I didn't think either one of the models was that great. I agreed with all the final choices except for model, but neither one of those were big on my list so it didn't matter much. |
Pamy | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 08:32 pm     So far this is slow moving and the singers would never make it pass Simon!!! |
Myjohnhenry | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 08:43 pm     We watched it, the show certainly isn't as good as the old version IMHO, and it really sucks being a westcoaster because only ET and CT get to vote. :P |
Kady | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 08:56 pm     It was preempted where I live. If I want to watch it comes on after the late,late,show. I guess I'll record it. It comes on again tomorrow. Is that a show to announce the winners from tonight? |
Myjohnhenry | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 09:00 pm     It is another new round. Then next Wednesday is yet another round and on Thursday the winners of the 3 shows compete against each other. At least I think that is what was said. |
Whoami | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 09:24 pm     I recorded it, but have'nt watched it yet. I loved the old show, but watched it for the dancers and comedians. Since there are no dancers this time, I don't know how I'll like it. I don't miss McMahon at all. After seeing him on the "Next Big Star" thing he did recently, with that little <self-censored> "thing" called a co-host hanging all over him, I don't care if I ever see him again. The image of dirty old man and <self-censored> is something I can't get out of my mind after trying to watch that show. I don't even know if the "talent" was any good, cause I was so nausiated watching McMahon and that girl, I had to turn the show off! |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:12 am     I am kind of sitting on the fence as the only performer that I enjoyed was the little girl - she reminded me of me at that age, and thank goodness that Charlotte Church has made opera and classical music "cool"!!! Wish she had been around when I was growing up - I might still have the soprano voice I used to have... I digress, sorry... I won't be watching tonight unless there isn't anything else on, and Arsenio was rather annoying... The two adult singers were both not really inspiring, and all modesty aside, I could sing better with laryngitis than they did last night... just my opinion of course... |
Hermione69 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:31 am     Even with my hearing loss, I could tell the little girl who sang "Ave Maria" had a lovely voice. I was awed. I flipped channels and went to Ed though when the comedy started. I doubt I even watch again. |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:41 am     I never watched the old Star Search so I have nothing to compare it with. I liked this show and thought the little girl's voice was amazing! I didn't find anything wrong with her stage presense, she seemed at ease, and she was singing Ava Maria, not a turn that lends itself to winks and jumping around. I hope she goes far, I can't watch and vote at the same time but wish I could. I thought the comedian that won was good too. He had a professional air about him and I bet he goes far. The models were boring as were the adult singers, jmo. I'll be watching tonight. |
Jeep | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:53 am     I thought it was pretty good and I'll like it as much as the "old" Star Search if they get some better talent in the adults. The models and the adult singers didn't impress me in the least. Of course, I always loved the kids. The little boy that did the rap was really pretty good but the girl just blew him away with her voice. I could listen to her sing all day. It was very lovely. I thought Arsenio was the best comedian. And with it being done live, you never know what might happen. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:17 am     Neither of the adult singers were very good at all and wouldn't have made it past round one on American Idol. I found the show rather boring and probably won't tune in regularly. When the judges were giving their star rating I was having flashbacks to the gong show. |
Crazydog | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 11:27 am     Not watching it. It's obvious that the producers feel like American Idol ripped them off and their wallets are jealously speaking. I don't think anything is going to recapture the sensation of American Idol. I saw a commercial for this and Arsenio's hair looked ridiculous. They're trying for the same formula as AI, which re-launched the (ir)relevancy of Paula Abdul. Take one washed up B list star and hope people tune in. And come to think of it, Arsenio was in one of Paula's videos (The Way that you Love Me?) and was rumored at the time to have been dating her. |
Tess | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 12:20 pm     The little girl who sang, Meaghan, lives nearby here in the Twin Cities. I've seen her on local television singing Ave Maria before this but had no clue she was going to be on last night. She was just as amazing last night in front of millions as she was with a small audience. From what I've seen of her here she also seems to be a little sweetheart. I hope, whatever happens on Star Search, that she does continue her singing along with her education. The adult performers didn't move me much. I was voting for the one I disliked the least. <sigh> |
Grooch | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 01:09 pm     Which model won? |
Monkeyboy | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 01:32 pm     i used to go to high school with that one model (Melanie the one who lost)...boy did she become VERY pretty if i say so myself... |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 02:20 pm     I thought I heard Arsenio say that the floating judge tonight would be Jack Ozbourne, anyone else hear that? |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 03:16 pm     Mods, could you move this to the reality shows section? I keep losing it. |
Demeter | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:10 pm     What a voice that 10 year old had tonight! Such energy and feeling and the audience gave her a standing ovation! |
Demeter | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Ok, the models were so-so, but both were better than those last night. (I never have enjoyed the model category) The first comic needs tons of work, the second comic was decent. (The time limit is a bit too short) The female adult singer was good and did have a strong stage presence. I didn't care for the fellow that much, his voice was ok, but I thought his attempt to be "sexy" missed the mark (although the judges didn't seem to think so). Overall, tonights show was better than last night's, they seem to be warming up a bit. |
Poser | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 05:41 pm     The female adult singer picked a bad song. If she doesn't do Midnight Train to Georgia or Proud Mary in the semi-finals, she's a fool. She's got Gladys Knight's voice and Tina Turner's thighs. |
Donut | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:01 pm     tonite was good. i was actually amazed at Arsenio.. I usually just find him an annoying dolt, but he showed tremendous humanity and perception tonite. When the 14 year old girl started to cry (probably because of that witch Naomi). he noticed it right away, even before i did, and put his arm around her, and then put his arm around both girls, i think to take the attention off of the one girl, and put his his back to the audience so that their faces were hidden from view... Maybe i am giving him too much credit and it was just accidental, but i thought he really was sensitive and quick thinking.. anyways, the 10 year old was amazing and will steal the whole series. I felt bad for the losing comic who tried so hard, and i think they have gotten surprisingly mediocre adult singers.. The woman tonite had a great voice but used it wrong, and the guy had a nice voice but was completely out of tune..and that jacket off the shoulder thingie was just ugly.... btw, i thought the star of the show was Jack Osbourne! he hasnt been so cute, smart and warm and well spoken since he was 10. I hope he continues to subdue his evil self! i cant believe i am actually watching star search especially since it was the first nite in years i was gonna watch Friends, but two minutes of rachel and phoebe's whining was more than enuf.... |
Webkitty | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 07:28 pm     Donut, I thought Jack Osbourne did great tonight! The little 10 year old girl who sang tonight was great, but I still think the other little girl from last night who sang Ava Maria will come out on top. So far, none of the adult singers have impressed me that much. They should just cut the model segment. |
Pamy | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 08:36 pm     I think the comic, Jeff Garcia will go on to be a star, he was funny. I also thought Jack was so sweet and did a good job of judging the people. Sharon will be so <14> proud(oops wrong thread!) |
Kady | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 09:30 pm     I'm not enjoying this show at all. The adult singers seem to have no talent. I liked both little girls...the one from tonight and last night. It will be a short run...only till Survivor comes back so I will watch. I will probably do like I did tonight. I was watching my tape of TW from A&E last night and every now and then stop it and check out Star Search. |
Northstar | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 09:38 pm     LOL Pamy I missed last night, but caught tonight. Yeah, I'll catch it again but won't plan my day around it. Naomi, Naomi, Naomi...Simon would be so proud. |
