10. Yeah, he sure was purty
I'm watching, but not voting. There's really no one I feel strongly about now that Constantine and sweet Anwar are gone.

Phooey.

He's sure gotta purty mouth :) Watching but I don't vote, never have. Because the odds of me ever buying any of their music is slim to none so I don't really have an interest in who wins.

2. I never watch it
Edited on Tue May-03-05 07:09 PM by MrScorpio
So, in a way, it's boycotting by default

6. Me
I'm done for the season. I don't care who wins at this point because I honestly believe the fix is in. Why do they always have to ruin a good thing? :-(

13. Oh please, Constantine deserved to go
I liked the guy, but that last performance was just awful. I usually listen to the show with my TV off so I hear them SING instead of watching their performance, and I can honestly say that I've heard bad karaeoke singers in bars who did better than him.

Constantine has an awesome voice, but he picked the most ill-suited and inappropriate song on the planet. It didn't fit his voice, his singing style, and wasn't anywhere near the quality of the other performances.

Still, I was hoping the abusive redneck would get the boot. Maybe this week :)

16. So? One performance is a little lacking and he's gone?
Bo had two bad weeks a while ago, and he only went to the bottom 3 once. Scott is always bad. Constantine was fun, he was versatile. He applied himself to each theme and each song.

People are suppose to judge people on the whole, and not just performance by performance.

He was the best thing that show ever had.

17. :::High Five::: Rev !
I so agree! Isn't this about having "IT"....? Connie had "it" and he's gone, the rest of the season should be called "American Rip-Off"...groan...but I'm sure he'll have a bigger career than the leftovers tonight :)

19. Exactly!
He's going to be huge! His band, Pray for the Soul of Betty, got a distribution deal and their cd will hit stores nation wide on May 10th. He's going to have a cd out this fall I think, and he's been talking to casting agents in Hollywood, so he might do some acting! Since he is an actor, turned with Rent. :D

He's so much better then AI, but I just miss seeing him sing every week, and I hate the fact that it was so openly rigged.

They play Betty songs on here too, I think they're coming up soon too, if you want to hear his band. They're good rock and roll.

22. I don't think he gets any money from the one on 5/10
Because he had to give up his rights for it, at least according to what I read

24. Yeah, he did.
But I figure, if this cd does will then they'll put out another one.

Also it will show he's a popular commodity, and then people will be clamoring to get a piece of him. :D



And he does get money from the American Idol stuff, the cd they'll put out and the tour this summer.

14. I can only assume that you got attatched to one of these worthless people
who populate that awful show/American cultural trainwreck.

Please everyone go to http://www.griffinity.com/dave/

and vote for the worst.

Who is apparently the fat guy from the show

18. I saw that website......
Guess I can find comfort that the losers are the winners on this show! Probably why I usually don't watch Reality shows after their first season...OY!

25. Get a room!
Watch re-runs. Pretend.

Saw him on Ellen, he had a problem being on key.
Not good.

Now-Bo is more my Mr. Mojo rising man. But that show is for kids-I can't listen to Celine Dion or Whitney Houston songs. It lengthens my life.

26. Never watched it so I guess I am boycotting
Heck, I thought Paula Abdul's entertainment career was in the tank until late last summer.

27. He was in Rent? Why that can't be...
He was a genuine bad boy rocker type wasn't he? Guys like him are mad, bad, and dangerous to know. They don't do musical theater. They rock out and do things like kick at cameras and point at the audience in most rocking manners. Besides, he constantly referred to himself as a rocker so why wouldn't I believe him?




Sarcasm off.
