If John Stevens wins..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I found this article.

Quote:

Some music industry insiders are quietly debating the future of the runaway hit show "American Idol" if lounge-style singer John Stevens wins the current competition. According to USA Today, he doesn't have "the pipes or the personality of the others," but he's so popular with the voting audience that he actually has a chance of winning--even though he's the three judges' least favorite contender. And that has a number of music critics forecasting the cancellation of the show.

Stevens is a marginal talent at best, writes USA Today reporter Edna Gundersen. But the voters love him! Middle-aged women in the heartland want to take him home and feed him. Young teen girls are falling in love. George Varga, pop critic for the San Diego Union-Tribune and Copley News Service, told USA Today that a win by the 16-year-old Stevens "should provide the best chance yet for "American Idol's much-deserved cancellation. If not, I'd suggest a joint tour with William Hung and have Janet Jackson's right nipple as the opening act, although the nipple is probably the superior singer." Ouch.

Laugh all you want but the first two runs of "American Idol" produced big-selling CDs from Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, and Clay Aiken. But music consultant Dennis O'Donnell told USA Today all that would end if Stevens actually wins this time. "With this kid, what can you do?" he says. "He's not an engaging personality...You have no one-hit-wonder capability in this equation." For good measure, O'Donnell added this: "I don't believe there's a record in John Stevens. And I don't think anyone who's voted for him could sit and listen to 12 cuts of John Stevens."

Good luck! I would NEVER try out for American Idol! Wanna know why? I'll tell you why. Because I am such a bad singer, over a billion people would probably make fun of me out on the streets, and gossip about me.
Trust me, you never wanna hear me sing.

But if you try out for AI5, I wish you luck!

I wouldn't audition for AI, either. I'm probably a mediocre singer at best. I wouldn't audition right now anyway because of school. Even if I ever auditioned, which would be highly unlikely, it would be in four years or more, since I would finish college first. But I doubt the drive, the several day wait, and other stuff would be worth it. I'd have to go through three sets of producers. Not worth it for me. Now if only 70,000 other people would see it my way before auditioning for AI...
