We'll see where they are in 10years. Back to the trailer park for these lowlives.

We are living in a time where it's cool to be ignorant and that's the only reason shows like this have any popularity. Do nothings being shown that YES they too can be discovered for just being alive and rewarded for doing nothing but breathing.

How long before we get a crotch shot from one of these professional singers?

99% of the 25 and under crew can be written off. Maybe a draft isn't such a bad idea after all. They can all sing along to Since you've Been Gone while marching too their doom.

I'd rather teach them the Marine Corps Hymn! hehe Yeah, definitely, institute some kind of mandatory military or civil service programs for the kids after high school, or we're all doomed - pick your own song.

Yes, I consider them to be very successful in the music world.

engfant

Then what would you consider Paul McCartney to be?

Tanzenite

Successful as well. There can be more then 1.

engfant

you use the term "successful" very loosely.

Tanzenite

Oh, my bad. What do you consider successful? (sorry I didn't check your dictionary first).

Success

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A level of social status

• achievement of an objective/goal
• the opposite of failure

I consider myself to be successful.

engfant

Sorry, the only appropriate answer was OF COURSE NOT THAT SUCCESSFUL BUT THEY ARE DOING OK COMPARED TO THE OTHER WINNERS OF AMERICAN IDOL SEEING THERE HAS BEEN 7 ALREADY AND ONLY 2 WINNERS SEEM TO COME TO MIND.

Tanzenite

I am not calling all American Idol winners successful. As I remember, I did only post the 2 successful ones.

And you didn't answer my question...what is your definition of "success"?

engfant

Let me get this straight. You defended a comment I made about American Idol promoting SUCK and you shot back with 2 examples of what you would consider successes in the industry. Then you go on to say that not all become successful.

SO, out of 7 winners of a billion dollar promotion 2 have become what you'd consider a success.

2 out of 7 is 29%. You consider that worth it? When you win that show you have to sign yourself away to American Idol. They own you.

You do all that work, bust your hump to make it to the top for a 29% chance of success and success as defined in this thread consists of staring in such monster hits as FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY, scored a whooping 9% on Rottentomatoes.com.

Some big time dealings going on right there.
