Canadian Idol Fans Watching American Idol

[SleepinIn]

By the way, it's his part that was cut the most in the original Outsiders, and gets restored in the new cut.

Okay now, that totally makes me want to watch it. lol Rob had a quite prominent spot on my wall at one time.

Do you think someone will #signmattgiraud?

Who knows? I like Matt. I tweeted that.. but.. big ole question mark. I almost would rather have him go the host route. He's got a great personality for Tv stuff, and then move back into music from there. If I was his manager that's what I would suggest to him.

I'm really lame. I've read the book and saw the movie, but I barely remember any of it. It was in an English class in high school ten years ago though, so maybe I just put all of it in the corner of the brain reserved for useless stuff we learn in school that we tend to forget after the exam is over. I should probably see it again...

Ugh if I had had to read it in school - chances are I would have hated it. I hated everything they made us read on principal. There is a lot of classic literature that I should go back and re-read. The best part of the book though is that it adds like a big chunk to the story. They started that movie half way through the book.

The Outsiders was sort of porn for pre-teen girls, if you think about it.

Ha, it was. And it was good.

Cha - Ching is really growing on me. On the radio it's not so annoying, and the sound doesn't sound so anti-hedley (if that makes sense) One of the Much Music VJ's is apparently in the video.. dressed in drag.

First of all, I can be as enthused as the next one, but the show was not that awesome. Even for me, a huge fan of the past season. It really was not. It was very good, and a lot of fun to see the kids in person. But I've been to better concerts. I went mainly for Kris and he was awesome. It was worth it. I swear to you guys,

I take all the it was the most awesome moment of my life, my dreams at last have come true, Adam is the only true rock god left in the world comments with a giant grain of salt.

Until he does this to a crowd.. he's got to wait - at least until he releases his CD.
(and this is the much picked upon Nickelback - there are other musicians out there too.. imagine that? LOL )
YouTube - Nickelback - BURN IT TO THE GROUND Music Video

You'd think the media would have a more objective approach to things, but they mostly don't.

I hate the bad media reviews the most too. Especially those that go into the show with preconceived ideas, or use the scream-ometer as the indicator of success. When all is said and done the media are still people and usually if they are at an Idol concert they watched the show and had an opinion or were paid to have an opinion. Plus, there's always the did the right person win angle - which happens every year I guess.

By the way, I hate it in the video above when the girl says something like, of course, we're Christians, too, so it's okay. Like...huh?

I think she was refering to Kris's tweet that he was a Desai'ple (they were Anoop fans) and they first mentioned being Desai'ples and then said that they were Kristians too (can I say how much I HATE fan group names - like seriously HATE.. blech )

 

[missaddicted]

Some Kris fans call themselves the Kristians? Ew. Seriously: worst fanbase name ever. You don't bring religion into a fanbase name, it's just wrong.

But, yeah, fanbase names suck in general, I hate them too.

Well, I think Anoop started it. lol. But yeah.. ugh.

 

[missaddicted]

Really? OK, that's weird. Still, I hope it doesn't become popular among the fans at all.

 

[SleepinIn]

Me either.. and this is why I like you so much. You are full of good sense.

 

[missaddicted]

Of course I am! LOL. And so are you! What about ross? It's harder to say, no?

Hey I just saw that there was this icon: :quebec:. I had to post it!

 

[ross 1]

Of course I am! LOL. And so are you! What about ross? It's harder to say, no?

LOL!!!

I think. :-?

I work on Thursday nights so here I am finally joining your oh so sensible discussion. :lol:

Ugh if I had had to read it in school - chances are I would have hated it. I hated everything they made us read on principal.

Ha, I was exactly the same way! I read The Outsiders on vacation one summer. By the way, the TV series didn't make it for me

Here's some of the old gang.

YouTube - The Outsiders (The Complete Novel)

The best part of the book though is that it adds like a big chunk to the story. They started that movie half way through the book.

Now it starts with Pony leaving the movies, and he and Johnny getting jumped by the Socs. The new version is called The Outsiders: The Complete Novel. But like I said, I don't like what they did with the music in the new one.

I think she was refering to Kris's tweet that he was a Desai'ple (they were Anoop fans) and they first mentioned being Desai'ples and then said that they were Kristians too (can I say how much I HATE fan group names - like seriously HATE.. blech)

Do you hate fan group names, SleepinIn? Just checking. ;-) Hey that was dumb of me not to get the Desai'ple/Kristian reference. Dumb, or sleepy.

Slezak!!! And his sexy list. That was great!

Did you guys happen to read the recap on mj's by "David," who made the gross error of writing:

I don’t think he is Sexy and I don’t think he is a Rock God…He is too much of a girl for me and I can’t take him seriously.. He puts on a great show not denying that and I did love WLL but he is just not not for me.

This did not go over too well. The recapper preferred Kris and even indicated Kris was sexier. Everyone (including me) assumed David was a man, but it turns out that's her husband's name and she used his email address. But, boy, did it inspire a lot of posts about how Kris is preferred by gay men. (A favorite topic, chez mj.) Because no woman could prefer Kris to Adam. (Well, maybe Katy, and Kris's mother.) Anyhow, read the comments for big yuks.

(Oops, ignored your advice, missaddicted. But I always read the recaps because some are very Kris-friendly.)

Kris making Slezak's list reminded me. Slezak is hilarious.

What was the Idolatry show where Kristen asked him, "Are you a self-hating gay?"
What was she referring to? That was hilarious.

By the way, I, ross, had the good sense to start this thread and invite you two amazing people to join me. HA.

 

[missaddicted]

LOL, I posted at the same time as you and this time, what I wrote before really doesn't make sense. You're still here!

 

[SleepinIn]

Of course I am! LOL. And so are you! What about ross? It's harder to say, no?

Yeah, I don't know about Ross... LOL - I kid, I kid. :love5: you both.

:quebec: Hee. I love it.

 

[missaddicted]

By the way, I, ross, had the good sense to start this thread and invite you two amazing people to join me. :razz: HA.

Yes you did! And I love that we're still here, posting day after day. It's always a pleasure!

That David girl has a lot of balls! Heh. She must have been called a homophobic quite a few times I would guess.

Oops, ignored your advice, missaddicted

How could you?!? At least, SleepinIn knows that I am full of good sense...

 

[ross 1]

:quebec: I had to click on this to find out it was the Quebec flag.

That David girl has a lot of balls!

You're on a roll, today! That was hilarious.

Heh. She must have been called a homophobic quite a few times I would guess.

No, there weren't a lot of homophobic accusations because "he" said he hoped Kris would have unbuttoned some more buttons on his shirt! So this admission that he found Kris sexy confused the issue. There were a lot of the comments like "Adam embodies the feminine and the masculine perfectly in one body" and "Adam is more masculine and more of a man than most stright men I know" types of (hilarious) comments. (Hilarious because of the lack of humor.)

I personally thought the recapper had a great point about Lil.

 

[SleepinIn]

Thanks for the Outsiders clip - I'm going to have to watch that movie again for sure.

This is really cute, and just shows how silly all the crazy fans are with the fanwars - these are people who like each other. Too funny - Forgetting lyrics, unwashed shirts.

"Adam embodies the feminine and the masculine perfectly in one body"

Wow! Nothing less, eh?

Thanks for the video, SleepinIn, they're so cute together.

Adam wears shorts? I didn't think he would be a "shorts-wearing" kind of guy. Sorry, this is so random, but it's exactly what I thought while watching the video!

 

[SleepinIn]

what I wrote before really doesn't make sense.

What?!? You're no longer making sense???

(sorry couldn't resist) LOL

 

[SleepinIn]

Adam wears shorts? I didn't think he would be a "shorts-wearing" kind of guy. Sorry, this is so random, but it's exactly what I thought while watching the video!

See now if you had the twitter you would have seen various Adam is wearing shorts photos. That is the beauty of twitter.. one is always informed on the important events in life

 

[missaddicted]

What?!? You're no longer making sense???

Sorry to break your illusions. No, I actually don't make sense most of the time!

I know that post is weird. I edited it, because I was pleading ross not to leave because of my joke... while he was posting.

 

[ross 1]

Actually the quote was:

"Adam is not a girl. Blessedly, he has the ability to embody the masculine and the feminine in one body. This is gutsy and difficult in a culture that is so concerned about gender."

All right, stop making sense, both of you.

Yes, Adam wears shorts. The question is, should Adam wear shorts?

So, guys, that little top Kradison video reminds me of a not so burning question I always wonder about: why did TPTB not offer Danny a contract? After all, he was pimped all season. Did they figure that if he couldn't make Top 2 after all that pimping, he just wasn't popular enough to sell records?

I haven't joined, but I'm now quite guilty of going on twitter every day to follow Kris, David Cook and his bandmates. Well, mostly his bandmates. @andyskib posts the most random pictures of the band/tour buses/various locations on the road and videos (including this one:TwitVid - @andyskib we're hungry, if that's not random, then I don't know what is), while @nealfingtiemann posts about booze and the devil. I'm definitely entertained.

"Adam is not a girl. Blessedly, he has the ability to embody the masculine and the feminine in one body. This is gutsy and difficult in a culture that is so concerned about gender."

Even better! Writing that was gutsy I say.

Kris has almost 91,000 followers. Think he'll ever catch up to Lambert and Gokey?
Skateboard champ Ryan Sheckler has about 850,000 followers. Holy crap.

 

[missaddicted]

Danny has more followers than Kris? That's wrong...

Hey, Kris is following Slezak now!
