Sorry, I just felt like making a thread about this, but the Popstars-like programmes are really annoying the CRAP outta me. Am I the only one SO TOTALLY BOTHERED by these crap shows?! Damn... Popstars The Rivals Season 1(oh no, there will be more ) has just started here, and already I feel like tearing my hair out. Why, I ask you. WHY?! Oh, and you should hear the name the boyband gave themselves: Men2b. I mean...WHAT?! All contestants of lame-ass programmes like that deserve to be painfully humiliated on public display. GOD.

Anyone else who shares my loathing?

I share your loathing. The only reason people watch shit on Pop Stars is because they want to be them. Which will never happen and it really lowers peoples self esteem because they'll never be "as pretty as jessica" or "as rick as p.diddy". which is stupid because in my mind I think a million people are prettier than Jessica Simpson and ya know what, it sucks to be rich, You ever notice that rich people have more problems.

Like that song, Mo Money Mo Problems. Haha.

Anyway, I agree with you Craighead, you're mad chill.

I wouldn't say that.

Hopefully, these programmes will die out soon enough. The bands rarely do well, so there's no point in the producers spending the money. They should go the same way as the majority of reality tv shows if we're lucky.

Yes, Comradestripe, you're right. I can't remember any band out of one of those programmes that did really well. Girls Aloud came closest and that's saying something.

1969inmybed, please call me Fee. (God, what an ugly smiley) I just can't get used to being called by my nickname. (sure, and there's Bush again)

Well, Will Young's not doing too badly, and people seem to like Lemar, but apart from them, you're right. Hopefully it'll be a five year flash in the pan.

wait a minute...you want me to call you Fee? What's your real name bcuz mine is Felicia and people call me Fee all the time!! This is so weird...

Gosh! Imagine someone in the world having a similar name to yours!

Unbelievable!

I just like watching the first few episodes where people get rejected.

Those are fun.

But I guess they pronounce it different. My name's pronounced as "Faye".



Hahaha, I just LOVE your dry comments. :'D

Somebody's looking to pick a fight.

That just sounded like you wanted to pick a fight with yourself

It's because she's special.



That really is fun.

Wow, by the looks of it it seems the Schizophrenic Movement's back on track.

An example down here the second Australian Idol is that she only sold 30,000 CD's but since there were 250,000 distributed they counted that as being sold, so therefore she is now on top of the 'aria' charts as having the most sold album...

haha

yeah and i hate them shows btw i cant believe steve won the xfactor! out of them 3 tabby was the best, mostly cause i liked his hair and felt sorry cause he'd to leave his child

Really? How gay.

wtf? theres nothing gay bout tabby

I was replying to The Big M's post, but you got there first.

edit: Also, there is something gay about Tabby - his name.

oh right. his teeth kinda scare me but the hair totally makes up for it, sorry if im pissing anyone off but i really love that hair!

I don't trust a man named Tabby.

haha to balance the scales he was a bit of a poser but he was cool

my favourite is clay aiken...
RAWR

Oh yeah. Orgasmic.

he's coming out with a christmas cd..according to my msn popup thing. well i know i won't be buying it

He just had his own Christmas special as well.

was it deliciously wonderful?

No. From what I saw on the TVGuide channel.

just the names of the bands coming out of these shows

PreLuders (at least good voices, and the coversongs are ok)
Bro'Sis (which became ok-r'n'b now)
No Angels (split up! yay!)
Become1
Overground (whaaaa.... these slimdrops singing 'schick mir nen engel'-send me an angel- is just unbearable)

If anyone saw 2 To Go on The X Factor, I think they were quite possibly the most amusing musical concept ever. "Let's stick a blind man and a pretty girl together..."

hahaha i only go into it near the end and only watched tabby's hair

whos this? cosima?? if its her... i swear i willl...

i really dont like her.

I do. All those Idol programmes are terrible!

Naw, man. I want to be just like Boris! (Our Dutch Idols-winner) He's sooo good, especially now he changed his name from Boris to Bo-Rush. Rawk 'n roll. Oh, and I'm soo proud of the fact that I live in 'his' city.

I'm actually addicted to Australian Idol. I probably shouldn't have admitted to that .

Not too worry. Over here everyone was hooked on the first Idols. And then came the second...and now the third...I haev considered going to those auditions, for a laugh. But everyone voted against it.

It's Idol 3 here too . I still can't help but watch . And it's a good thing you didn't go, can you sing? If you can't, it would really suck if they picked you to go through and go on TV making as ass of yourself - even if it was a joke, the people watching the TV wouldn't know that .

oh there've been many dead topics retrieved recently with the old members... I miss koopa and eat_grapes and...

back to the thread

the idolatrous shows are so funny. I'm often some kind of troublemaker in those shows here

but television programmes about Popstars are boring

Yeah, I can sing. Not to blow my own horn or something, but it's true. Sad, but true.

What would you have done if you'd got in?

Haha, I wanted to do an audition too. It would've been fun. But there might've been a chance they'd let me go trough and I wouldn't want THAT.

Well, here in Holland there's a guy who went to the finales, but you'd have to sign a contract which says you can't write your own songs. He didn't want that, so he backed out. I'd have done the same. I mean, instant famous-ity, or something. Hehe.

I wouldn't have but that's just because I can't write.

Heh, me neither, but I'd rather write my own songs than having to sing their shite.

Nowadays, in France it's Star academy 5 ! I hate this programme !
the worst thing about it is that I often watch it !
It's stupid ...I know ...

Correction: Deserve to be painfully burned to death on public display

But yeah, I share your hatred.

i hate idol, because it doesnt matter who wins, all the finalists have songs put out. none of them do well and its just gay. the first australian idol launched the "careers" of: guy sebsatian, shannon noll, rob mills, cosima, paulini uhhh i cant remeber anymore but they all lasted about 5 minutes and it was just terribile.

That's not real music..that's not real musicien....they don't work hard for being a musician....
