Teensy AI post...

And being a farm girl, I still think Artificial Insemination every time I see American Idol abbreviated that way. :/



I don't want to be all whiny and bitter, since both the boys seem happy, but I'm done with American Idol. The last one I picked was Carrie Underwood, so apparently I'm no judge of talent and doomed to be disappointed and betrayed by America every single year. LOL.

But honestly, if the only way for someone to win that show is for each voter to vote 3 to five thousand times on finale night, that's not a talent competition anymore.

Unless they're willing to buy three to five thousand copies of the album, the votes mean nothing.

That's just my opinion. And I've heard the argument that there's no way to fix the voting system, but I also don't have to watch the fail keep failing.

/emo Tracy.

Aww, c'mon guys. I've been watching the show since the very first episode, back when I was actually an age where I could've tried out if I wanted to. It's the end of an era for me. I'm allowed a day or two of sad, methinks. Do not be rolling your wee eyes at me, or there will be no porns for you.

Oh, and I might have signed up for [livejournal.com profile] spn_meanttobe. Like I needed another prompt challenge considering I never even started my Disney one and still haven't finished the Overboard one. LOL. But when I see a prompt I like, I get grabby. Sue me.


58. A Soldier Caged

He'd lost blood and comrades on the world's battlefields, but neither compared to losing his memory. Waking up in a secret military bunker, drugged, with vague images of a mission gone bad, Jonah had nowhere to turn. Until help came in the form of the one woman he'd always remember....

Psychologist Sophia Rhodes never got over the bad boy who'd stolen her good-girl heart a decade ago. But without military training, how could she possibly steal Jonah from a high-security facility? She had only one hope--that he'd never forgotten her, either. Sophia knew the breakout was the easy part. Somehow she had to help Jonah focus his hazy images--before a desperate man made sure he'd never remember....

lol, I see AI and I think Artificial Intelligence.

Yay for [livejournal.com profile] spn_meanttobe! I'm very excited! And your prompt sounds great.

LOL I can't help rolling my eyes but only in a VERY LOVING way. You are utterly entitled to your emo. I quit watching AI early this season, something random and now forgotten pissed me off and I gave up on it!

AI = artificial intelligence to me. But perhaps that's 'cause I'm reading cyberpunk fiction at the moment. Oh, hush, I need something to rest my brain right now and cyberpunk is it.

ETA: whenever I see someone is listening to Regina Spektor is makes me SO STUPIDLY HAPPY. I love her so much and also, coincidentally, I've been wearing my Regina concert t-shirt today!

See in my opinion, AI was never a talent competition, it's a popularity contest.

That will happen every time you allow the "audience" to vote.

I've never been a fan of the show...but I do end up enjoying some of the singers who come from it like Daughtry or Kelly Clarkson....and this season, what little I've seen...I think I'll enjoy Kris Allen's stuff...I like his voice and I'm interested in seeing what Adam can do without the restraints of the AI contract...much like Daughtry.

I haven't liked American Idol since it started. Besides the fact that my shows are always pre-empted because "OMG! we have to vote nao!" but also because it's a crap way to pick talent.

Oh, I hate you. :-p Because seeing your post, I realized it is the new harlequin challenge and I immediately hopped on over to claim a prompt too, even though I have no tiiiiiiime.

I feel you on the Idol thing, not watching it because I don't like casting shows much but - to prove myself a liar - I'm at this moment watching the Finale of Germany's Next Top Model and I have no hope that my favourite will win.

I might have signed up too. This prompt sounds exciting! Who's your psychologist? Hmmm?

Well, at least Adam won't have to sing that lamer than lame song.

And the first time I saw AI my thoughts when to that Will Smith movie :))

This is the only season I've ever watched all the way through, and it was because of the amazing Adam Lambert. I won't be back either.
