Am I the only one who is UNASHAMEDLY loving it?

After watching Hollywood week and after, I'm wondering 1. How deeply and truly demented those poor talentless fools were in the first round. 2. How comes X-Factor isn't as challenging? Chico and The McDonald Brothers (and a lot more) would never have made it so far if they were in America.

Thank God for DVRs! I've never been able to keep up with anything because I never remember the next time they are on. I will set it to record Greys.

I've watched several seasons and loved them, but the pointless Cat Deeley inserts are driving me mad. I don't need some Vacuous English woman to interpret American idol for me. I watch in part because it's American. Whoever is responsible for her humourless scripted bits should re-think and I really hope wer're not missing Seacrest to make way for her.

I don't get the point of Cat Deeley either. She's just damn annoying and most times we just fast forward the recording through her bit.

Who watched this weekend? Lakisha blew the others away. The men on the whole were shocking apart from the human beatbox.
I still can't stand Cat Deeley intruding on my programme. Programme producers from ITV, if you're mnetters and reading, get rid of Cat, she's a waste of your money.

NadineBaggott · 25/02/2007 23:20

I'd buy Lakisha's album today!

puffling · 25/02/2007 23:41

Are you the actual Nadine Baggott of non celebrity priced pentapeptide fame, or just an imposter?

NadineBaggott · 25/02/2007 23:43

An imposter? moi?

I made a hash of the results show this week. I'd recorded and whizzed through and thought only one boy and girl had gone but just visited the Idol website to find 2 of each went!

anniebear · 26/02/2007 15:02

I have seen bits and thought Cat Dely was awful

I used to like her over here, but on American Idol, she doesn't come across well

chacha3 · 26/02/2007 15:04

absolutely love american idol well come to think of it i love all reality programmes! my bf thinks im sad of course< but do i care! ......................................

MummyPenguin · 26/02/2007 22:18

Is Lakisha the mixed race girl with the curly hair? Haven't been following it to the letter, but watched this weekend (didn't see the guys) but thought this girl was really good. I agreed what they said about the dog walker girl, she was all over the place.

Agree about Cat Deeley.

NadineBaggott · 26/02/2007 22:20

here she is

MamaApronstrings · 26/02/2007 22:22

I think this season of idol is prettty dull so far

NadineBaggott · 26/02/2007 22:31

really?

Marscentio · 26/02/2007 22:35

Jennifer Hudson watch out indeed! This girl is amazing!!!!!!! As soon as she started to sing I got goosebumps!

I think Simon has found his American Leona! She is a class above the others. The boys were cr*p!

Now let's turn our attention to The Amazing Race

MummyPenguin · 26/02/2007 22:37

It's not the girl I thought it was.

franke · 26/02/2007 22:38

Er, I thought Melinda was as good as Lakisha.

Can't bear the way Cat Deeley has become this vacuous, blonde Americanised presenter. Awful.

I agree Mars. I recorded the prog and watched a few times and each time I got the goosebumps.

She just comes to life when she starts singing.

here she is again
