I was going to post who won on American Idol but then I thought about it and it won't aire until later in the west and I don't want to ruin it! And I cannot delete this post so I had to type something!
So did she? I am on the west coast...Originally Posted by Cyber Cat
well... it looks like Carrie won!
I wanted Bo to win.
We're ready...we'll be buying his CD's...he could very well outsell CArrie!Originally Posted by alikatt
I guess America wasn't ready for a man like Bo Bice.
Wait a minute..he came in SECOND! He beat out a TON of hip hoppers. Coming in second is damn good. Clay came in second and sold MORE records than Ruben who won the first one! I don't mean this means anything than that more teenie boppers vote all night! They let the voting go until 1am this time!Originally Posted by Arg0
Once again it proves my theory that the mainstream can't handle long hair rockers, male or female, in this day in ageAnd I can say that since I do work in the rock/metal scene professionally... He'll do great over in Europe, but not here stateside since its more of a hip-hop/R&B scene.
Yes but it shows Rockers can't come out on topOriginally Posted by Marge

Oh he did great, he got sick, life is just like that. He will do great. Carrie will be doing the national anthem at the indie 500 while seated with her obnoxious husband and manager Bill something, in a couple of years, seriously...mark my words.Originally Posted by Arg0
Yes but it shows Rockers can't come out on topYeah he'll probably still sell more records then carrie, however she could breakout in teh country format and be a runaway success. Hell Clay is the next Barry Manilow, if he realizes it at all.
Btw, Its also a known fact, atleast in the radio industry that the rock/active rock format is being dropped for either hip-hop and R&B OR Top 40 in this day in age. I just hope the Jack and Bob formats go over well, which here in Denver (The first Jack FM station in the US), it has for the most part.
BUT back to the subject...
Actually when Carrie goes under contract, I highly doubt that will happen in the next couple of years, she'll be shown around like a prized farm animal of somesort. And yes, I have seen records contract, they OWN you. The manager is just for looks, especially first year contracts.Originally Posted by Marge

I agree with you 100%. I've worked in the rock/metal scene since I was 15(now being 22) and you always had the people that supported the scene, but here, generally people are more into hip-hop and R&B. However, this still doesn't mean that I'm not bitter that he lost, and now wanting to boycott Americanl Idol is season 5 and beyondOriginally Posted by Arg0

You know, being a rocker, I was really upset last night that Bo didn't win. I mean, come on, it was like seeing the Prom Queen being crowned!!!! Carrie has to be about the most boring soul to watch perform on the planet...Originally Posted by valanhb
But you know, this might be the best thing for Bo. Kelley has done well, but Ruben is flopping, and Fantasia who? Clay has longevity and has been able to do more because he isn't tied to that god-awful Idol contract. Hopefully there are still some stations that will play him!
