    Re: *** American Idol: Season 9 ***

    Crystal has more potential than Lee. I would've preferred to see her win.

    Weak season of talent, but I did enjoy seeing the parade of stars in the finale. The tribute to Simon by Paula and the past Idols was nice.

    I'll start watching next season out of habit and curiousity.

      Well, I know one thing..Crystal needs to get those teeth fixed, terribly distracting watching her sing with those holes in her mouth.

          Everytime I see Crystal Bowersox she reminds me of a hippie version of Julia Stiles.

            I've never been fond of this show and this year only cemented my hate for it. Fans of this show have NO CLUE. The one year they got it right was when Carrie Underwood won. Sure Crystal will get a contract anyways, but it's ridiculous that Lee won, ridiculous that Casey James made it anywhere near the finals, ect ect. I will never waste my time with the show again. America's got Talent is a better show in my opinion.

              Umm... She has diabetes. Bad teeth/gums is a common side affect/ailment of diabetes. I don't know much about the disease outside of that, but I assume that fixing her teeth wouldn't do much good unless they can cure diabetes.


              As for the rest, I thought Crystal was better than Lee. Very weak season though. Probably the last season my wife and I watch with Simon leaving. He was the best part of the show.

              How about the guy grabbing the microphone during Dane Cook's performance and rambling on about how he's going to be the next judge because he's better than Simon? They cut the mic and cut to commercial after two people failed to get the mic off that guy.

                Plenty of people have diabetes and don't walk around with gaps in their mouth and filthy teeth.

                  I'm guessing she thought it would affect her singing or was too big a procdure to undertake during the show. Hopefully she takes care of the teeth now that Idol is over.
                  Her hair looks awful too. And she could stand to drop a few pounds.

                    Maybe that was it...well I guess we'll see. And yeah, not only does her hair look awful and she's overweight but she dresses terribly too.

                      Umm...is it a singing contest or a fashion show?

                      That's why the show continues to get worse year after year as the initial concept get's boob jobs and teeth whitening

                        deaduck - no one is saying it's a fashion show, personally I don't want anyone choosing looks over talent (read back through the thread and you'll see my posts indicating as such) but there's also nothing wrong with asking that those with talent, such as Crystal, try to present themselves in public looking nice.

                        Showing up each week with dirty dreadlocks, filthy and missing teeth, overweight and dressing terribly just shows the audience a lack of respect.

                          Point being, it's a side affect of the disease and not necessarily something that she could avoid. I'm pretty sure she didn't just stop brushing and let them fall out. When she went back home, it certainly looks like her and her family are hurting for cash. Getting a procedure such as that done, isn't going to come cheap... My mother-in-law has MS and it's affected her teeth. She had them fixed, but it cost her nearly 30K. My guess is Crystal and her family didn't have the cash to do that.

                          Don't get me wrong...I don't think her teeth or hair looked good. I also thought she could afford to lose about 20+lbs. However, I wouldn't go around tossing insults...especially from someone who has posted that they aren't perfect physically (none of us are).

                            I understand all of that and I had teeth issues myself at one point. I can guarantee you though if I was in her shoes i'd have taken up anyone that could have offered to help for free. Perhaps she has an intense fear of the dentist.

                            And I toss insults at everyone, especially myself. Myself most of all. If you go into the weight loss thread you will see I hate the way I look. Usually people that have issues themselves are more aware of it. Honestly I'm probably more critical of Crystal because I think she could be a nice looking girl if she took some pride in her appearance, washed and combed her hair, paid her teeth some attention, lost a little weight, etc..

                            People like her make me more incensed than anyone because as a person who does not have good looks I feel they are squandering theirs by choosing to not care about how they look at all. That really bothers me I won't lie. It wouldn't keep me from buying her music but I do feel a need to point it out because I'm honest about what I think.

                              Didn't want to start a whole new topic just to ask this question.

                              So Simon is starting an American version of the X Factor. What is the difference between that and America's Got Talent (never seen it before)?

                                From what I understand the X-factor has the judges actually mentoring the contestants whereas America's got talent just has people coming out and performing. That's the only difference I know of.
