Well....that wasnt her best performance to say the least! But she certainly stepped up her game after this, so congrats on making it passed this round and not dissapointing us minus a few weeks.
Because it isn't a singing competition. It's also about how you look and present yourself. I can't stand the geeky ones who make it into the top 3 like little David Archuletta.
Bottom line. Of the million or so ppl in North America trying to 2 make it as a singer, good or bad girl, few will ever Bcome famous. Of the ones that break thru, the cleaner ones almost always make out better than the "other" ones. Head to head, Brits outsells Pink 9 or 10 to 1. Live concerts 4 Brit=Headliner. For Pink..opening act.The Mariahs, Britneys, Whitneys(B4 Bobby),Sade,Carrie Underwoods, etc will have no trouble being remembered as TOP Grammy stars who were clean and DIGNIFIED! Fa Sho!
LOL actually bottom line Madonna is the most successful female Artist of all time and wins head to head against the ones you listed. so discussion over :)
U don't have 2 go on Bcause U just made my point! Exceptions 2 the morals rule R few & far between. Joplin is considered a legend, but ended up killing herself wit dope early in life. 4 every example U give of a "bad girl" who made it BIG, there R DOZENS who went the skank route who were either 1 hit wonders or just never really made it hardly at all. FEW bad girls Bcome giants cause middle America doesn't easily embrace tarts. They prefer the Britney's(age 15-21)Mileys, Hill Duff, etc. As do I.
Theres even more good Girls who are just one hit wonders who never resurfaced after one hit. Good Girls have an even harder time making it and never seem to last...they usually plummet and fail...thats what happens to most teeny bopper Stars. Real Artists like Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, etc Their music lives on even after they die. Real Artists last...plastic teeny boppers always fade as their time ends
Funny. I don't feel sad or stupid wen issuing a ruling about a wayward Idol. I feel justified. Nikki is hardly the only Idol I've written about. I've opined about many diff Idols over the last few months. U just haven't read em. As 4 Madonna, she lived a wild life B4 she Bcame a star, and was MUCH kinkier and wilder after she Bcame a star. Despite her controversial background (semi-porno, drug use, kinky sex, mischief, she still made it..BIG. Big woop. She's the EXCEPTION, NOT the rule! DUMMY!!!
She lived a wild before and after she became star stupid ass. She's always refused Conventional wisdom and gone her own path. Her book "Sex" came out 8 years into her career as did her album "Erotica" and no she's not the only exception. In the 60's Janis Joplin was a wild girl and died of a heroin overdose because of it (and is now remembered as a Legend) Grace Slick refused conventional ways as well and is also considered a legened. Should I go on?
My comments aren't ridiculous..they are just accurate. I don't need to know Nikki 2 know the things she did because they were widely reported and NEVER disputed by Nikki herself. She DID cut class a lot in high school. She experimented with drugs. She drank. She had sex with multiple partners. She became pregs without benefit of marriage. She acted like white trash most of her life since high school. She has only herself to blame. BTW, a Nikki album wouldn't have sold well...period. Sorry.
lol wow they're ridiculous because they're all you talk about. Good grief get a life and get over it. Why spend time thinking about someone you don't like? its sad and stupid. You can't prove Nikki's album backed by a major label would be a failure. You can't end of story. However the reasons you claim it to fail (because she's not some prepackaged pop tart) aren't realistic. If those stopped people from having success then why is Madonna the most succesful female artists ever in terms of sales?
Wots more, as a fan of Idol AND a moral person, I have every right 2 judge ANYONE who goes on National TV and stumps for my vote.(text or phone in). Nikki put herself out there 2B judged by me and 35 Million others wen she decided to seek fame. Im within my rights. But U have "manners". Maybe. But if Idol practiced UR ULTRALIBERAL "manners", they'D B out of business instead of a BILLION $ BEHEMOTH. Good 4 them they practice MORALS! 2 Nikki, David Hernandez,Jess Sierra(Porn,Dope)et,al BYE LOSERS!
If Nikki had won, we would've had a winner who quite possibly would've put out an artistic album...not generic crap. Obviously we will never know...but since she refused to sell out that s probly what would've happened and the Idol Franchise would be more respected in the industry instead of being looked at as a Glorified Kareoke Competition
If Nikki had won,her album wouldn't have sold well, RCA would have been furious and FOX and 19/Entertainment would have basically been humiliated. As for me being "pathetic" for judging celebs..so is everyone who watches ET, Extra, TMZ, The Insider, or..oh yeah..American Idol!!!!Anyone wishing 2B famous puts themselves out there in front of America 2B dissected, critisized, followed, shouted at by the press and um..Judged!! By fans, the media, online sites etc. I'm within my rights 2 comment.
Prove that her album would've flopped! Thats right you cant. LOL at you for thinking that was a legitimate argument. There's a difference between enjoying some celeb gossip and going around posting ridiculous stuff about a person you don't even know. Its really sick and sad.
Idol THINKS about giving America a clean cut, decent, moral, mainstream star. Not a "wildchild". ANY business wants 2 make money, but Idol also has moral standards that must B met. Those who fall short of the standard R booted or "voted" off. GOOD! That is as it shud B. I bet U wouldnt talk smak if Nikki had won & Idol produced her album. THEN UD think it was "good music". So Kelly, Carrie, Fantasia, Clay, Taylor,Reuben and all their awards arent "good music?". U sound a bit like a sore loser.
If U hear perfect pitch U really need 2 get UR ears checked. As 2 how she's lived her life "who cares"? IDOL DOES! Why do U think theyve kicked off so many folk from the show over 7 yrs? THEY CARE. IT MATTERS. 19 Entertain/FOX dont want ppl of ill repute represnting their show. Morals matter 2 pplwho have them! U apparently dont. Pigs refer to ANY Idol who steals, strips, cons,Hos, frauds etc. Not just Nikki. Britnum Twins Corey Clark, Frenchie Davis(wot a whale)Jess Siera.etc. All SCUM.WAKE UP!
All I need is a piano to check my hearing and I still hear the pitches fine. :)
What do I care what Idol thinks? They're only about making money and less about art. Sorry I prefer good music from an Artist not manufactured crap. LOL I don't have morales because I don't Judge people? its called manners...something you lack. Your morales are also questionable....the way you pass judgement and your language. Its appalling.Go join the Manson family, freak.
I don't need 2B an Xpert in vocal techniques 2B able 2 recognize BAD singing wen I hear it.
Her probs go FAR beyond the occasional pitch problem. She simply isn't a good singer. Period. And if U see nothing wrong with how Nikki lived her life up until Idol, U have either no morals or no common sense. Idols R supposed 2 have lived clean lives. Not as pigs. Stripper/Druggie/Preg teen/HO. Maybe I'll check out an institution wen U go find UR awful former vocal teacher and sue her. U really need 2.
LOL Obviously not. You Could say you don't like her voice...which is a legitmate reason to not like her, however that does not mean she's a bad singer...and well she isn't. I hear perfect pitch. No I don't have a problem with how Nikki has lived her life. I mean who cares...if it bugs you so much you obviously are in need of a life! I find it gross you refer to her as "Pigs" it makes you sound like a pyscho from the Manson Family. Haha You probly are!
And UR deluded as to Nikki's true vocal ability and Moral center. I find UR unwavering devotion 2 Nikki 2B very suspicious. You find her tone 2B "Perfect". HA! UR either paid by her label 2B such a loyal "Fan" or more likely..you R a RELATIVE. If Nikki had won Idol it may have caved in the show. Nikki lived a fast,hard life and indulged herself MANY times in Disgusting,immoral,and illegal behaviors. Thats FACT! If U live as pigs do, you cannot bcum an AmerIdol. UB sure totell the Bitch i sed so
LOL I'm Deluded? You know nothing about Vocal Techniques! You've displayed nothing but ignorance. I actually know what I'm talking about and have admitted she had the occasional pitch problems....but all singers do. and no I'm just a fan, someone who enjoys her voice and encourages her aspirations as an Artist. I see nothing wrong with how Nikki lived her life and find it appalling that you care about what she's done so much. I suggest a mental institution, perhaps they can study you?
Tons of makeup and cute videos do not an Idol make. True Nikki spit many songs, but a lot more cum.Unrealalex got it rite. This Jerry Springer food stamp champ spent her teen yrs cutting class, doing DOPE,eating dicks and finally getting pregs by a guy who, immediately upon finding out, dumped her. Smart man. Wood not pay support. Good. Inbred STANK doesnt deserve support. So she then flops her tits and ass ina strip club fa dolla$.Bitch did mo' than just strip!Trust me..Burps after a blow job.
Being 14, I doubt you do. I've known Nikki since Hutcheson Jr. High. She can be really nice, but is fake through and through for the most part. She is a fantastic singer however, and I'm glad she keeps it up.
Trust me, she sings much more better then whoever press "dislikes" her...
