I actually watched an episode of American Idol the other day for the first time since season 1. (I only watched one episode then too.) It was TERRIBLE! Half the singers were overweight, most of them didn't sing very well, terrible song selections, some teenage kid singing like a girl. GAK! Horrid! It's not wonder the ratings for the show have dropped so much this season. Their finalists aren't very good.

The Finnish version looks a bit more interesting but then I am a rocker and could care less about the pop-slop American Idol serves up.

is that a girl or boy?

i'm not a big power metal fan, but it sure beats Kelly Clarkson.

i do wonder though, how many other Nightwish sounding bands were competing at this "Finnish Idol"?

if Norway had an "Idol", perhaps some Darkthrone sounding band would win? that would be funny.

Not bad! The German version of this TV episode is not terrible. But this one is ok!

I've watched a few of those performnances on Youtube. I thought the Deep Purple tune was awesome!

"Fullmoon" is one of the best power metal songs ever written. Top 10, easy! The song is so unbelievably awesome!

My bro-in-law is addicted to that terrible piece of garbage!
I tried to watch an episode and couldn't!

Norway has had "Idol"-shows for four or five seasons now (I have lost count), and a metal finalist is yet to come. That's why kmorg wants to move to Finland!:idea:

You nailed it! Although, I have to admit, I am a fan of Kurt Nilsen (the man who won the first season in the Norwegian Idol. He also went on to win World Idol, where he beat Kelly Clarkson, amongst others!)
