This is American Idol - the hit FOX musical reality series following three judges, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson (II), Paula Abdul,and as of season 8,Kara DioGuardi, along with host Ryan Seacrest around the United States in search of the next American Idol, a pop star that truly shines above all the rest. With help from the viewers, they will decide from thousands of participants who will walk away with a record deal and the fame and fortune that is sure to come along with it.
American Idol was started as a spinoff of Pop Idol, a U.K. series with the same general format and also featuring Simon Cowell as a judge. It has since emerged as hit series in its own right, propelling FOX to the top of television rankings, inspiring various merchandise, and launching the careers of many hit-stars. This show also lead to a short-lived spinoff with younger singers called American Juniors.
The series is currently in its eighth season, featuring what the judges are describing as the best crop of new talent yet. Changes have been made to the season, with contestants allowed to play instruments during the program's famous "Hollywood Week" and a renewed focus on talent, rather than guest celebrities.
American Idol can generally be caught Tuesday and Wednesday nights on FOX. However, watch listings, as airings are often extended from their original broadcast times, to as much as two hours in length. You can also catch American Idol: Rewind in syndication, a program narrated by Clay Aiken, featuring the best of past seasons. American Idol is also available on DVD, and specials about the program are often seen on both TV Guide Channel and FOX Reality.

I agree. Not only that, but she's too similar to Carrie Underwood. Seriously, one country-singing barbie doll is bad enough...but TWO???You must be registered and logged in to post a message.- yeah but carrie underwood wasnt like her... i think carrie can sing a lot better than her.... and she didnt pull the whole dumb act she was classy an humble... compared to kellie who is dumber than nails an id love to see her get off the show asap

I guess you weren't paying attention too much to her family story footage thing. They were at her hometown, and they showed a restaurant that had a sign saying "We have calimari here." But I give her a break with that, I didn't even know what it was.
But "what's a ballsy?" "on paper?" C'mon.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
ive met a lot of ppl who i know wouldnt understand the saying on paper and i bet that restaraunt in her town didnt have calamari beforePinkPearl24 wrote: EVILBSTD wrote: I dont think shes dumb she just hasnt seen much of the world shes from a small town i doubt any of the restaurants there serve calamari

Well, according to that article from Vote For The Worst (if you can believe it) it said that there were at least 2 restaurants that have served it even before Kellie was on idol. But like I said, I'm okay with her not knowing what that was. Especially since I didn't.
I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't know what on paper meant? That is a very common saying.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.

That is a very common saying.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.- She's an idiot for using the dumb blonde thing to begin with. It's like Jessica Simpson. She was funny at first, because she really said stupid things unintentionally but then she tried to make everything seem funny and stupid and naive. That is what Kelli is doing now. Anything Simon says she tries to sound stupid about it, but come on...who doesn't know what "On paper" means! She should be interviewed for street smarts.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.

I use it and know people who use it kind of regularly. "On paper, we make a good match but..." "It's a great idea on paper but..." C'mon, that's a pretty common term.
As for calamari I know a lot of people who didn't know what it was when they were her age, myself included. Remember she is young. But I think she takes the "stupid" thing way too far. Some things she probably knows but says she doesn't because she thinks it's cute. IT'S NOT!
And she is reinforcing a stereotype that Southern people are stupid, naive, hicks. Her southern accent, coupled with her cute blonde looks gives her license to thinks she can act that way. Maybe someone should send her Pink's song.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.- As much as I don't like her and her dumb blonde act, she's always safe every week. It seems like there are still millions of Americans voting for her.
I agree with the earlier assessment on Carrie. She was always professional and humble throughout last years competition.You must be registered and logged in to post a message. - I liked Carrie much better. She didn't put on a stupid act and she was a much better singer.
On another note, I have known what calamari is for a while, and I'm 4 years younger than she is, and I don't eat seafood.Edited on 04/17/2006 12:21pmYou must be registered and logged in to post a message. - I would not take the southern hick thing too serious. I rather think she reminds me of a Kelly Bundy, except not as pretty. She does overdo the dumb act & living in another time zone (dumb women were attractive in the 90's).You must be registered and logged in to post a message.

I didn't realize I needed to remember every time I used a particular saying...
I think the important thing is that I'd be able to recognize what it means. No, I don't think I use it in my regular vocabulary, but that doesn't mean that many others don't. Obviously Kellie lacks that basic ability to figure out the meaning of some words.
I don't know why I keep replying to these threads about Kellie's "intelligence." I think I've made my point that I don't care, yet I'm allowing myself to get sucked in anyway. If only I could cure my procrastination (April really sucks for college students!)You must be registered and logged in to post a message.- It is time for the Pickler to go . . . she's annoying, even to a Southern Belle like myself. It's those hooligans over at " vote for the worst .com " and their fans, keeping her safe every week. Maybe if everyone reading this (and your friends) called in votes for everyone BUT Kelly, it would oust her. It's worth a try!You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
- she's never been in the bottom 3...she's pretty good, but I don't think she'll make it... they're playing all these clips about her hard life back t home, so she's probably getting many sympathy votes...You must be registered and logged in to post a message.

All the sentences above are true. So I'm a stupid Southern hick huh?
