Poor Exploitation of This TV Phenomenon!

"Despite brief comments from minor members of the "Top Ten" from various seasons of AMERICAN IDOL, this DVD offers little information that the viewer didn't already know. Without access to the actual program, we get very brief scenes of contestants performing outside of the show... comments from very minor celebrities and comedians- this all adds up to a very boring and uninformative waste of time. Season Two contestant Corey Clark gets a lot of attention(he was kicked off for having a criminal record, and later briefly caused a scandal by revealing he had a relationship with judge Paula Abdul). And most heinous of all is the amount of time spent viewing "nobodies" of various ages singing the Nationl Anthem in a mock-audition setting! This DVD isn't worth the time renting, let alone purchasing!"
Total Waste of Time

"This DVD offers a boring hour of hurried 10-second opinions, jokes and quips from forgotten contestants still angry that they didn't win. They speak of producer-created conspiracies that marked them for slaughter - a process they claim had nothing to do with votes or talent.
American Idol Unauthorized authorizes nothing we haven't already seen on TV or read in the tabloids. The most shocking "revelation" is the one involving Corey Clark and Paula. Who cares?
In essence, a bunch of long-forgotten losers blame American Idol for not soaring them to fame and fortune. They have a grudge and a score to settle. They made this DVD and then pawned it off as something new and deliciously scandalous. It isn't even close, and it's about as exciting as watching grass grow.

"Nothing like preordering an item 30 years in advance. You never know how long the lines will be when something like this goes on sale 30 years from now."
