"Idol Sucks!"
Filed under: American Idol > Chris Daughtry
We love Chris Daughry. He tells it like it is!
One of the most successful American Idol alums in years, the rocker is now trashing the show which made him famous, but premiered Tuesday night to disappointing numbers.
"I feel like [American Idol] it’s definitely lacking some credibility at this point,” Daughtry tells Rolling Stone. “It’s in a state of decline and if they don’t do something about it, it’s probably not gonna last too much longer. I’m sure that’ll be used against me, but that’s the truth, you know? People get tired of seeing people that suck,” he says. “It’s funny at first, but come on. They spend three weeks on people that can’t sing, and that’s what they’re banking it on. [They should] find some people that you can really invest in.”
Testify!!!!
BORING
first!
first!
holla
Actually, the first three weeks are the best part of the whole show.
IDOL sucks THE BIG ONE
NOT TRUE!The article was taken out of context. Below is from Chris on his website daughtryofficial.com: It's so sad that when you're asked something and you answer honestly….
nhaaaaaaaaaaa
first… >
He is absolutely right…. HE is successful because he can play and write his own shit. Most of the people on there want to go from nobody to Christina Aguilera or Pre Britney Breakdown fame. They are clueless and not overly talented. The fact that they are dropping their own winners off label is even more a testament to the fact that they dont market them once the show is over and the entire thing is a fucking gimmick. So why the fuck would we watch something and invest OUR time into it when it is going to be bullshit in the end anyway? No thanks. The show sucks.
Love her
you're made out to be the bad guy. Yes, I'm referring to the Rolling Stone post. The funny thing is, if you heard the whole conversation you would've heard all the good things I said about the show as well. Like for instance: How it's an amazing platform to launch a career….."If you take it seriously!!!!" Let's not forget I was a struggling artist for 11 years that never got any respect or notoriety so know that I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity that Idol gave me. And that's where my comments came from. It all started when the interviewer (who was great by the way) asked me where the "Idol stigma everyone talks about" comes from. Ya know….the reason people never take anyone from the show serious in the real world and why people say "oh they came from AI, they're not real artists." So, I answered that I don't feel that enough "artists" try out for the show because of how many people they focus on that are obviously there for comedic and entertainment value. And when you focus enough on people that aren't serious about it then it's hard for the audience to take you as an artist serious. And it's also hard as a potential contestant to think it's a good way to get seen because you're afraid of being made a joke of. I also said I think it's AWESOME that they are letting the contestants play their own instruments and that I feel that will show something in the contestants that people (the audience) never get to see….but that wasn't printed.
Chris is hot
i do not like american idol….
nem ídolos…
aff…
I could be first! He's very arrogant.
the best thing to come out of idol yet!
nice
Right on. I couldn't have said it better myself.
frist
First, I love Chris Daughtry. He rocks.
Second, I agree with him and I had the same feeling last night when I was watching the auditions. People tune in to see people living the dream. Idol should be a big opportunity for people who would otherwise not be able to break into the music business. We love to see people like Carrie Underwood who went from the farm to the big time.
Watching people suck and fail is just cruel and it gets real old, real fast.
I agree, I don't like watching the start of the show for that reason. I mean they show 12 horrible people and 2 good ones and the show is over. I think people would rather see a bunch of good singers. Also some people you don't even get to see until the last part of American Idol top 30 because they spend more time on people who aren't even going on to the next round. Like it's so not funny to keep seeing different costumes. I know I am not the only one wishing I could fast forward.
Yum Yum Screw!!!
Chris who??? hahaha…
so true! it sucked last night.
All the WHITE Trash Producer ruined the show Trash Love other Trash
i'm sorry… who is this d00d??
first!!!!!!!!
I agree. I hate the first few weeks of Idol, except when they show the really good auditions. I rarely find the bad ones funny at all - more sad, and annoying.
FIRSTTT? i love chris daughtry
Chris Daughry is a fuckin idiot. without IDOL he'd be nothing. he was nothing
still is. 15 mins are done. wannabe
I love him! He is such a hot peice of ass!
first…fag
chirs is hot - i'd like to smell his feet, socks and boots
I hate Idol, but here's a word of advice. Take three seasons off and let the talent pool regenerate so you can have stronger people coming in. The show has gone the way of the buffalo and the only way to fix it would be above, or hopefully Randy Jackson and Paula choke each other to death in a weird sex game only they know.
i fuck u
Biting the hand that feeds you….how original.
whatever. as if this bald gay face didn't audition like a fame-hungry whore at one point…just like the rest of the kids he's mocking.
whatever daughtry. I bought your album when it came out. I just flushed it in the toilet after reading this.
stupid.
GOD HES HOTTTT
i'm glad someone finally came out and said it, i love him haha
what a joke! he owes everything to AI! He'd still be working at auto shop if not for AI. How soon they forget!!!!!
1st
1st?
If it wasn't for idol this asshole would still be slinging french fries for a living. He needs to shut the fuck up and be grateful. Nobody likes a critic.
I like the singers who cannot sing . Simon needs to earn his money and the bad singers are his price to pay.
The show doesn't suck but the "artist" do. He's looking at the show from an "artist" point of view. They are all doomed to fail because they are nothing but talent show winners!!

american idol has always sucked, really.
it's produced no definite change in music.
everyone fails.
And who is this freaking asshole who think his a celebrity.
cum on…i don't watch american idol…but if i pass by it and it showing crazey people that can't sing..i stop and watch a few. =)
sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ungreatful bore*******************************************************************************************************************he didn't win***************resentful bore
He sucks at any rate, nu metal is the pits. I'd liken him to the singer of Creed…woof!
I think it’s kind of hypocritical for him to say that about something that has gotten him so famous. Maybe it’s true, but that doesn’t show much loyalty from him. Besides, I think most people really enjoy getting a good laugh from the singers that suck. I just think you can only do the same thing so many times. It’s not like American Idol could stay number one forever.
……..JUST ANOTHER MILDLY TALENTED INGRATE THAT IS BITING THE HAND THAT FED HIM! WITHOUT THAT 'DECLINING' SHOW, THIS BALD GRUNGE SCREAMER WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN FLIPPING BURGERS OR ASKING "PAPER OR PLASTIC?" IN BUTTFUCK NORTH CAROLINA WHILE SCREAMING "ACHY BREAKY HEART" AT THE 'DEW DROP INN' ON SATURDAY NIGHTS. GIMME A FUCKING BREAK AND JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND {{{{{ SCREAM }}}}}} FOR YOUR SUPPER OR JUST GO FUCK 'ACE'!
Hey… So have you heard yet that Dr. Phill is not a board certified psycologist! He retired in Texas in the year 2006! HA!!!! So, who the hell is he to tell Brit Brit anything! He really wanted a show huh?
Word.
HE'S NOT TRASHING THE SHOW!!!!! HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH..I DON'T WATCH THE SHOW, BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!
Re: danielle hendrzak – Thanks for posting that!
i love the bad ones i only watch the auditions! too too funny! but the show did kinda fall when taylor hicks won that was a joke, but i guess thats what happens when ppl don't call in to vote
IDOL SUCKS ALL THE ARTIST DO BAD AND EVENTUALLY GET DROPPED FROM THEIR LABEL.
You know what bothers me most about all these AI breakout stars is that they always come back to say bad things about the show. Ok the show may not be great, but if it wasnt for the show these people would still be nobody's. We would never have heard of them. So maybe instead of biting the hand that fed them, they should be more grateful and say some nice things about it.
yeah right?! my fav. part of the show is the begining cuz of all the crazyz out there! lol i stop watching once they get rid of the bad people..
I love the first three weeks!!! Just because you dont like, dont start watching it til it get to the part you want. Like i stop watching it after the worst of the worst.
Chris Daughtry is as generic as they come. What kind of credibility does he think he has? Who actually buys his music? Fourteen year old girls? And he would be nowhere if he hadn't been on Idol.
100% TRUE!
"Lacking some credibility AT THIS POINT?" Oh, that's rich. Look pal, "Idol" always was and always will be a great big factory churning out faceless mediocrity after faceless mediocrity, yourself included. And don't think by pretending you're above it all now excuses your crimes against music. You're a hack, and what's more you're a fame-hungry whore posing as a "serious artiste." You're not even fuckable. Just go away.
This isn't what he said…check out Chris's blog for the true story. American Idol is still the most popular show on television. Why all the hate Perez?
It was soo boring except when the eccentric girl who sang like Joplin. It was entertaining but that is because tv sux these days. Writers strike is def. reflecting and it shows
Actually, I only watch the first few weeks of AI for the comedy aspect of it. After that, I've lost interest. If they get rid of the funny auditions, they will probably lose a lot of their audience.
I will say after last nite premiere… they need to focus LESS on the "behind the scenes" stuff, and the "home visits" they make to the contestants. SNOOZE FEST
Daughtry it the perfect guy to talk about this topic. If anyone knows about lacking credibility it's that bald douchebag.
This fuk can only guzzle cum! fuk him! More AIDS Beer for fag chris. cunt.
What a fucking hypocrite. He sure didn't mind cashing those AI checks !!! What a fucking asshole !! I can't believe people buy CD's from this prick.
whoa wait…
HE'S FROM AMERICAN IDOL??? WTF!?
wow amazing.
I don't like his music though
but still… I totally did not know he was from AI. geez.

I have to agree with Chris. It's funny for about the 2nd show and then, I start to wonder what parents and support system are behind these koo koo birds who just want 10 seconds of fame. Why aren't their parents or friends making sure they get to their Psych appts and get their meds? The sad part is that most of them actually are surprised whent they're told they can't sing. I can't imagine lying to my son or daughter if they can't carry a tune and support their decision to go and humiliate themselves. I love watching American Idol but enough of showing these poor people that seriously need medication.
Amen! The singers that remain on are terrible! It's the Teeny Boppers that only vote for someone because they are cute. I can't watch anymore.
Man I bet he has a big, thick cock with huge, hairy balls and a big load. So HOT!
Also he steals music from other writers and claims that he wrote it !!
Example: It's not over was written by Mark Wilkerson (Melissa Joan Hart's husband)
He is a SCUMBAG !!!
Testify?!?! He needs to shut the fuck up. It's the same show it always was. How dare he bite the hand that feeds him. What a prick he is. I used to like him. Now he is starting to show his true colors. Asshole!
personally i do not see his appeal. i can't stand the type of music he sings, he's not attractive, and he comes off as a total jerk. i do agree with him that AI is on the decline though. but i always watched it for the entertainment value not because i thought it was going to produce any great talent necessarily. i have never bought a cd by any of the contestants.
That's what I like watching about idol…people who thinks they can sing and can't and people who dress like fools…Is what makes American Idol in the first three weeks so interesting and funny!
TOTALLY AGREE ON THE "Sick of seeing bad singers" part. I am far more interested in seeing people who can actually sing!
I actually auditioned for idol this last july in san diego. after sitting in a stadium for 16 hours, only to watch idiot after idiot get picked was sad. People I had heard in the halls singing who were great, got turned away. But two morbidly obese women, a guy in a cow costume, and some bitch in a hot green bikini and nothing else who couldn't sing got through. By the time I reached the judges, they literally told me, " You are amazing, but we are only looking for the freaks at this point of the day. " Great! Fuckers. You tell it like it is Daughtry. Hopefully I will join you soon!
i disagree!
i only like watching Idol when ppl suck.
i only watch the auditions, the type of music they perpetuate i find really boring!

AMEN…….I so agree with him. He is just telling it like it is, There is nothing wrong with the truth. You cant bank a show on the same shit EVERY SEASON. c'mon now!!!! ♥
Idol has lost all its luster for me. I was a junkie who never m issed an episode since Season 2…..I planned my nights around it. But I'm bored with it….it has run its course.
AI is just about money hungry simon cowell trying to find acts to sign to his record label. its bullshit, i can't believe people fall for it every time. simon just wants that TV exposure to suck in the audience to buy AI shit. If these guys were good enough they would get record deals like the other artists they shouldn't need a crappy tv show singing cover versions every week.
