Should i get a fake ID to get on American Idol?

Daliman · #1 03-03-2006, 03:04 AM

Every time I watch American Idol, I get annoyed by how weak most of the singers are. I'm confident that I could make it to Hollywood at a minimum and think I could also pretty easily top 12 if my OCD wouldn't screw me over, (which it likely would). I doubt I could win it all, but I do consider myself easily a better singer than Carrie Underwood,(every high school choir has a better singer than her...).

My problem is that I am old. 35, to be exact. 36 likely by the time that the next tryouts roll around. Now, getting a fake ID probably would be pretty easy, but I'm debating whether or not it would be worth the trouble I'd have to go to to conceal my age. Looks aren't a factor, as I can easily pass for 23. I guess I wouldn't be bothered by guilt of taking another contestants spot were I to make top 12, since if they weren't as good as me, they likely didn't deserve to go deep into it anyways, ( paging John Stevens AI3...). I'm also not thrilled at the prospect of standing in line for 12+ hours to get an audition. The topper of it all, ofc ourse, is that I would, of course, get caught eventually, and I don't know if it would be worth it to me to be away from my family for that time in a winless game. Course, being on TV would be great, and maybe I'd get exposure for music work, but hell, maybe I would have a bad day and not even qualify in the first place!

Anyways, any/all opinions and insults appreciated.

uh, wow. please tell me you haven't mentioned this plan to your friends and family, b/c you may never live it down.

You apparently haven't been paying attention if you think a fake id would work. The smoking gun would have you outed before you ever got on tv.

Start by making us a tryout tape.

But, every contestant thinks that. That's what makes the beginning of the show so popular. Your going to audition in front of the 3 dudes, Randy will say, "It was alright dawg, it was alright, I felt you." And Paul will say, "I think you have a geniunly good voice and I enjoyed it." And Simon will say, "It was dreadful, you sounded like a dying sheep".

Then the three will start bickering between each other. Then Simon will ask the two, "On to Hollywood?"

And the replys will be "No, Yes, No." And you'll go to the lobby and start cussing out the camera on how yer the greatest and were a favorite pf and how they're making a big mistake and you'll be famous someday.

Then they'll move on to the next moeran. So in short, yer wasting yer time.

Very few threads make me laugh out loud BEFORE I read them. You are to be commended.

You may need a medication adjustment.

screw that pop crap..There are people that were in my high school choir that sing better than a lot of the people on that show...(myself included)...but when you have to sing ray charles...people who sing bethoven's 9th don't hold up.

they look for specific things anyway...great singing is probably far down on their priority list.

unless you are a 36 year old stud...I wouldn't bother [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Ok, well, I guess my singing talent isn't as well known here as it used to be.

Either way, I'm not blowing smoke. I won the largest Karaoke competition in the nation in 2004, and get offers to work in various casinos every time I sing in Las Vegas, including having Clint Holmes personally commend my singing last week in LV.

If some of you wanna scoff,(other responses in this thread)it helps to know WTF you people are talking about, and not just pull stuff out of yer asses. Anyone who has seen me sing can tell you I'm not full of [censored], and there are numerous people on these boards who have seen me.
