IDOLS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
I’ll kick off with this picture of one of the American Idols contestants who seem to be heading for glory – Casey Carlson.
No, I am not joking.
Yes, she is 20.
Here is another shot.
You can see more pics of Casey Carlson here.
Why don’t we get stuff like that?
Here in South Africa… in the real world… our current hottest contestant (as far as I’ve seen so far) is this little Durban angel, Angelique *ahem* Grobler.
Angelique Grobler
Cute
Gareth Cliff nearly jizzed in his pants when he saw her.
Randall and Dave Thompson were much the same.
Mara never spoke. That time.
Slightly earlier on she (Mara) got all teary eyed when a young African fellow sang a song by the late Miriam Makeba. When it came to judging, Dave Thompson pulled a corker out of his arse when he said, “Out of respect to Miriam Makeba, I think Mara should decide for all of us if you go through to the next round or not.”
Huh?
What the fuck are you talking about, Dave?
Based on WHAT?
Her being black?
Her being dead?
With all due respect to Miriam, what does that have to do with anything?
If someone sings a Nina Simone song in American Idols, do you think they would leave it up solely up to Paula Abdul to decide?
If someone sings an Elvis song are you going to pick up a phone and let me decide?
No you wouldn’t. It’s just so fucking awkward and soulless in the local Idols show and panel that they have created this overly-contrived air and unwritten decision to form these pathetic baseless little stories and “moments” out of sweet fuck-all. Each moment so goddamn glaring and false that one wonders at what point the show will be deemed unconstitutional and taken off air.
You think I’m joking?
I refer, of course, to section 10, chapter 2 of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution:
10. Human dignity
Everyone has inherent dignity and the right to have their dignity respected and protected.
Taking the entire country for a poes shows no respect for anyone’s dignity and the show is therefore, QUITE CLEARLY, unconstitutional.
Can someone please get William Booth on the line!

See, here we go again with M-net cleverly marketing Idols by asking Seth to tell the people of S.A that Idols is taking the people of S.A for a poes. This time you’ve gone way too far, M-net. Stop telling Seth to tell us that you are taking us for a poes. Naughty, Mnet. Very naughty.
Now stop this silliness and give Randy his pink boxers so he can fight. Schedule it for 3am. This is when Randal is at his most alert state and for instance uses the word “finally” twice in one e-mail. For instance.
Yes, Seth, go check that mail again.

Is it just me, or does Angelique Grobler look like that 16 year old bird who Hank Moody bangs in Californication (season 1)?
Yes? No?

At least Idols is getting some publicity.
2oceans have most probably given them more exposure than all 4 judges with all their “personalities” and expertise that they supposedly bring to the show.

I thought she looks EXACTLY like her – spot on, Cape Town’s Favourite Son – you’re going STRAIGHT to the finals!

Banger, buddy….and 2oceans hasn’t gained any yardage from this at all? Seth has played this very slickly.
Come now chom. Bit early for you maybe?
Anyway.
Their contrived bullshit pisses me off no end. Well said Seth.
Insipid oxygen-thieves.

I guess that settles the “Is this another marketing ploy for idols once and for all”
BTW, she does look similar to the Californication chick whose real name is Madeline Zima (http://www.chickipedia.com/madeline-zima/photosgallery/Mad5_764-jpg.html).
Nice Tabs!

at first glance I thought AG looked like the grown up Winnie Cooper…Christ almighty, remember her? Would you believe that Winnie is now a hardcore mathematician, released a “Sums is Rad” maths book, ´good lord, bring back Pythagoras anyday.

Jesus, that chick is exactly like the belter on Californication. I’d let her punch me in the face…

The ‘belter’ from californication used to also be maxwell sheffield’s youngest daughter in ‘the nanny’. Sis!
BTW, my vote goes to Pixie bennett for idols v. Crap show, but this meisie is rad. And she is in the top 34.
Apparently Madeline Zima look alike

Haha this is really funny 4 me 2 read!!
Im Angelique Grobler by the way..
Dont watch Californication so av no idea if looking like this chick is a good or a bad thing!?!
But of coarse will be checking it out..
Guys i know u think the show is a load of bull but it was really intense & at a stage i was in tears.. (Not 4 bein kicked out, but because i thought i was goin home & then was actually goin through 2 the next round).
Other than that the talent this year is incredible!!! u all really should check it out.. Contestants r at another level 2 the previous years!!
Toodles:)

Gareth an Randal are a bunch of wankers…If a hot chic walks on they both take a second look and give her their undivided attention…I bet they are busy polishing each others bishops under the desk……

Agelique Grobler, ek sal at least 5000 extra votes vir jou organize nader aan die finals omdat jy so blerrie hot en cute is, maar dan moet jy my guarantee dat Randall en Seth gaan fight. Tune vir Randall one time stukkend.
