TheGreenKnight March 11, 2015 Share March 11, 2015 It's too bad the idea that someone can sing well *and* be an "artist" is beyond these people. I don't consider most of the non-singers who've won this show artists. I believe the closest they've come is David Cook, Kris Allen and maybe Phillip Phillips (although his successful songs weren't written by him...). Honestly, I'm not sure Idol has had too many contestants who were "artists," period. Crystal Bowersox is one of the few that come to mind, Daughtry, maybe Colton Dixon and Angela Miller? I believe some of the successful winners have slowly evolved into artists over time (Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia, Jordin), although they didn't begin that way. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/543-ai-in-the-media/#findComment-915855

viajero March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 An EW interview with Boy George about his Idol mentoring experience: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/26/boy-george-american-idol-top-9 For one, it answers the question of what aging retired pop stars do with all their free time. It turns out that they vegetate on their sofa while second guessing song selection on reality TV singing competitions. More seriously, the interview does have a few of interesting nuggets: 1. The mentors actually do quite a bit of real mentoring. It isn't just a quick photo op with each contestant. 2. Boy George was most impressed by Jax and Clark. He calls them two "real musicians" (as opposed to the other seven who are fake?). Regarding Jax, he says "(she's) very eloquent; she knows her stuff. She’s a very knowledgeable person in terms of music" 3. He blames Joey's poor performance on the fact that she didn't listen to his advice. He does have something to say about everyone except Daniel, who he totally ignores. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/543-ai-in-the-media/#findComment-973603

I don't think he was wrong about Clark during the mentoring session. Clark was definitely straining to hit the high notes then. He just worked on it and excelled. The only time I heard Qaasim sound good was the few minutes that he was in the mentoring session. Then he must have forgotten what Boy George told him because he sang the same during his performance.
