No one should buy this...All it does is give the Networks and Music studios the incentive to produce more fabricated BS music for the masses---talentless as well...Go ahead and purchase your dribble if you want and I may sound pretentious, but I still think I'm the only person in the world who has never seen one episode of this ridiculous whore-fest they call a talent show...

People who accuse A.I. being fake knows nothing about it, do your damn research on A.I. before making fun of it. If you don't like A.I., then don't post.

the AI winner's albums aren't manufactured pop. Kelly had a lot of input in her album and she didn't sing songs she didn't like. She wrote and produced a lot of tracks.
I'm sure the same thing will happen to Tamyra,Justin,Clay,Ruben.
Those of you who say it is manufactured pop are whack and clueless about what's really happening to the AI winners. I know for a fact Kelly's best friend and I'm 110% sure she's well treated and that she's considered as a life-time artist, not a one-hit wonder cash cow.

I suggest those that have such an affinity and reactionary defense read the salon article a few months ago about the contracts that kelly and others signed to be who they are...They are essentially no longer themselves they are owned by the companies: names, face, everything...these contracts are far and beyond oridinary recording contracts they are more like pacts with the devil that are lifetime of soulless pop drivel...
I would hope people wouldn't buy them, because like I said it just gives more ammunition to swell our already bloated culture with more lifeless rubish...

lostatmidnight : Yes Kelly signed a contract, but she's very free to do whatever she wants career-wise. The contract is just so the company makes sure everything works out fine and they don't have anything to worry about since Kelly is very wise and knows where she's going.
Some of you are really trying to make things appear darker and thougher than they really are. I know what her contract and her music company relations are and IM TELLING YOU SHE'S NOT A FREAKING PUPPET SO SHUT UP !

Accusing American Idol being manufactured is just laughable and sad, these singers are real and have real talent. All these singers for A.I. aren't fake, they were actual auditions, the show isn't scripted, it's all improvised.
