American Idol - The Worst of Seasons 1-4 (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For me the best part of American Idol is watching the horrible audtions at the start of each season. These poor souls actually believe they have what it takes to make it to the big time. The sad part is they REALLY believe they can make it, sometimes they have family members who encourage them. Some say that these have to be fakes, people can't be this bad. Well they can be, they can't be that good of actors!!
This DVD has some of the best worst performances from the first four seasons. You get William Hung, you get that guy singing "Like A Virgin", you get my personal favorite, Mary Roach. You've got to credit these people for at least having the guts to get up there and try.
Now for the part that's not so great about this set. Many of the songs have been cut, I would guess because they couldn't get the rights to them. By cutting out the songs, you don't really get to see why they are being so harshly judged. So the judges come off as being rude for no real reason.
Aside from that, this DVD is great fun. But again how many of us would have the guts to get up there ourselves??

American Idol: Season 6 Finale Performance Show - The Top 2 (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Buyer beware. If you're like me and wanted to relive the finale show in its ENTIRETY, this DVD will absolutely NOT deliver. If you're looking for all the spots where the other contestants perform with celebrities, you're not gonna get it. If you're looking for the the wonderfully sweet African Children's Choir, (my personal favorite), it's not here. So by entirety, I mean literally everyone else who was on stage besides these two finalists. You won't see anything, and I mean ANYTHING except Blake and Jordan performing their songs, the judges critiquing them, and Chris Daughtry performing "Home." That...is...it.
I partially blame myself for not properly researching this DVD first, but I guess I just didn't expect that a DVD that claims to be the "Finale Performance Show" will have shaved off everything but 40 minutes worth. The runtime on this DVD was certainly deceptive. I suppose the 90 minutes runtime was both discs combined. What a disappointment. This finale show was one that had so many features I enjoyed so it was let-down just to see Blake and Jordan when I wanted to see everyone else too. Sure, some of the show was kinda stupid, but so much of it was just so entertaining and I wanted to see ALL of it.
So yeah...if you want JUST Jordan and Blake, then by all means, get this. It certainly does them justice I suppose. But if you want everthing else, best just hunt it out on the internet.
