Summary: DIsappointing
Review: Hardly any performances. If you watch this video, you would wonder why the show was such a hit. All of this video could have taken place in 1 night. There was no suspense, no tension of watching your favorite move on or move out. And the 2 DVD set is an even BIGGER disappointment. In Simon-speak, it's dreadfully, absolutely dreadful!

Summary: Could've Been Better....
Review: This was my first DVD, so initially I was all excited because I didn't know any better. I mean, this had to have been done in a rush. The first season of American Idol had so many wonderful performances and I just don't understand why the makers wanted to be so stingy about supplying us, the fans, with those performances! There is one performance for each finalist except for EJ, AJ, and RJ. There are two performances each for Kelly, Justin, and Nikki. I know Christina Christian didn't make the top three (which she should've) but the DVD would've been much better if there were more performances by her (especially her rendition of Glory Of Love). There are a few group songs that are good, the bonus extras are fine, but the entire thing could've been much better. With the low price, it's still worth buying though.

Summary: Where is there a pinhead?
Review: I like you, you beatuful but has no lice. My favorite song, Snappy Relations, makes glad my kid but not so much Low Rider. Low Rider has favorite ending, Dennis Hopper did good mock up. Oh boi! I have no Kelly Clarkson pictures on my wall, I have no pleasure! Simon needs torture, possibly paper-cutting his pee-hole and sprinkling salt into his oh boi! Explosive, snappy cutting and editing sound colleges, I attend no university any more, highlight.

Summary: What A Disappointment!
Review: I purchased this DVD and boy was I disappointed. The production looks like it was a rushed job. Very little content and no substance. The only information I got out of this is that the final contestants of AI2 were so much better than those of AI1. I watched this once and have no desire to watch it ever again.I am looking forward to an AI2 DVD but I hope they would do a much better job than the above-mentioned DVD. Of course being a Clay fan, I hope to see more of him in the DVD. For now, I can only say that the AI1 DVD is a disappointment and a complete waste of my money.

Summary: Leaves you wanting more!
Review: This DVD does little to recreate the suspense or the buildup to the ultimate crowning of Kelly Clarkson as the victor of the first American Idol. Performances are abbreviated and there is far too little commentary from the judges (who are just as much of the show as the contestants). One would hope that the AI2 DVD will be a compilation of ALL the episodes.

Summary: I'm depressed by this
Review: I was very excited about the new American Idol DVD, and then was immediately disappointed that it was nothing but a cheap montage of the 2002 season. There was really no added commentary, no bloopers, no priceless moments. Then I realized, all at once, how sad a human being I truly am--for sitting there in my pajamas and hoping for some added tidbit of sordid human embarrassment. The DVD was a downer, but I've decided to change my life. Tomorrow I begin jogging and eating right; and I'm going to stop wearing those miserable sweaters that Simon always wears.

Summary: American Idol Mania hits our screens again!
Review: Relive all of the fantastic moments American Idol: Season 1 gave to us!! Relive Paula and Simons fights, all the BAD auditions and Kelly Clarkson's winning moment. With over 10 performances from the 10 finalists and 3 group performaces...this DVD is worth it!!

Summary: boring
Review: I really didn't care much for the DVD, there needs to be more footage from the show. they only have about 40 minutes of show stuff from a show, that was 2-3 hours a week for over three months. but the bonus features make it worth buying, if you like American Idol. if you're looking for mostly footage from the show, don't buy it.
it you're looking for lot's of interesting bonus stuff, buy it.

Summary: entertaining from someone who hasn't seen AI on TV
Review: I don't watch much TV so I got this tape. What I learned: American Idol competition is brutal. A number of talented people don't make the final cut and seeing the video you can see why. They expect each contestant to sing different styles of music each week e.g. 60's, 70's, big band, and country. It's obvious there are talents that have only a certain style they are best in e.g. rock. What can be glimpsed from this VHS is that Tamyra Gray and Christina Christian gave really gooood performances. Gray reminds me of Whitney Houston and Christian not only has a lovely voice but a great stage presence. Even got Simon Cromwell to say he's in love with her. It was also saddening to see the people who left that had so much to dream for e.g. one guy who made it up to the top had parents that were deaf and another just wanted to support her mom and make her proud. Makes one realize there are really great kids out there that are not just talented but also good.

Summary: Terrible content, terrible quality
Review: Most of the reviewers have summed up the terrible content of this DVD, so I'd like to comment on the quality of the video footage itself. The sound quality is terrible! I had to watch the DVD with my finger on the volume control the entire time. Basically, it would go from blaring loud to whisper quiet (there were a few scenes that I couldn't hear any of the )conversation with the volume turned way up. Sure, I bet they were in a hurry to get this one out, but don't waste your time and money watching it.
