American Idol: The Search for a Superstar

Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I was a HUGE fan of the show, and had been excited for this dvd. I wish now though that I hadn't wasted my money. I was hoping for performances, auditions (especially wanted to see the bad ones,) all the stuff that made the show good. What did I get? A thrown together piece of [stuff]. First of all there are only a handful of performances (not even the good ones.) Second, the thing isn't even edited very well. It is just thrown together. It doesn't have performances from everyone, but it had all the cheesy "goodbye" clips from all the contestants. This DVD could have been great--what were they thinking?!?

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: This video stunk. There was nothing on the video that wasn't aired on TV, and only a few full-length performances. There were no full-length (or even half-length) clips of those goofy Ford Focus skits or their other behind-the-scenes things like when they built the house for Habitat for Humanity. They had very brief clips of them--but the clips were only about 5 seconds long. That's not enough time to enjoy American Idol. They didn't show any of the judges much, nor the judges' comments, and no interviews with the contestants or fights between the contestants and the judges. The closest it got to showing arguments was a quick clip of Justin turning to the audience and saying, "I respect your opinion, Simon, but what do you guys think?" and also Randy getting out of his seat and asking Simon if he wanted to fight. However, they left out many entertaining parts of the show, and didn't show Justin's apology. The whole video, being only an hour long and full of boring footage, was a big disappointment. It contained about 5 performances, such as Tamyra Gray singing "A House is Not a Home", and clips of people being voted off, with little clips of footage shown on TV about the contestants (like soundless 5-second clips of behind-the-scenes stuff, and Jim signing to his deaf parents). Save your money and buy the DVD instead--with all the extras, it's sure to be better. (Plus, I hear there's Easter eggs in the DVD!) Don't waste your money or an hour watching this boring video.

Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY
Review: I was so disappointed in this dvd, it's tiny little clips of each show, and not even good clips at that. The bonus dvd, it's [not good] too. They made this for all the 14 year olds who love Justin. So, if you're a 14 year old who loves Justin... this is the dvd for you. Do not assume that this dvd is like the Sex and the City dvd or the 24 dvd, because it's not.

Summary: Justin made this show a success
Review: This DVD is awesome simply because it features Justin Guarini. Sure, I love all the kids, but the simple fact is, I watched and voted only for Justin! He has something that draws you to him, and a beautiful voice of course. He is the best thing to come along since sliced bread! Seriously, I now know what beatlemania felt like...and thank you god for bringing Justin to all of us! Get this DVD! A day in the life of Justin is reason enough at last. This is coming from a 30 yr. old woman, by the way! He brings out the 12yr old girl in me, what can I say!

Summary: American Idol
Review: The American Idol DVD is awesome! It shows alot of great footage of the entire process. I loved that they showed each of the 10 finalists singing a song and their group songs. The extra's are great too! Alot of behind the scenes stuff! If you loved American Idol...you will love this DVD!

Summary: My Review
Review: I have the DVD, and I bought it off the American Idol website. I think it is a cool DVD. It has an abbreviated (one hour to be exact) version of the entire series. Most of the ten finalists have at least one song on this. It also has some "Behind the Scenes" footage. I reccommend this to anyone who is an American Idol fan. I do not reccomend this to anyone who is not. I hope this helps!!

Summary: American Idol DVD - Not Up To Par
Review: Not enough behind the scenes footage of the contestants. And when will the producers realize that WE DON'T CARE ABOUT BRIAN AND RYAN!!!!!?????

Summary: Classic Entertainment
Review: American Idol proves that the talent show format, originally made popular by Ted Mack, Major Bowles, and later by Star Search, never dies, it just comes back redressed for the times. And why not? What could be more entertaining than seeing young and talented people take their shot at stardom? This show was a welcome relief from the scores of other "reality shows" that simply put pretty people in difficult situations. Although the performances certainly run the gamut, they all have heart, and the behind the scenes footage is facinating and hilarious.

Summary: AMERICAN IDOL A GREAT SUMMER SHOW BUT...
Review: AMERICAN IDOL WAS A GREAT SUMMER SHOW. WHO WOULD WANT TO SEE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE? MAYBE A DIEHARD FAN? I RECOMMEND THE DVD TO ANYONE WHO DIDN'T SEE THE SHOW THIS SUMMER. KELLY WAS A DESERVING WINNER BUT I PREDICT TAMYRA GRAY WILL BECOME A STAR...SLASH THAT COMMENT ... SHE'S ALREADY A STAR.
