Summary: almost perfect but where is everyone>?
Review: i like this DVD alot.... but they dont have at least one performance from each contestant.... that is some bull... they all deserve to have at least one performance.... they just exclude A.J., R.J., EJay, and jim.... in my opinion, they gave justin WAY WAY too many performances...

anyways.... by far the best performance that i love to death AND cried with paula: "a house is not a home'. that powerhouse voice blew me away the first time i heard it live and i can watch it now... still one of the best televised performances of our generation...PERIOD! tamyra was the best performer on that show... it should have been tamyra vs. kelly to be honest but its over now..

the DVD does not disappoint especially with brilliant performances:

'without u' & 'natural woman' kelly clarkson
'if you really loved me' ryan starr
'mary jane' nikki mckibbin
'lets stay together' justin guarini

ohh and cannot forget the finale performance with kelly singing 'for a moment like this' and she could not sing an edgewise.... but it was heartwarming.

one of the few things that does P me off about this DVD is not judges critics.... that is why we love simon and i want to relive what he said especially about nikki.... i love nikki she is one of my favourite performers in AI history but i want to hear what he said about her.... and i want to watch the fight against randy and simon about r.j. going to the finals...

overall this is what they should release DVDs instead of a cd with wack songs.....the performances are more memerable than the cd....

4.2 stars- just wish they put everyone on there

Summary: One of my favorite DVDs
Review: In the words of Randy, this DVD, "Did it's thang dawg!" I absolutely loved it. I only have one complaint about it. First, this movie didn't show many of the performances by the singers (they don't show ANY of EJay's and Jim's performance, not even in the extra features). They should have a section of EVERY performance by all of the singers, even in the Top 30.

Overall, this DVD was absolutely amazing. Brain was extremely funny in many sections of the show. I loved that section with the judges (I think it's called "When Judges Attack."). Wonderful!

But there's one more thing, why don't they have Season 2 and Season 3???

Summary: UGGHHHHH!!!!
Review: First of all, this show sucks in every single way that it is possible for a show to suck. They have run the gamut. You have your reality TV suck-factor (ALL "reality" TV shows are utterly dispicable), your arrogant, pompous, condescending, prissy, whiny, obnoxious, needs-to-just-keel-over-and-die British retard suck-factor (Simon, of course), your cutesy, trendy, demographically appealing American host with perpetually disheveled hair suck-factor (Ryan Seacrest, who I also hate), your long-irrelevant, obsolete, washed-up has-been who suddenly inexplicably feels she has a right to rate others suck-factor (the never-talented Paula Abdul), and of course then there's the contestants, who (whether they can sing or not) invariably pick the most inane, tepid, lame, schlocky, redundant, idiotic, pointless songs you could ever be unfortunate enough to hear on the worst lite-rock station in Kansas. ANYBODY who likes the kind of music they promote on "American Idol" needs to be tossed to the lions, and supposing Hell exists, I cannot imagine a better group of people to condemn to it than the people responsible for this show, which provides us all with a little slice of Hell here on earth. AMERICAN IDOL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Should have been a Season 2 disc.
Review: Now I like American Idol as much as the next person, but i have to say, when I look back at season 1 I see how untalented most of them were. What this disc is, is a feature program featuring the entire season pushed into about an hour. Hence the first problem. You dont even see 4 of the 10 finalists perform. The performances you do get to see are Ryan Starr, 2 from Justin, 2 from Nikkie, 4 from Kelly, and the ultimate American Idol performance, past, present, & future, Tamyra Grey singing A House Is Not A Home.

Some extras include a lot of wacky auditions, the Pasadena experience, and a tour the idols home. The second disk is pointless. Its mostly a bunch of producers talking about the show, not to mention an embarasingly stupid segment with Justin Guarini. They need to get rid of this cheap stuff, and come out with a full season dvd package. Fox would be making some money then.
