American Idol Comments
As you are probably well aware Will sang on the
finale of American Idol last night (3rd September 2002), however
some comments have been less favourable than thought and some Americans have
really slammed him, here are some of those comments and some really nice ones
just to keep the balance…

There is no way in hell Will sings better than Justin. Will is so tongue-tied it ridiculous!!! I couldn't make out what he was singing due to the slurring. HOW THE HELL DID HE BECOME UK POP IDOL???????
Okay sure there has been alot of hostililty on our part
towards Britain. Yes we dumped your Tea into the harbor, yes we kicked your
butts off of the continent.But were those any reasons for you to send Will
Young to America and torture us. I believe an apology is in order. remember we
saved your country in the war. I thought we were friends.
Please say you are sorry.
Hi all of you! After reading a few posts I
just have to say that I am VERY disappointed in the remarks/comments made by
some Americans right now. 1) To judge Will because he is gay is pretty
scary and says little about the maturity of the people who say it, and
unfortunately us as Americans, 2) Will sang VERY well tonight. His song
choice was SO different from what we "normally" hear on American
"Clear Channel" radio. It showcased his talent without him
sounding overdone, overwrought, and fake. There is a "realness"
about Will that I find incredible and (again) refreshing. 3) These boards make
me very sad. They are mostly antagonistic and petty, along with immature
and boring. We've tried to make this "message board room"
somewhat peaceful and more about information gathering and swapping. My
friend Kasper and I whole-heartedly disagree on who should be the American Idol
(me=Kelly). The point is we have come here to discuss Will, find out more
about him, find out more about Pop Idol, and to meet other people interested in
American Idol.
I don't mean to be preachy, but I am ashamed of
this crap and hope, for Will's sake, that he doesn't read all of this crap,
because it is ignorant and misguided. Cheers!
I was
very disappointed with Will Young's performance tonight on American Idol.
I've heard a lot of clips of Will's performances and can't fathom why they
chose to have him debut in the U.S. with THAT song. Just because it's a classic
Jackie Wilson song, does not make it good to listen to now. The crowd was
totally not into him at all and I definitely wasn't. It just isn't that
great of a song. It may have been cool 20 years ago, but it's not really
what people are listening to anymore. I wouldn't buy a single of that
song. If he was making a debut, it seems like he should have sung a song
he would actually release here. That particular song will not sell.
Couldn't they have him sing something like Ain't No Sunshine, or Light My Fire,
or just pretty much anything else? He has a nice voice, it's really
different sounding, but that song just isn't good. The original songs
that Kelly and Justin sang were lame too. I was just hoping for some
really great blow me away performances, and didn't really get any. Sigh.
Im only stating the facts WILL is a much better
singer than justin
Justin is ok but he sounds annoying to me cause he
sings out of his throat and not gut.
Kelly should win and Will should duet with her!!!!
Will was just interviewed on The Early Show....he sure is
a great representative for the UK....I can see why you are all so proud of him
and love him so. He said that winning and the aftermath was
"10 times more than I every dreamed it could be." Well
good for him! He was also asked about Simon...he said that he was "a
bit rougher here than in the UK....I think he has gotten even
nastier!" BTW...Will is just about as cute as can
be....and such beautiful eyes!
If I wanted to write I definition for the word idol, I
would definitely include Will. From all the interviews and television
moments I've seen of him, he seems genuinely down-to-earth, humble and amazed
at his success. It's clear if he wanted to, he could denounce certain
people (Simon C) but he chooses to remain objective as an idol should.
Will's someone whom I can admire for being a respectful human being with a
great sense of humor and talented singing voice. The fact that he's gay
is inconsequential to his talent, although I can add that as his asset for
something I can relate to and admire. He's not brazen about his sexual
preference unlike certain celebrities who push their religion or flaunt their
infidelities in the media spolight. Will's very opininonated about
his career and doesn't want to become a studio puppet which is another
admireable trait. I could write volumes about the virtue's of Will and
what I admire about him, but I won't. If I were choosing an American/Pop
Idol, Will is definitely my winner and I admire Britian for choosing him.
