I was watching it right now and Rubin Studard did Imagine and let me tell you it was good, but not as good as olp preforming it live tho.

Can your sig be any bigger?

What's the point of having tablature in your sig when you don't play the bass?

My dad was watching it, and I saw the part where he sang Imagine. I thought he sucked ass. He fucked up the lyrics and butchered it (mind you, not as badly as Raine on Peace Songs). I came down stairs and listened to the live OLP recording. No comparison.

really?...yeah other people said that too...i thought it was pretty good...but it definitely should've been longer...you can't wrap up a 7 season show in just one hour...the beginning was pretty slow...but the battles were good...and the humour had some good moments too...and anya was kind of a weird character to kill off, i thought they'd do someone a little more significant...and spike...well..i didn't want him to die...but it would make sense that he did...could've been better i suppose...but not bad...but definitely needed to be longer...i mean last season's finale was 2 hours...and this is the Series finale...geesh.. :neutral:

..*sigh* oh well...i'll have to start watching the reruns :nod:

yea, i thought it should have been longer. it was way too short.

and i thought the finale was pretty boring. they fought, they won. as usual. like every episode. everyone should have died :evil:

I'm confused about the Buffy finale because James Marsters signed up for Angel. And...the Buffy finale doesn't really allow that.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with the ending too. It was kinna sad cause it was all over, but it was...just like every other episode. It wasn't like the finale of last season, or the finale before that...

james marsters is going to be on angel? i did not know that. i used to watch angel, then it got kinda boring. but if james marsters is going to be on, maybe i should start watching it again.

I like how what's-her-name from last year is no longer the American idol, and in a year what's-his-name from this year won't be the American idol either. It's so true that it's hilarious.

I hate that they start off with 10 or 12 different lines to vote on, and then they narrow it down to 2 by the end so that they're probably actually getting more calls coming in to fewer lines, so all the lines are constantly packed. That's why the votes are so close at the end. Let's just say they keep the lines open for one hour, and to make things easy, each line can take 10 calls at a time, and since they're automated calls each one takes 10 seconds. As long as there are at least 10 people trying to call for each person at the same time, the vote will be split. Contestant number 1 could have 100 people trying to call at a time, and contestant 2 could have 20, but since the lines can only handle 10 calls at a time, it is as if 10 people were calling for contestant 1 and 10 for contestant 2. At the end of the hour, they'll both have just about 3,600 calls. Whenever you can call into all of the contestants' numbers for this program and get a busy signal, the vote is completely fucked. A better way to do it is have one number, and you call that number and then after it picks up you press a button to pick who your vote is for. That way, there will still be busy signals, but the ratios between contestants at the end would be an accurate representation of the overall trend in voting.

I hate that the show exists, and that my family watches it. At least it's over for the year.

Anybody else notice that they picked a guy that would probably have a heart attack, or at least sweat profusely, if he ever gave a full concert. Actually, they didn't really pick him. There were just too many people calling for an accurate vote. Maybe he won with 60% of the votes. Maybe the other guy got 60% of the votes. Either way, the retarded voting system kept it real close.

i'm proud to say that i've never watched a single minute of a single episode of american idol. :mrgreen:

I watch the first few episodes, just to see auditions and laugh at the people who really suck.
