Rosie in the News

I didn't hear what she said but she is right. I think that the judges on American Idol can go a little to far. If a person can sing it should not matter their apperance. Not being a waffer is not the end of the world.I don't remember what singer it was but it was in the 90's. The people of the womans lable had another person in the video pretending to be her. Telling the woman that it would sell more records for her. Well, the woman who was full figured came out later on and said something. I mean even if the person can not sing they don't need to be so harsh about it. I guess the people who go onto audition know what they can expect too.

Rosie O'Donnell has a big mouth....and I like that. I mean she is not afraid to speak to her mind. I may not agree with her at times but I applaud her for speaking up. I do think that maybe she tries to hard to be rude and dispell the Queen Of Nice rep she got when she had he show, but that is part of her charm. As far as American Idol...I do think that viewers enjoy the judges being mean. It is sad but the judges just do what many other people do, the only difference is that they are on tv. I mean, it's not right what they do, but that is really what is expected of them by the viewers. And anyone going to audition should know to expect that kind of behavior. If I had the gall to show up there and swear that I could sing I would expect them to be mean and make fun of me. That is part of what makes Idol a huge successful show. Anyways, I think Rosie has a right to her opinons and I think the judges at Idol will continue to act the way they do. Welcome to America, where free speech is not only allowed but encouraged.

Rosie is right and is probably voicing what everyone is thinking and doesn't voice out loud. I myself think that American Idol is going to be different this year because the judging does seem to be different they used to be lovable even simon somewhat but things has changed this year maybe they don't wanto do it but are under contract to and this is a way to get out of the contract by being cruel and make unnecessary remarks. There singing shouldn't have to do anything about their appearance and if it does then they need to put up signs and say only the beautifulest,skinniest,smartest need apply. I think maybe this will be the last year for the show especially if things remain the way they do.(with the judges).So I think Rosie is right.

You know what, I wish Rosie would shut her mouth. All of a sudden she thinks she is an expert on all topics. She has a big mouth and I wish she'd shut it. I cannot stand the woman. I really think she has lost it. She use to be likeable when she had her own talk show and now all of a sudden she is wacko. She starts a fight with everyone lately and is so opinionated. How dare she say they shouldn't make fun of someone when she did that herself with Donald Trump. She started it with making fun of his hair. She even started it with Kelly Ripa over the Clay Atkin episode. And of course she has to bring being gay into it. Kelly was not offended because he was gay that had nothing to do with it but of course big mouth has to get her back and assume that when something goes wrong it's people lashing out because they are anti-gay. She is off her rocker and should be commited.

I can't wait till 2008. We will have president Hilliary and Rosie O'Donuts as the VP. All our problems will be solved.

Im definitly not a rosie fan but I did think that simon was cruel and rude to some of those people. Its true though that that's what the people are looking for. Its the ratings they are after and thats all. The more bizarre the show the higher the ratings. It all seemed fixed to me. They put on television some of the strangest looking and acting people they could find. Im sure they are all prequalified before they get into the judges. Those kind of people are what they are looking for. It gets the people talking.

I don't like Rosie either. But I do agree that the American Idol judges seem more sarcastic and meaner than ever.

Rosie is making a serious comment about the American Idol judges. I certainly do not see anything to disagree about or critique in her opinion. I do have a thought about her opionion, though. I wonder what star rating she would get for expressing herself thusly here at myLot?

I have never liked this rude, crude woman she is obnoxious I do not like any show she has ever been a part of.

honestly think rosie has a big mouth and she needs to learn how to keep it shut. she just has to complain about something doesn't she. i think she is not happy unless the spot light is on her.

Rosie will say anything to get attention. Lord knows she has no talents or great wisdom to offer us, so she turns in to a train wreck for all of us to rubber neck at. I fore see here soon, Rosie is going to be out of job and we will be rid of her. I refuse to watch the view with that loud mouth on there. She brings no intelligence to the table, just a lot of hot air. What in the world was Barbra thinking?

The only reason I don't feel bad for those people they talk about is they know when they go in that room that they are being recorded. They know what is involved when they audition and they see what is on TV when it airs. So I don't feel that bad for those people because they know what they are getting into when they go there. Another thing, some of those people have to go for the attention, because its not like they are actually good or could think they were.

I am so sick of Rosie talking about other people all the time,she should keep her big mouth shut.

rosie is very fortunate now a days

I don't normally watch Rosie, but I did hear a segment on the news showing what she said about American Idol. I have to say that I'm somewhat in agreement with her, the judges are totally cruel to those who are trying to be a contestant. These contestants (most) are trying with all their hearts to do something they always wanted to do, and while they don't have the skill to become a preformer, it's not necessary to make them feel like dirt because they don't measure up. When the people watching enjoy laughing at somebody elses misfortune, and making fun of somebody because of their weight (like Simon did) that says something totally bad about our society and how we treat others. Pure and simple: it's disrespectful to others. People wonder why there isn't any respect and tolerance today, it's shows like these that promote it. I only watched American Idol once, and after seeing how that Simon and all treat people, I have never watched again. If I could vote on it, I'd vote that show off the air!

I have never been a Rosie fan. I think she is obnoxious, loud and rude. She would fit right in with Simon... on Idol. She seems to slam others easily like Trump and one of the judges is probably intoxicated. Like she can talk-- is she perfect?? Give me the choice- Oprah or Rosie-- Oprah would win 100% of the time. I do not watch The View anymore at all because Rosie is on it now. She makes me sick! I'm so suprised that they even put her on it.

Rosie o`donne seemed like she will do anything to get attention such as the dispute between her and doneel trump.

probably completely true. I think that the judges do go too far sometimes, especially when they make fun of someone's physical appearance (not style and attitude, that can be pretty funn). But when they made fun of the one guy because of his eyes "you look like one of the creatures that lives in the jungle with the massive eyes", and then his friend that was rather large, that was a little overboard. The guy couldn't help his eyes looked that way, and simon should not have made fun of him for it. Overall though, yes I love the show and watch it faithfully. I also like Rosie but haven't watched her since her show ended.

is it because her light of being popular to unpopular is coming near? if my memory serves me right the last person she hd an encounter with ws donald trump, who owns the apprentice. which is a popular relity show.. now she's into american idol? can you see the trend? she's into the famous shows

Uh hello people, can you not see what she's doing? She gets into with Donald Trump= Publicity for both of them! She criticizes American Idol= attention for her and American Idol. Wake up, Rosie hasn't accomplished much in the last couple of years and she's probably hurting financially. So what better way to get her name back in the mainstream than to take shots at two very high profile objects. Does anyone remember her taking shots at Tom Selleck a couple of years ago for being a supporter of the NRA? Anyone also remember her losing her spokesperson role for Kmart over that?
