General: The sad truth about NZ Idol

Submitted by Anton Styles on 1 October, 2006 - 12:26am.

After two hours of meticulous sorting through a bargain bin in The Warehouse, South Dunedin, we found this. I sacrificed a sizeable portion of my hard-earned money for this.

Id pay more for a smelly jandal!

All I Ask For Is $0.48

Come on.

I bought the "Play it Strange" CD for 49 cents at The Warehouse. There were 100s of CDs (full length, not just albums) on sale for 49c that day.

It's been that price for months. My uncle's friend bought some months ago.
There are still stacks in most Warehouse's for that price.

What's happened to Rosita? The last time I saw her on TV she was in that Spelling Bee Show on TV1. It's such a waste because she has a good voice and yet she's not being promoted by her record company. If Rosita had won in Australia or the USA  she would have a successful music career. In NZ winning NZ Idol doesn't mean anything as far as having a singing career goes. I don't know why we even bother having NZ Idol, their 1st single sells well but that's it. This years Idol Show has been a disaster with the wrong contestants being eliminated each week.

Yes... and you can blame the NZ public for that. Man we're a strange country. We support the underdog, and give untold sympathy to people who don't really need it.

I reckon, if there is an NZ Idol next year (hypothetically alright?!) then everyone should have the same story. Lost someone close in a tragic accident. Has lived a hard life. Has no family in NZ. etc etc etc... that way we can feel sorry for the lot of them and at least it will be fair

This comes up every time a CD of an Idol is seen sold off cheap! So are CD's of other singers after a certain time on the shelves! Even the most well-known singer end up in the reduced bin eventually!

If you lot bought her SINGLE for $25, you were ripped off.

What were you doing in the bargain bin for two hours anyway?

If it doesn't kill you, you've failed.

I said a long long time ago that Rosita shouldn't win because she is NOT MARKETABLE. Look at this - reduced to .48c in the bargain bin.

Disgrace.

Hahaha if I was Rosita I'd be taking the Voters of NZ Idol to court. They got her to the top and let her fall to the bottom.

People are difficult to govern because they have t

How much did you pay for her CD last year? The typical $24.99? That's why I don't buy CDs anymore. Such a waste of money.
