Iggy Pop on American Idol: Was It a Sign of the Apocalypse?

• Now I'd like to see a sequel to "Coffee And Cigarettes" in which Tom Waits asks him, "Now what the f**k was THAT??"

• And I thought American Idol itself was a sign of the apocalypse?  That isn't so? Iggy Pop, was for me, the only reason to even turn on this homogeneous pile of gunk.   I thought it was funny that people were complaining that he wasn't wearing a shirt...when my ideal Iggy performance would have been him exposing himself, rolling around in broken glass, which he would then put in his mouth and spit out at J.Lo or Steven Tyler, whomever is closest...and then spontaneously make out with J. Lo or Steven Tyler, whomever is closest.  Of course, he'd be singing "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell" that during it too!  Maybe he could dedicate it to J. Lo or Steven Tyler, whoever is closest or maybe to Ryan Seacrest.   I like how J.Lo was trying to hold back her "yucky" face the whole time.  Yeah, exposure to real music can be a rough gig. :)   It's probably a mind blower.You can count on American Idol to make even Iggy Pop homogeneous.  Notice he didn't get to jump into the crowd or push anyone, even playfully, it isn't American Idol's way.  I am still confused to why he was even on there...are they desperate enough to try to get my vote (or likeminded others) to watch this garbage heap?   Which I did for one performance and still would if they made Iggy a judge.  I have of whole list of people I would watch American Idol for if they were to become judges...then let them judge neofolk and noise bands.  Or maybe hardcore jazz bands.   Oh, I can dream my non-homogeneous dreams until digital recording and autotuning destroys the little bit of music out there that is good.  I love Iggy Pop, BTW.   I don't care if he croons "Livin' on the Edge of the Night" in a suit or jumps around to "Dirt" or "Loose" without any clothes on.   He's a legend.  I did let out a little "ugh" because of it though, since I think American Idol is a pox on humanity. :) 

• am i the only one thats seen that stupid video iggy pop shot at churchills with sum 41... iggy pop sold out a long time ago... still he is getting payed so fuck yall

• FERNANDO! YOU AND ADAM WOULD'VE BEEN A SUPERB COMBINATION WITH THE MAIN STOOGE... COME ON! IT'S IGGY... FUCK AMERICAN IDOL!!

• I don't understand this comment. Explain ...

• Iggy! Iggy! Iggy!

• Adam Zimmon.. formerly of SPAM FUCKING ALL STARS ON GUITAR!!! WOW!!!

• It's singing on tv, there are bigger things to worry about. But pretty surreal scene makes this video a trip. Iggy looks pretty damn ripped and he's showing the young punks what a 'performance' means.

• am i the only one that thinks it's hilarious that the times is playing scene police as if they support only "credible artist".... what's the difference between the intention of American Idol & the Times when comes to pushing art/entertainment? Look who's calling the kettle black hehehe

• I'm surprised American Idol would even allow this turkey on their show. The mediocre talent is indicative by the teeny boppers in the audience. What do they know other than long hair and a jumping jack? I guess you're one of them too.

• Probably a hefty one. Fox makes beaucoup bucks on advertising from that show.

• Oh yeah, this Idol gig sucked. The crowd sucked. The whole scene sucked. And Iggy kinda sucked because of it all. But I've seen Mr. Stooge in concert sorta recently. And he was awesome like the second coming of Satan. So ... Just a paycheck?

• I must admit that I was shocked to see Iggy performing on such a low-life show, "American Idle." But, America loves really shitty music as evidenced by the popularity of this show. Basically, I joined the audience of losers to watch this spectacle. I've seen Iggy on three separate occasions. Trust me, this light little song is not representative of his talent. But, not everyone likes this type of music. So, if you don't, go fuck yourself.

• I could have done without watching that performance forever....
