AMAZING!!! A MUST-SEE!!!!, April 7 2004
This review is from: American Idol: The Search for a Superstar (DVD)
I have enjoyed it so far. Alot of people thought it was cheap(As in not good),but I payed $1.75 for mine BRAND NEW from Amazon,so how much should one expect from a brand new DVD that cheap??. It has some AWESOME footage,not only of the show,but it also takes you behind the scenes. It shows you the Cast in the 6 million dollar mansion they got to stay in.
It also shows some of the worst auditions (For example,this one guy came in wearing NOTHING but his underwear and sung a song about a man in his underwear....Then there's this other guy who didn't know the words to the song HE wrote himself,so he had to read them off a piece of paper),and 2 ladies who didn't want to take no for an answer. There's also footage of Kelly's Audition in Dallas,Texas..including her switching places with judge Randy Jackson.
In addition,it shows the judge narrowing it down from 45 hopefulls to the 30 who would be seen on the premiere. Of course,it also has footage from EACH show. It has footage of the contestants singing together(They sung "That's What Friends Are For","California Dreamin",and "Joy To The World"),and singing individually.
This is a MUST-SEE for anyone who missed the first season,when Kelly won,or who just want to see some of the BEST backstage footage EVER. You'll laugh,you'll cry,and best of all-you'll get to know our American Idol-Kelly Clarkson.

American Idol - Season 1 only!!!, April 30 2004
By A Customer
Don't be fooled by the cast list. When I ordered the video, the cast listed included contestant names from Season 1 & Season 2 - now Season 3 (Amy Adams, Matt Rogers, etc) names are on the list. IT'S NOT TRUE!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT SEASON ONE ONLY!!!!!!
If you want to see fine moments from the first season, the tape is okay, but could have been better. I missed Season one and it was a good summary for me (the DVD has "extras", but again, it could have been better). I ordered both. I kept the DVD and returned the Video.
If you're looking for Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard, you will be disappointed!
If you want Kelly and Justin, Tamyra and Christina, you'll be , I wouldn't say satisfied (it's the entire season wrapped into one hour), but it's a good overall summary of the Top 10.
