I posted one innocuous comment about how another show was much better than Idol last night. I am then attacked by jack -booted, rabid Idol fanatics who have no sense of irony or nuance.
Geeez, you guys, lighten up. I loved American Idol two years ago, but the past two years have been awful. It’s time for Idol to fold up its tent. Paula needs rehab, Randy needs a vocabulary lesson, and Simon needs nothing. He is set for life. It’s time to let it go. It is now a self-parody.
Hyperbole is obviously one of your great strengths.
I’m a new”ish” idol watcher, and while I agree with your assessment of the judges, I enjoy hearing the music and rooting for my favorites. Maybe there is a market for new viewers. What do I know, I’m probably out of their demographic, but it’s a show I tivo’d for the first time this season.
