An over hyped, dumbed down version of Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour.

I’ve been a fan from the beginning. I won’t watch until they get rid of Ellen.
Oh, so you do know what it is but were asking a rhetorical question.
I get it now.
So in other words you have nothing to add to the thread but to further affirm that you are an idiot?
I am sure there are plenty of other threads for you to post on where you can again show your ignorance and worthlessness to FR.

Lighten up Francis. Methinks you’ve watched one too many AIs. Put down the remote and step away from the TV.
There sure are some nasty comments on this thread. Some people got their knickers in a knot over Simon leaving.
BTW, I’m not an American Idol fan. The wife and I like Dancing With The Stars. And I don’t care what all the judgmental jerks on here have to say about it.
Ooooh, that’s cold.
You say you like various shows so I assume you enjoy it when ignorant idiots go on those threads and dump all over them?
I don’t care about AI, I just wonder why did you even click on the thread if you have such disdain for the program?
It doesn’t make you appear superior in any way, it simply makes you look like a petty little fellow.
Now THIS is important news!
Cowell WAS American Idol — he’s gone, so is the show. Oh well..........

The reason I don’t like the AI format, is unlike the Gong Show, AI is mean spirited and requires the embarrassing of obviously “impressionable” youths for its drama. The Gong Show was by design a hoot, and everyone knew it, most of all the contestents. Watching a star blinded 16 year old perform badly and then be humilated by a multi millionaire B-list Hollyweirder is offensive and uncomfortable for me to watch. If this makes me petty - so be it. Funny, you seem to think I have somehow attacked those who watch the show - I did not. I criticized the show. Different strokes- different folks. Sorry my opinion has elicited such a strong reaction from you.
The saddest thing to me is that this 16 year old doesn't have friends or family that love them enough to be honest with them to start with. I would no more let one of my kids who cannot sing go on AI than let them street fight with a gangbanger thug knowing they are going to get their ass beat. That is the real cruelty.
Peter Cetera would be awesome. I love Chicago!
