Yawn!
I occasionally watched when Simon was still on. After he left it went downhill. Them new judges are too nice and want to make even the worst performers beleive they can sing.
Its judges resorted to hyberpole in the extreme
some judges took their time in front of the camera to demontrate just how much that time was about them
its preliminary judging process selected less than stellar
candidates
it went way over the top in over-producing the production numners for the live show, sometimes, overshadowing the singers performance
and, suffered from the fate of all such shows - viewer burn out and turn off from all the hype and hoopla
the show called “The Voice” and the a’capella singing contest show have both offered veiwers more/better talent than idol for two seasons at least
Good! The faster these show disappear for TV the better. As a kid, we didn’t have a television but the family would visit friends who would watch Ted Mack’s Amature Hour and would bring the beer. What a waste when there were good westerns on. I grew to hate the mention of Ted Mack’s name. I can’t describe how poor and lacking in actual talent 90% of the acts were.
Something you might find interesting...
Worst. Season. Ever.
It is ridiculous to pay the freak judges that much money, and the show is stupid
Talk about wasted money!
Whatever happened to hard work, making demos? I admire those soul singers in the 40s and 50s, who went on the chitlin' circuit trying to make a name for themselves. Even rappers used to sell mixtapes out of their trunks.
Kids today have no initiative and no assessment of their real talent level, and can't handle constructive criticism.
