Seems like it has been a few yers since we had American Idol thread.
This might be a chance to commiserate how bad this show has gotten.
It just wasn’t the same after Simon left.
One of my favorite parts if the show was the bad and weird singers. Thing are gone as is the odd charm of the show.
The absolute favorite was Spain's Got Talent, when a soprano opera singer cut loose with "Highway from Hell'.
We have it on right now.i never watch, but my wife loves it. Personally, I can’t stand it. I’m here on FR or playing 3D Mahjong on my tablet. Or counting the cat’s whiskers.
I miss William Hung.
Counting whiskers would be better.
I had no idea this was still on the air.
The story of my life. There is almost nothing on tv worth watching.
I have never watched the show before, but a local girl named Drew Ryn from Chino Valley, AZ is doing well.
The girl that just sang was by far the best one so far tonight. And she wasn’t great.
We watch farm and ranch videos on YouTube. Network TV is mostly just bad
>There is almost nothing on tv worth watching.
Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune. Maybe Amazing Race.
Dont get me dtarted...in winter we try and watch things we have heard are good. Made it thru “1923”...but it was ao unrealistic. Made it thru Landman...mostly ok except language and a calamity at every oil site. Tried Lioness...they whusper so much, but will go back. Currently yrying to get thru 1883”...it is a slog. No, have not watched Yellowstone yet...maybe???
The contestant with the BIGGEST SOB STORY wins. Haven’t watched that show since forever.
Peoples Court
Raymond: Fart.
Charlie: [Trying unsuccessfully to open the door] How can you stand that?
Raymond: I don’t mind it.
Charlie: How can you stand it?
Raymond: Ten minutes to Wapner. We’re definitely locked in this box with no TV.
Some girl just BUTCHERED a Blondie song. I mean really really really bad……
Without Simon chopping everybody down it’s just not any fun.
Ain’t that the truth…
The judges are just personalities and cheerleaders now. They rarely offer an criticism, constructive or otherwise. That is biggest downfall of the show.
