Is Idol Over?
Posted 5/11/2010 2:45:00 PM
A website survey yesterday confirmed what I have been suspecting for months now as I've settled down on my sofa to watch singers be either dismissed or discovered: American Idol just ain't the show it used to be. The show has been conducting it's own online poll to see what viewers thought about this season and it turns out that tampering with the magic formula that made the show such a stunning success has left viewers dismayed. The website poll includes complaints about too many judges, too little talent, boring musical themes and the dismissal of Paula Abdul in favor of Ellen Degeneres. On most of these points, I'd have to agree. I love Ellen, but not on this show! They need to bring back Paula! She's the right judge for the job, whereas Ellen's just a distraction. Plus, now that Simon Cowell is leaving next year to bring his show the X-Factor to the US, what's left for American Idol? I suggest we wrap up this season by not only getting rid of some of the bland talent, but voting off a judge or two before Idol is voted off the airwaves all together! What do you think?

    RIGHT ON!!!! Actually, I stopped watching about two years ago. One reason: Too many commercials! What the heck does Ellen know about judging music! I think only Paula and Randy are legitimate judges. Simon has got an "ear" but I think people agree with him because of his whole persona. Should wrap up shop NOW!
