    just sucks that he can leave on his own. i was hoping for some huge ratings slide that would force the show to be cancelled. that ain't happening anytime soon.

    Horrible, horrible show. Except the first 2 weeks with all the bad singers. I watch that every year.
  • The JugglerThe Juggler Posts: 48,632
    i don't even know why people say they enjoy watching the first two weeks. it's the same thing every year. doesn't that get a little old? i mean everyone knows how its going to play out....a few good singers. a weird looking asian dude with no harmony. some other freaks who clearly cannot sing but just want to get on tv or insult that simon guy. then---your token cancer survivor story. or the mom or grandmom with alzhiemers who accompanies her daughter. you know, basically fox exploiting these peoples serious troubles for the sake of hoping you will tune in next week? ;)

    makes me sick.

    I get that this show is wrong on so many levels. I never really thought about it. I just find it funny. I lose complete interest in the good singers.

    I watch AI and find it quite enjoyable. Why do most people on the pit hate this show? Is it because the show stands for basically everything that Pearl Jam is against? I'm thinking yes, but I also think that a lot of people here are closet fans of AI and are too embarrassed to admit it! ;)

    I think most of us can make up our own minds... for me it Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Cowell can't stand any of them... we're talking about a glorified Karaoke contest. Other reasons I don't like the show... Cowell on 60 minutes saying he was more popular than Springsteen, uhhhh, when he can sell out a 2 year world tour, then tell me about his popularity. Clive Davis saying a few years back that the AI singers have more number 1 hits the The Beatles, does he really think we're that stupid that you can compare a collection of singers to one band, who wrote their own music, played their own instruments and are still relevant 40 years after they split up, please. Then just recently Cowell was quoted as saying The Beatles would not win AI, and would have been better without Ringo, well how much more could they have accomplished, really I am sure they wish you were there to guide there careers in the 60's ...I would hope they would never have went onto such a trashy show. It seems to me they people associated with the show bring up Springsteen and The Beatles to try and make the show relevant and their singers relevant, which will never happen.
