American Idol 2010: Sucks!

American idolMaybe it's just me.

I think American Idol 2010 absolutely sucks!

I find myself, given the shallowness of the American Idol talent pool, now recording each show, rather than watching it live, simply because I find myself fast-forwarding past singer after singer.

I blame the American Idol judges for this, too.

Simon rejected half of these talentless clowns, yet they found their way into the top 24!?!

Honestly, I am hard-pressed to find more than 2 contestants that can actually sing and are truly American Idol material!

Simon Cowell is, as always, genius for cutting and running as far away from American Idol as he can, instead focusing on his X Factor show he is bringing to America.

Hopefully, he'll bring some talent with him, too, as I really do think that American Idol 2010 sucks!

I totally agree with you. I have been doing the same thing. The judges are way too negative this year. I put the majority of the show's struggles this year on the judges. Randy is too negative, Ellen contributes nothing, Kara is just Kara and Simon is checked out. I never thought I would say this...but I think I miss Paula.

I agree with you 100%!!!

American Idol truly sucks this year!!! People cannot compare this season to previous seasons because there is no real talent. There is no one in the mix that has my jaw dropping saying "WOW that was good". I don't see the next Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Carrie Underwood or Ruben Studdard. Where is the good talent? The judges go through weeks and weeks of auditions and still end up with people who are average singers. There are about 3-4 people who are really exceptional singers. The judges are constantly telling the contestants to make the song unique and stand out, but when they try something different it's not enough or they do too much. In my opinion they don't have the best talent on here this season and this should be the last season!

The judges are irritating
written by Judges, March 04, 2010
The judges are contradicting with the statements that they do make. Nothing has been constructive for the contestants. Their un-adult behavior is making the whole point of american idol useless.

Its rude to constantly harp on something that has already been said. And it's disgusting to watch older adults behave they way they do.

BTW kara looked like a flying jellyfish on Tues. I guess some of her weave was taken out or something weird did with her hair.

I couldn't agree more

"The judges are contradicting with the statements that they do make. Nothing has been constructive for the contestants. Their un-adult behavior is making the whole point of american idol useless."

I like how Ellen liked everyone, now, just to change it up and be less predictable, is borrowing from the so-called "dog" and calling every performance "pitchy."

She might know women, but she doesn't have a clue about singer competitions.

One loves the sone, one hatred it; one thought they need to see a more relevant song, another judge thought it was "forced" or "pushed" or "honest" or "insert-stupid-American-Idol-judge-comment-here."

Simon must be interanlly laughing...all the way to the bank.

They need end this season EARLY!
written by Jeffrey Allender, March 09, 2010
I dont know what is up with AI this season either. Its so depressing and boring this season. The judges don't seem to like ANYONE they picked this season. Every song is "just not good" Why did they pick them? I like Ellen, but shes not starting off with a good season. They need to just end the season early and learn from their judging mistakes. I think the judges are burned out. Get rid of them all and hire ALL new judges.

Too Little Talent... Too Many Judges...
written by Jaimes, March 13, 2010
I can agree with most of what has been said about this seasons less than compelling line up of talent. Unfortunately, the uninspired performances from these singers are ony half the problem. As I see it, the judges are in the hot seat as much as the contestants are this year.

Overall, I feel Simon has taken pitty on this cast of nervouse wanna be's and has been tempering his criticism in an attempt to nurture some amount of much needed confidence among this years contestants. I think Randy is just, you know... "keep'n it real". Then you have Ellen, a comedian who refuses to be funny therfore, rendering her absolutely useless on the panell. As for this Dioguardi person, could someone please remind me who this woman is... and if you run into her... could you ask her to spare us the condesending, queen of the world, God's gift to music routine. Nobody knows who the hell you are sweetie... and I for one would like to know who the hell you think you are.

Ellen and Dioguardi need to figure out that they have to be television broadcasters first, then, judges of a singing contest... Without a connection between themselfs and the viewing audience there words have no legitimacy and they just take up space with their big ears and blow hard opinions.

Who could have guessed that Paula quiting Idol would end up being the -best- career move she ever made?

I Totally Agree

The talent is the worse it has ever been and the kids have major attitude. The dread-lock girl is a copy-cat not original and she and the female version of Adam last season are going to be in the finals.

This years totally sucks
written by 2010 Idol HORROR, May 08, 2010
No a single one of these contestants has any star power or ability to make anything spark. I fast-forward every single time. I don't think I've actually listened to more than 2 songs completely.

Every one of these singers is so-so. The young kid who just got eliminated was the only one with potential for the guys and MommaSocks has the most potential for the gals but still... nothing special.

They are down to 4 contestants and STILL they can't come up with anything special. I do not think these singers will sell records either. What a joke. This year is going to kill Idol.

SHOW IS RIGGED FOR IDIOTS!!
written by jj, May 21, 2010
I AGREE!! SHOW SUCKS!!
The judges are too critical. There are not many talented singers(2-3 maybe) and its a waste of time to vote.
The winner is chosen based on who will sell the most records and make the most money for them. NOT ON TALENT

last year was better-- and even last year the contestants with the most talent lost out to the contestant that was the most bland and boring.
