American Idol is unwatchable this year...

No hot guys and way too many girls, very sad.

It was ever watchable?

THIS year?

They voted out the back flipping Cameron Whitcomb, he was the only thing that made that show the least bit interesting.

I have been recording it and watching the performances that interest me, it takes me about a half hour to watch a two hour show.

I’m tired of all the country singers. Country is my least favorite genre and it just dominates all these singing shows now. I miss the old days.

I thought it got cancelled years ago.

Is this crap still on??

Our only hope now is Noah Thompson, the black guy is also an acceptable choice.

It did and then another network picked it up.

It has been exactly 20 years since this great show started, thank you ABC for bringing it back!

The only American Idol I watch is Ryan, OP.

Katy Perry must be pissed:

Gaga is still one of the biggest stars on the planet in both music and film.

Taylor is the biggest pop star on the planet.

Rihanna is a billionaire.

Katy is stranded on a dying talent show.

There is still hope this year, Noah Thompson is still there.

I saw bits & pieces the year Kelly Clarkson won. And only because a neighbor watched it. That was BARELY watchable. So I can only imagine how bad it is now. It should've been canceled at least a decade ago.

The last time the show produced a contestant that had success after they were on the show was back in 2009 with Adam Lambert - and even his success was just so-so.

Not sure why people still go on this show thinking it will make them a star. Those days are over.

You still watch that tired shit?

AI is great as long as there are hot, young guys in the finals, that is what is lacking this year.

Making tens of millions each year as a touring front man for queen is hardly “so so “ success.

by Anonymousreply 19May 16, 2022 2:00 AM

I like the show until the live shows, when the singers are forced into theme genres, like Disney songs.

Because Canada is part of NORTH AMERICA.

R24, They always have cycled through the female hosts. Only Blake And Adam until he was let go for pissing off the nbc heads are the only ones who have been on all the seasons.

I’m sure J hud wants back on but they don’t want her

by Anonymousreply 22May 16, 2022 3:00 AM

I only voted for Nicolina. I love her big voice. Noah or Huntergirl (insert eye roll) will win, though. Country wins.

Go Noah, our next American Idol!

If you think Adam makes “tens of millions” a year being a Freddie Mercury impersonator, you’re delusional. He might get $1-2 million per year and the rest is going to the original members of the band.

It’s not called North American Idol. If it were, there would be no need for Canadian Idol.

OP has to be posting from at LEAST 2008, amiright?

by Anonymousreply 28May 16, 2022 5:27 AM

It’s a tough watch, with all the judges swooning over every performance, calling the contestants “superstars.”

by Anonymousreply 29May 16, 2022 8:51 AM

R12 Taylor Swift is NOT the biggest pop star on the planet. Maybe in America, but she’s not that big in the rest of the world.

by Anonymousreply 30May 16, 2022 8:55 AM

I agree. Have a group of people over and then don't turn on the TV. See what they do. They'll freak. But first they'll look down on to their phones, wh. won't be put away yet because AI hasn't started and they might miss a like on Facebook. Announce, "Why don't we have a discussion?" Start taking pics of their expressions. The stark horror. Tears will be shed. Texts will be sent.

No other genre of singer has a chance now. The show needs to be renamed “Cuntry Idol”.

Canadian Idol hasn't been on the air since 2008.

Here is the wording of the residency rule:

2. You must be a legal U.S. resident and be authorized to participate in the entire competition portion of the Program and throughout the term of any post-show agreements provided by Producer or any of the other Program Entities (as defined below), including, but not limited to, a recording agreement. This means that you must either: (i) have the unrestricted right to work in the United States, or (ii) possess the appropriate United States employment authorization that permits you to participate and compete in the Program and engage in any post-show agreements and related employment. Prior to the beginning of the competition portion of the Program, each potential contestant must demonstrate, to Producer’s satisfaction, compliance with this requirement in order to accept an invitation to the competition.

I'm perfectly ok with it as long as it's Noah and not one of the heifers.

by Anonymousreply 35May 16, 2022 2:47 PM

Noah is not super hot, but will do just fine.

Noah is no Taylor Hicks.

ABC just announced the return of American Idol next season and it was it's #1 show this season in total viewers.

The youngest DLers - does DL even attract Gen Zers?! - have no idea how huge this show was in its early, Simon Cowell, years.

by Anonymousreply 39May 17, 2022 4:25 AM

I was born the year Carrie Underwood won AI. I did hear about how huge the show was when Simon Cowell was on but I didn’t understand why he was so mean. He wasn’t very nice or validating. Surprised ABC allowed that.

by Anonymousreply 40May 17, 2022 4:35 AM

Noah has HUGE hands…

Nicolina may have not won, but she gave us the most GAY moment of the season, if not entire series.

Cancel the finals!!!! ALL OF THE FINALISTS ARE WHITE. Just another example of white privilege. We demand that this atrocity be stopped, since it's literal violence.

American Idol was ABCs top ranked show this season.

Noah sings with Melissa Ethridge on the finale.

^You're forgetting Phillip Phillips, who won Idol in '12. He's had commercial success (certainly more than Adam Lambert).
