Well another season of the biggest show in America is under way, but do you switch off, or stay glued to your seats?
Let's face it, Idol is a reality show & a huge one at that. Personnally I love it.
The auditions are the best bit by a mile, lets be honest, the majority of them can't sing a note, but REALLY believe they can. Just the looks on their faces when they get turned down, so funny. Simon just tears 'em to shreds, a lot of people say cruelly, but some of them do need a serious reality check. Paula, well, she sits on the fence so much she must have splinters in her....... lol
Normally it's airs here on a Thursday night, so no reveals! Is it me or is the standard so far really below par. What gets me is that they have a once in a lifetime opportunity, & they blow it by singing, really lame songs which never suit their voices. Maybe group 3 will be better
Over here Idol was dropped in favour of the X Factor, headed again by Cowell. Same concept, but 4 categories, under 25 girls, under 25 boys, groups & the over 25's. The four judges have a catagory each, & choose the songs etc. Works really well. Leona Lewis so far it's biggest star, but that was really a given.
Britain/America's Got Talent - Again headed by Simon Cowell here in the UK. Love the show, & the weird acts they have on them from the superb to the banal.
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - Must see TV for us over this side of the pond. Seeing 'celebrities' chucked into the jungle & made to eat all kinds of animal parts, bugs etc. We're a sick nation.
Big Brother - Hate it with a passion. Was great the first 5 - 6 seasons, then has tailed off as the producers have tried to put totally insane people in the house. Just don't watch it anymore.
So what do you guys reckon? Turn off or turn on?
