American Idol:The Gong Show minus the gong.
I think it just got boring.
Bunch of people show and sing bad, looked shocked when they get kicked off.
I liked acceptable t.v.’s kitten calendar much better.
I heard Ellen does not know much about music - not qualified to be a judge.
HOGWASH! Ellen being gay hasn’t hurt the ratings of her show...and her audience is straight women.
THE SHOW IS BECOMING TIRESOME, SIMPLE.
Next season, NO ONE will watch it because the real star of the show is gone: SIMON COWELL.
I’ve actually never seen an entire episode, just bits and pieces while channel surfing.
Is the show really as bad as it looks? And what music background does Ellen have? Aren’t the judges suppose to be in the music business?
I, for one, will never watch anything that knowingly showcases a faggot. Then again, I don’t have tv so it’s a moot point.
Defund the Left:
Turn off the TV.
Oh right. It can’t possibly be because she’s a no-talent yahoo.
Frankly, it’s just nonsense to say that Ellen had anything to do with the audience drop. Like every other show in tv history, there comes a time when the show itself peaks and then declines; people just stop watching. If I had to pinpoint the ‘peak,’ I’d say it was the year Carrie Underwood won. None of the winners since has had quite the same sense of inevitability of winning, or star power. It’s hard to keep what is basically a talent search show ‘fresh.’ With Simon leaving next year, I’d say it will be American Idol’s last.
As to Ellen: Friends and I were recently discussing Ellen’s changes over the years - from coming out, to being an ‘in your face’ lesbian, to seemingly becoming more comfortable with who/what she is. As she’s had less need to shove it in everyone’s face, she’s become funny again.
What stupid point. This point assumes the same audience that watches Degenerate's talk show are the same ones watching Idol.
American Idol has been one of the few shows that could considered family oriented and one that didn't alienate those with religious beliefs.
There is no doubt replacing Paula Abdul with someone utterly unqualified for what appeared to be politically-correct purposes divided Idol fans and cost the show viewers. The same is true about bring equally unqualified and flaming homosexual Adam Lambert as a mentor or allowing Lady Gaga to appear half naked on the program.
Hollywood can't help but corrupt shows families and decent people can watch with sleaze and perversion. I have little doubt that did impact the ratings.
I predict Glee's ratings will be lower next year than this year if it keeps promoting homosexuality.
“Idol” was getting old. It lost it’s appeal.
Say what you want, but Paula was hot, Ellen, not ...
Ellen is gay?
