No Idol threads?

I was at the theater last night, but recorded Idol to watch when I got home. Fast forwarded through everyone but the rocker chick. ${#emotions_dlg.blink}$ (She was great.)

I used to love this show; I hope it gets better. ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$

this is the first season I just do not care about it one bit. Over it. I think the idol is close to its last season.

We saw it last night and I ended up falling asleep through most of it. The only ones we thought were good were Sam, Emily, and Caleb. Jessica was ok for us, with Caleb being the best. DH and I are hoping he makes it to the end.

For the most part, found it to be rather boring.

IMO, the contestants on The Voice were far better than the majority of those on AI.

Caleb, Alex, and Jessica were my favs last night.

Caleb, Alex and Sam were the strongest, but overall this group is pretty bad........

I really think this is the most untalented group (as a whole....there are a few pretty good artists) of singers they've had since the early days.

I can't believe out of all those auditions...these are the best 13 singers they could come up with. I blame the judges.

Why does The Voice get such better singers I wonder? No age restriction? What???

I think The Voice goes out and handpicks their contestants for "auditions".

You will notice, there are not many that do not have a lot of professional experience prior to coming to The Voice-- and there are not any "terrible" singers. No big auditions in cities, where any and all show up.

ETA: just different concepts in the shows, nothing wrong with either. One raw, the other more polished.

Thanks, Marianne. I think you're right. Plus....the Voice really does emphasize the "voice"....as opposed to Idol which is looking for a very marketable "star" who also has the "look".....and certain personality. Plus...their demographic is probably more skewed to 11 year old girls.......which might account for a LOT of who they let go through!
