American Idol…
I don’t know about everyone else, but American Idol has been losing it’s sheen lately. My family and I would have watched all the episodes this year, had it been an earlier season. Now it seems that everything I’m seeing on the show I’ve already seen before. Tons of crappy singers make it in to the top (12) contestants, and all of the good people seem the same.
Maybe it’s because the contestants aren’t making up their own songs, and they’re just altering songs that were great when sung by their creators. What I’m seeing isn’t original, but don’t get me wrong, some of them can sing other people’s songs very well. What I’m trying to say is, there isn’t really anything special about any of these people singing songs that somebody else thought up. Then you go on to see that only a couple of the American Idol winners have really gone and made it big. That couple being ‘Kelly Clarkson’ and someone else. But you never really heard from Fantasia again because she’s just, a good singer.
Now, I’m not bashing the show, because I know a lot of people like it, but I definitely think it’s getting a bit old. Much like the old hit reality show Survivor, which I used to watch all the time. Of course neither of the shows are the least bit similar, and you could say “I never watched that stupid show”, but I know a lot of people did. Now the only people still left watching it, are my grandparents and other people who might only be seeing the show for the first time now.
Now, with all of this talk about how boring TV shows have gotten?
Who do you think is going to win American Idol 7?
