I didn't mean for this to turn into a throwdown but... I just think it's nothing but mtv's Say what kariokie all over again. Horrible costumes & hair, contestants who wouldn't know good singing if it smacked them across the face! It's laughable! The fact that so many people waste time & money to VOTE for strangers they'll never see... Bring it on!!!

I think 30 million people disagree with you. The fact that you don't like it doesn't mean it's the worst thing to happen to TV.

Remote controls exist for a reason

Alright if you want to be one of the mindless peons who base their life on it. Nothing to do w/ the fact that I don't like it-I'm not the only one! I know TONS of people who not only don't watch but can't stand it!!! Not one of my "real life" friends watch it. If you want to be told what to like by all means. Guess you'd consider Paris Hilton your hero too? Whatever...

13 going on 30 was a movie with an interesting concept...

Salemskeeper said

Comparing AI to that movie makes no sense. Are you comparing contestants to being 13 trapped in 30 yr. olds' body? That's the only thing I can think of. You haven't given me any valid points except to say 30 mil people watch it. That's it. What about the lack of talent? The terrible off-key performances with costumes that make you cringe? Or do you wanna look at Paula loving all the contestants? Simon is the only good thing about that show-he's downright mean. Ryan S is just filler, he could be cut completely & no one would notice. And before you say I wouldn't know b/c I've never watched the show, I have tried to watch a whole episode. Like nails on a chalkboard! Even reading through these blogs fans are hating this season already. Give it up, unless you're ready to make a real arguement. Then I'll listen...

Well the 13 going on 30 was a joke I think only I got.. lol

I just don't think that basing a general conclusion on your personal opinion makes any sense.

You have to take Idol for what it's worth. It's a show where "nobodies" with talent compete with one another to be the one who ends up making their dreams come true. It's fun, genuine, and somewhat redeeming entertainment a lot of people obviously enjoy.

If it's not your cup of tea, you are entitled to change the channel. Don't knock a show just because you don't like it. I don't like Lost but I'm not stupid enough to say that it's the worst show on TV (that title indisputably belongs to Moment of Truth).

I think American Idol is rigged and a waste of time. Although it is funny to watch in the beginning and that's about the best part.

13 going on 30?

Aug252006_893_lg

Hey, you wrote it! lol

I'm sorry, but until VH1's Celebreality concept is gone, nothing can be considered worse.

For me, the worst thing to happen- at least recently- to American TV is Moment of Truth

Oct52007_957_lg

That too Mr. Strong

I almost won. Oh well. Someday we'll see how evil AI is.
