StrawberryBlond 14,880 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Wow, that's even lower than I could've predicted. I have no idea why this show got renewed in the first place. It got cancelled for a reason. The X Factor US didn't take off because there was already too much competition. The Voice is where it's at with ratings even though its winners don't get anywhere, so to bring American Idol back is just illogical. The whole concept of AI is so outdated as well, even its name was dumped years ago when the rest of the world moved on to The X Factor moniker, yet America continued to keep it. You have to be a soloist (when bands are allowed on basically every other singing show), not all the judges are singers but rather record producers and the judges don't get acts on their "team." It's so unlike every other modern singing show, who on earth would want to go on it? The whole concept of these shows are ancient, people loved them for a while and then they went bust. They all need to be done away with completely or brought back in a few years when interest might be renewed in the next generation. So saying, we're so aware now of how fake and manufactured reality tv is and we'll only become more aware as time goes on that future generations will see right through it and prefer something real. I thought it was so cringey when Katy mentioned recently that there were 2 previous contestants performing at the Oscars (Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson) and therefore, being on the show is a sign that you're going places. They starred in the series years ago, when it was actually popular, no correlation to the modern day reboot that's going down the pan. 2 hours ago, GagaMariaSpears said: The most recent AI winner I can recall is Carrie Underwood I can remember the faces of some, but not their names. I can remember the 2011 winner, Phillip Phillips, only because of his bizarre name! It's shocking how so many of them weren't promoted enough to achieve anything afterwards. All the time and effort goes into putting this show on and yet once it's over, the winner's given next to nothing and is on their own. I don't know who's bankrolling The Voice, any of the worldwide versions. Not one winner has achieved anything. Melanie Martinez had a successful album at least on the US version and Becky Hill got a very brief #1 on a dance feature on the UK version but that's it. And neither of them even won the show. Tells you everything about who the audience genuinely support as opposed to who they're told to support by the marketing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babel 41,493 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Nothing to do with Katy Perry, the show is dead ages ago. It was just a bad decision for her to be involved on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, she’s still making a **** ton of money with it, so I doubt she cares how many people watches it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I gave it a chance and tried to watch the first show this season. It was a huge step down from the show I remember from years ago. In fact, it was embarrassing. The judges act silly and goofy. I don’t think this show is doing Katy any favors. She should get out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 7,132 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It’s because Katy is kinda cringey and The Voice is the next big thing and is more entertaining, interesting, unique etc. Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
