I hate American Idol. Yes, it's true, i can't stand it. Here's Why:
1. The contestants don't have talent.
This one I'm sure people are going to complain about, but it's true. This season, from what I've seen, many of the male singers could not stay on pitch. Disgraceful. How on earth am I supposed to look at these people and say "ohhh i wish I could sing like that"???? I can't.
2. Impossible to sit through an entire episode
It is obviously scripted. We know it, they know it, everyone knows it. How can REALITY TV be scripted? that doesn't make any sense. Also, I get sick of hearing Paula, Simon, and the other two bickering.
Bottom line: Boring, predictable, and just awful.
3. They could have better programming instead of American Idol.
Yes, yes they could. I would rather stick hot needles in my eyes than watch another episode of that garbage. They could replace it with shows that are actually worth watching!! Lie To Me, Fringe, and Bones are all great shows, Dollhouse was good too. Why don't you sign on a few more and let Idol kick the bucket.
4. They didn't cure cancer
Well, not cancer per se, but they don't contribute to society. Mediocre singing skills doesn't make them a hero or anything close to it. Maybe there should be a reality show about the race against cancer between the major pharmaceutical companies. At least then something good is coming out of it, and the loonies who think Adam or Kris is their savior can stalk someone worth stalking.
So basically, if you don't watch it, don't bother watching, if you do watch, you need a new hobby, and seriously, give us better TV!
