I believe that this will be the last season for Idol.
If not this one, the next one for sure.

I think the first couple seasons brought some real talent to the finals of the show, but now I'm just seeing mostly no talent idiots making it to the end purely on hype. It's become complete horseshit, and needs to DIE.

sorry ... did you just say its *becoming* complete horse shit?!

its a reality show where they tour the country amidst brilliant publicity and hype, then they let every person audition who will bother to line up, and the winners are chosen by teenagers with their first mobile phone .....

When was it NOT horse shit?!

it may be horse shit, but its absolute marketing genius and the more people claim to hate it, the more addicts the show creates with every new season ...

a show can't fail when its based on building, crushing and fulfilling people's dreams in front of millions of people

for the first time in history a TV show isn't relying on advertising to make its money and as a result its expanding like wild fire.

Sorry to break it to you, but Survivor already hit season 11 and it doesn't even make the contestents that famous ... never underestimate the power of the wannabe LOL we're stuck with it for at LEAST a few more years.

Do you guys get X-factor?
Just started here ... another simon cowell show, same format but with slight variation ... no age limit, groups and solo can enter, each judge is a mentor to a 'team'. lame as hell, and I'm already addicted
