I've seen clips from those types of shows.  That's about it.  I might've even posted one here---some young chick with a Janis Joplinesque sound.  Or maybe it was someone else who posted it.  She was good...but where is she now?
 
Then there was that Susan Boyle who won some British version of some talent show.  That clip was pretty big some years back.  Seems she's one of the few who went on to fame and fortune.  Hell, even I remember her name.

I absolutely cannot stand it!! The months of promos on ABC for this reboot nonsense. Now ABC calls themselves "America's Network" and patting themselves on the back for it's ratings. Shut up and go away..and take that wussboy Ryan Seacreast with you!

When this was announced, I just simply thought "do we really, really need this again." ABC had to come up with some slop to compete with The Voice, I think theres another singing show on Fox. Just more unoriginal programming. 

Then the next day..more silliness with this show, the local ABC news here in Philly takes 5-10 minutes and breaks the show down with "American Idol 'expert'" runner up has been from season 1. F'ing painful!

American Idol used to be the most-watched show in America in its first 5-6 seasons. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have gone on to amazing stardom. But as Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and eventually Randy Jackson retired from judging, the show turned to s--t and has always been that way. Katy Perry...gag me with a spoon! But if we didn't have American Idol we would have yet *another* season of Dancing with the Stars. I'm getting sick of that one too.
At least The Good Doctor is still airing on Mondays. My mother is a huge fan of ABC's Grey's Anatomy along with Scandal, on Thursdays. The Middle and Modern Family are also favorites in the household, but The Middle is ending its 9-year run this May.
Back after a long absence...still hating those commercials. Go away Limu Emu and Doug!

Okay... an "Emotional Support Animal." Uhhhhhh ... what the HELL? This is a thing now? That is the dumbest damn thing I've ever heard. So these mongrels have as much freedom as, I don't know, Service dogs? What is this dopey millennial BS?


That is one nasty dog! In his/her defense it's probably nervous. But good God why put a dog through this trauma? When I first heard about the "emotional support peacock not being able to go on the plane" I thought it was a joke by Arby's little did I know via The Weather Channel some dips*** tried to take a real live peacock on a plane as a "emotional support animal".
She was told there was no way the peacock could be in the cabin but tried to bring it on anyway. Just another run of the mill "Attention Ho".Angry I have no interest in the singing competition or any type of awards shows.

United has suspended all pet oriented transportation after...

A:  A pet died after being put in an overhead compartment.
B: Another dog was sent to the wrong destination, JAPAN!!

That dog survived but it just shows me how f*cked up the airline industry is.

OMG! you got me laughing my ass off. Almost sprayed water from my mouth on my computer from laughing. That scat doggy is probably the most talented. I agree with the others that A.I. is nothing without the really early rounds of the really hysterical bad acts, Simon, Randy etc. Katy Perry? She has gone total plumper lesbo! The only thing she had going for her was when she whored it up with her long hair, micro short miniskirts, showing plenty of toned long leg. Her voice and her music could scare flies off of fresh sh*t! Roar, Fireworks and even California Girls sound like a retarded girl got to crooning on the short bus on the way to special ed school. I say the "new butch Katy Perry" and Flo should get it on. They are perfect for each other. ABC goofed bringing back this stinker American Idol. However, it has the potential to hang around for generations like the retarded Home Video show. I guess cheap to produce and a time gobbler. The current incarnation of the bad American Idol would do better on the Gay Network NBC. Katy Perry

I hate her so-called music but back in the day she was a hot piece of ass to look at. She should grow her hair back, exercise and show some skin. The butch look will make her a has been before her time!
I approve this message.

thing is the show has become a parody of its self with the cheesy pre-taped pieces usually of a sob story with one of the contestants going on about being in a single parent family, growing up poor, being a single mother, being gay or lesbian, etc etc etc and this is "their only chance to make something of themselves". Really? You're saying without American Idol you'd be dead of starvation in the gutter? You have no other talents or means to make a living like 99.99% of the rest of the worlds population?
And the oft-mentioned "I've been singing my whole life. My friends and family always tell me how talented I am..."  Confused

I was subject to that Brady Bunch nonsense the other night. And the ratings are still not as great as they used to be. Hopefully this is the only revival season and then it will go in the garbage, for good.
