The WORST show in the history of television. At least it's good for laughs because most of the contestants CAN'T sing.
American Idol is absolutely HORRIBLE to the ears.

A stupid show that idiots try out for because their life sucks. The judges are complete dolts who think they know everything and all the "competition winners" always look the same and sound the same. (Their careers last about 2 weeks).

A make-money-fast idea that is dragging on while it can.

A show most people watch for the chance to see people you want to insult get insulted by critics. Some contestents don't deserve to be insulted but 90% of them should be slapped for thinking sing.
Bob: Lets watch American Idol and see idiots try to sing!

1. A show dumbing down America's youth or better yet, everyone who watches it.

2. A show searching for America's new "sensational singing idol." The contestants there have no edge, they are controlled by the stupid American Idol scene and plus, they can't even sing and even if they do have a talent, they would perform shitty songs.

3. The show has great ratings but it's just filled with a bunch of low-life losers seeking money from this terrible piece of sweaty turd they call a show.
SEE OVERRATED
1. This is what happend to George Bush, he watched American Idol too much and look at the result.

2.
