I have watched countless singing competition auditions on TV shows. Now, having judged a talent show, I can tell you, how to get winning results.

I watch a lot of singing competition shows, and feel compelled to write this post. The first thing I have to comment on, is the mediocrity entrants.

This morning, American Idol announced Nicki Minaj as its new judge, joining Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson. I was speechless. Here is a woman who recently refused to listen to doctors and ruined her voice and cancelled her tour. She dresses like a clown and is not really a singer, but a screamer and rapper. Poor Randy Jackson. Isn’t he burned out, yet? [...]

I have been watching American Idol as long as it has been on. I was thrilled at the talent of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. It seems the last three years have been pathetic.

I can’t wait for tonights episode, where I hear that is got heated when the first elimination took place. I’ll be blogging it.

Last year Idol was the worst season of all, this year, was the second worst. I just can’t sit there and watch Randy Jackson use the word Brilliant when someone was just OK. I just cannot do it!! The judges have become cheerleaders for so-so singers,

“The Voice” opened with Cee Lo Green’s and Knarls Barkley’s huge hit, “Crazy”. The four judges sing this together. Christina, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Cee Lo.

Tonight’s American Idol has me cringing. The first three singers were so out of tune. They were SO weak.
