American Idol is barely about the singing anymore.
Bringing in Randy Jackson’s life story- and his old football coach? Then going on and saying the state’s flower and animal? Come on and just get the auditions going. The people who were passed through with a golden ticket deserved it- they were mediocre and average, which is good because American Idol is a mediocre show. And the first couple seasons, the goofy auditions that were to be funny and give judges a laugh were cute, amusing. But now? They’re annoying, attention-hungry attempts to throw their faces on the TV for a couple of seconds.
That fifteen year old, however blew my mind. I had no idea that they lowered the age requirement, but wow he has a good voice. The only audition that stood out, really. But I think that if an older man sang the same way, same song, I wouldn’t be saying this. His talent at such a young age is astounding- especially since it’s not autotuned or edited.
Needless to say, it was a relatively boring, unmotivational, uncaptivating American Idol audition episode.
But let’s see what the season brings. |
