Fixing American Idol

[Leummoht]

Auto-tune for the win!!!

[Minnnie1206]

OUCH

[26yearstoorion]

They ignore great talent for a 'marketable' face or teenie bopper profits... :-(

[yuenpit]

Jessica thank u for singing Charice song.Hope one day Jimmy Kimmel will invite Charice to perform.

Actually the X Factor was produced and created before American idol by Simon. He decided to do an american version of the show and that's how american idol was created.

[liveasong4]

American Idol is the only show that can produce real superstars; Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry & more! The Voice is a flop and we'll see about X Factor later.

[CandyYum96]

@liveasong4 all the people you named were produced at least 4 years ago. I'm thinking idol has run it's course. The only recent 'star' is Adam Lambert, and even he's still not a 'superstar'

[cassindia1987]

I know why the show is losing viewers. Every year American Idol starts to be more about the sob story, and less about the talent. I have noticed that everyone that gets picked to go to Hollywood has some sad past. We all have trials and tribulations, and I for one would not want to air mine on television for hundreds of millions of people to see.

Jessica is my neighbor....

[Si11yShaman]

It really was her destiny... to be auto tuned :)

[LivTheLife]

wait they said yes?

[Frobama721]

Actually I did only tune in to see if Steven was alive.

[leeph]

How do they know the ages of the viewers??

[augustrunsred]

The Voice > X Factor > American Idol.

[xoxojollyy]

I love Steven Tyler. <3

[gotjesus13]

simon and kara left.. so i stopped..

[tanya07ism]

i jsut watch the bad ones and laugh and then toune out when all that audience is done.

[TheOfficialiKON]

Pop Idol is UK X Factor, American Idol is a US Pop Idol.. American Idol did rip off X Factor.

[gilmoreguy]

@TheOfficialiKON Not sure how you figure Idol ripped off X Factor seeing as how Idol has been around FAR longer than X Factor.

-Pop Idol is a British television series which debuted on ITV on 6 October 2001.

-American Idol began airing on Fox on June 11, 2002 as part of the international Idol franchise.

-The UK X Factor first series was September 9, 2004. The American X Factor started in September 2011.

[B11man15]

lmao

[Ainzho]

lol at the end, I hate autotune. That's why T-Pain sucks, guy use 20% of his voice and the other 80% is autotune

[LikeABoss1231]

i miss simon

[SimeyPawlerxo]

HA! American idol sucks!!

[YOUROCK80S]

wtf ..is this shit still on ?

[heyitsmejason1]

idol suks its all staged and scripted bullshit

[tasha489]

The same thing happened in the UK ...Simon Cowells X Factor shut down and took over Idol...it's an improvement though in hindsight

[omri558]

0:37 1:16

[xhezeii]

Yeah eh es

[Radden17]

the xfactor is more like the original american idol then american idol is...

[popups46okay]

Who watches this show nowadays? I think the highest rated season of this show was Carrie Underwood's season. After that, it was all crap.

[DrAznmuff]

they really said "yes?!?"

[ahmed1717]

@DrAznmuff Yeah they probably said yes, but it was for another performer and they just edited it to make it look otherwise.

[ashleytisdalesilver7]

Press 3 to hear Jimmy croak...

[thedelta445]

F:ing stupid

[DickShat]

xfactor is way better

[pdmmdk]

It doesn't sound better

[assemblyguy]

The only fix for American Idol is to cancel American Idol.

[thafringe]

LOL good job!

[assemblyguy]

The reason why it slipped is the same reason I stopped watching after Ellen Joined, and finally Simon Left.. It simply sucks bad. Nothing about the show is entertaining anymore. Steven Jumped the shark as much as Joe Perry Jumped when he performed at the Superbowl and had Britney Spears attempting to sing. And J-Lo is really for the most part an arrogant annoying has been who really only appeals to adolescent boys and people who enjoy overly repetitive sounds. As for X factor - not really

[RarestName]

LOL

[M076n7]

Thanks to X factor .

[firzennet]

Probably cause of X factor?

[monkeygotme2425]
