Not that they stink, but its just not GREAT as it has been in the past. Plus Nikki and Mariah, uck. They make me crazy. I can't watch them anymore.

I knew when Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler stepped away, that show could go no where but down. Not only were they professional, giving great critiques (good or bad but given in a professional manner), they were enjoyable to watch and listen to. Those singers were blessed to have them encourage and direct them. I admit, I haven't watched this season at all...and by listening to you and Mikki I'm glad I trusted my instincts. As for SMASH--I LOVE IT. Now that was my dream. To grow up and be on Broadway, singing and dancing. Not only is the story line great but we get entertained by dancers and singers doing a show. I love they way they are practicing and it suddenly becomes the true performace with costumes and scenery. It's a great show!!! <br />For those of you who do watch AI this year, Rick gave sound advice...keep your eyes and ears on the singers.

Just keep your eyes and ears on the singers. The judges are just distractions unless they are giving critiques. They have to spice it up. I have watched The Voice a few times. It's pretty good.

The talent wasn't as good, and we didn't care much for the new judge who took his place...can't even remember his/her name. But we did watch occasionally. Until this year. Nikki and Mariah spoil it for everyone, especially for Nikki. Some of the comments she makes are really disgusting. She told one kid she wanted to have his baby...he was about 17 years old. Her comments are the same as her outfits, outlandish,ridiculous, and mostly not even pertinent to singing.<br /><br />I agree also about Mariah. She is not effective as a judge at all, and yes, her hand movements drive me crazy. Keith can stay!<br /><br />We don't watch the other musical shows. I sang professionally for many years, and the music of today is just not to my liking at all...too much screaming that is supposed to be "good vocals" but is really...just screaming.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371767512022913349noreply@blogger.com
