Sorry, it’s been a while since my last blog post. My real estate world has been so busy that it gives me little time to write. But today I reflected back on a video I posted on The X Factor long before its demise. It’s funny to see that all predictions came true. If only Simon Cowell would have listened to my suggestions, his show may have had the success and longevity of American Idol. Such a waste of a well produced show, I was sorry to see it canceled in the U.S.
This year the singing competition shows were all a complete bore. I cringed while watching American Idol and The Voice. They were both lacking their original magic…so I could only bear watching a few episodes. The judges were not fresh and the contestants did not have the excitement of past singers. Was it just me? Or were you thinking the same thing?
Even the return of Jennifer Lopez to American Idol was clearly disappointing. While she will forever be my favorite judge on any singing competition show, the chemistry was just not there. Did she even like Harry Connick, Jr? JLo even looked slightly bored on several of the shows. It may have just been a quick payday for her or something to boost her new CD. But she should have just had a V8:)
Are singing competition shows on the way out? Probably so. It will be interesting to see just how long American Idol and The Voice will stick around. Maybe we are burning out on these type of shows and need something fresh to watch. Reality TV appears to be strong and not going anywhere anytime soon. But they may need to find better ways to promote singers in a new light. Will America’s Got Talent do it this season? We shall see…
