Idol Judges Mean?? Hardly

What's all this talk about "American Idol" being meaner this year? Simon couldn't be sweeter
considering how the talent challenges his good sense and taste. Paula doesn't have a mean bone in her body, and Randy?
Randy is just trying to ratchet his level of creative criticism to a new level. Let's face it, each new season brings out a new brand of crackpot.
Sure there's some good talent, great talent even, but the level of exhibitionists and delusional performances is certainly on the rise.
These characters need a little talkin' to. Real fans of the show are having a blast. Criticism regarding mean judges and talk of hurting people's feelings
is a product of other network's and station's envy.

You got that right!

It's not the judge's fault that the mentally ill people got a free pass from the sanitarium for a day so they could audition for Idol.

People who want to break into the music business need to grow a backbone. No one in the entertainment industry is going to coddle them. If you suck they are going to tell you.

I Love the Auditions they are the best part. Some of these people can not be real how can they believe they are any good!
Simon is my favorite he can just hammer them back in to place!

Just when is too much just too much?

The essential element of the success of American Idol is typified by the caustic, matter-of-fact rapier wielding Simon Cowell. The only missing prop is the old cliche trap door beneath the contestants feet, but is this critical sadistic component of American Idol and the harsh realities of Show Biz testing the publics tempers and tastes?

With the American Idol debut in 2002, The U.S. was not yet embroiled in a deadly, drawn out war, although the aftershocks of 911 still reverberated in a horrified nation's eyes and ears. Indeed, it's easier to stomach frank, scathing criticism when you're only being punched in the gut by one person at a time. But the success or failure of any form of entertainment is often colored by the events in the world around us. With increasing violence and poverty worldwide, the Publics tolerance of cruelty in entertainment just may be at a nadir. After all, there's only so many beatings one can take at any given time before a genuine sense of threat takes hold, and the tears start to flow.

Is today's violent, shaky global political climate affecting viewer tastes? My feelings are that this must be so. Will compassionate, religious and philosophical themed media regain favor in Hollywood in face of these growing anxieties? If world events remain as unstable they are, that would seem to be inevitable.

It's season 6, you'd think people would have a clue about what they're getting themselves into.
And yet, there's even more nut cases out there. You'd think they'd have some sort of filter routine. Grab a group of people (let's say 5 for an example, shall we?) group em around a piano player and start playing a song. Those who make it past the producers or preliminary judges go on and the others - well don't.

Still, it's a show for some laughs. Simon's the man. His job is simple - be brutally honest. Just after 5 seasons, I don't blame him for being frustrated with the lack of talent. Especially in Seattle.

It's definitely one of my favorite shows out there. Take an awful singer and mix it with the exasperated faces of the judges and you have a gut wrenching laughter moment.

Idol is too fake. We need a REAL talent show on Fox.

People with true mental problems should not be permitted to go beyond the three-step screening process. I blame the producers and screeners of the show for allowing that. By true mental problems, I'm meaning the slightly retarded which have a very obvious showing of their "handicap." I don't have a problem with the likes of that Ian guy (New York). He just had a major attitude, but what I do have a problem with were those two guys, as an example (the one they called monkey boy and the heavy-set one) who obviously had some display of truly being "mentally slow." They should NOT have been allowed to go beyond the pre-screening process to be subjected to ridicule.

David,
Do you honestly believe the show is credible? Come on, I've heard better singers at karaoke bars. Yes, I was sober.

I love the idols and never miss the show. Those kids that get up in front of the judges and bark at the moon know before they even go in there that the judges are going to give them the business. That is what makes the show. The kids who can really sing deserve to go on because I have heard a few how can sing pretty good. The others, they know they can't sing and just do it to get public exposure. It's great and very entertaining. Sing on kids.

Mr. Moss,

Excellent interview tonite with Fox News regarding Heath Ledger and your interview with him before his tragic passing. It was a touching, heartfelt, and bittersweet interview.

What a great and human way to remember instead of speculating or elaborating on any of the things found at the scene (i.e. sleeping pills..). I found it to be a wonderful insight about the good side of Heath.

He was a great actor whom I admired and you did a great job retelling the great and real things about this man. Thank you.

-Scott/NH [RIP. Heath Ledger]
