Any show where they "search the country" for the next-big-whatever is basically a sham. This show is no different. The producers can fudge the numbers on votes, hand pick people to go however far they want, and do whatever they can to keep ratings up. None of these shows are authentic, and if you go in realizing that, it's easier to just enjoy it as a show.

The wholesome girl never stood a chance with the network because there is no organization to fight for her, the days of America being wholesome are gone and this is what we will have to deal with, What a crock of shit.
The performances have been great! I also like the fact that the coaches have a say in who gets through until the Finals. That eliminates the best people going home before they should.vball10set;818483 wrote:I only watched the first two episodes, and then again last night--and it was awesome...IMO it blew away any finale AI ever had. Combining these four contestants with the fours stars, and singing their hits as duets, was sheer genius. I loved it.

Having the coaches pick who moves on in the early rounds does NOT ensure the best move on... a couple really good singers were left out in the battle rounds.
Dia will not have a career...she flat out sucks. What is with the "whisper singing" (best way I can describe it). She can sing in a normal voice when she wants (but not well). It is like I said before...she is making an over the top attempt to have a unique sound rather than just singing. Unfortunately for her, she is failing at both. The only reason she is getting any downloads right now is because she is being pushed by a reality show. If she just tried to release music on her own without ever being on a show, she would fail.
Wasnt there something about Javier being on American Idol at one point? If so, AI can say "Our reject was the best on your show". That would seem good for AI wouldnt it?

I dunno, Dia has already had some success in the music industry, being on the Warped tour for several years, also having a soundtrack on the TMNT movie. With the publicity of this show, I can see her having a very solid career.ksig489;818543 wrote:Early AI was way better than this show. Current AI is a joke.
