i'd love to see a show on tv where they actually had to get up and always play a variety of instruments and learn new ones too. that would show true musical ability. lots and lots can sing, can you play a saxaphone with a week's practice?QUOTE]
It wouldn't work Rachel, anyone that can do that can also lie about not being able to do it and win the competition by cheating.
i love watching AI with the new judges but in the long run it's still just a karaoke show and kinda a joke on REAL musical talent. take JLo for example. she's beautiful, GREAT actress (one of my favs) but as a VOCAL singer she's not that great. she can dance around and kinda sing little dittys but she's no Jewel or Adele.
Agreed!
Steven Tyler is a scream singer, which is awesome, but he's no Michael Buble, Sinatra, or Josh Groban.
Never have liked screaming as a substitute for singing!
And what the heck does Randy know about singing? He's a producer right? He's not a singer or musician himself is he?
He played the bass and was a musician long before he was a producer. (I think he played with Journey.) I think this ought to be AI's last season. I just don't enjoy it any more so won't watch it if it comes back. I think the real talent on the show was always Simon!
