Nashville Star is a disaster. This season has the worst talent I’ve seen yet, and of the 5 major networks, this show
is in fifth place.

he doesnt know ANYTHING about music…
he just stuck it out long enough, and puts his hand in EVERYTHING,
(sometimes he gets lucky, sometimes he doesnt) hoping to make a buck!
on a side note, big kenny is awesome!

American Idol is by far the #1 show in TV. Compared to other top shows like Grey’s Anatomy, CSI, Desperate Housewives, etc, it has lost less audience this year. TV ratings across the board are down. If Rich thinks putting down other shows is the way to build up his own, he’s wrong. That’s just like someone who insults others to make them feel better about their own miserable self. No way I would watch any show this guy is on.

I’m amazed that Nashville Star is still on the air given its complete lack of impact on the actual country music industry. I guess it must have decent ratings. I’ve never followed the show but I did really love Chris Young’s debut single; too bad he couldn’t have found some other way to break into the business.

The song by Julio Ignasius Jr. was absolutely ridiculous. I think it’s fine that he has an opinion, but after Gone Country, I don’t think he is the one to say this.

It’s just getting tiresome watching TV or listening to the radio these days! I could go on and on, but no need! I have no use for John Rich or his music or for his show! I made the mistake of watching the first show, but I learned a lesson!

Wed, 07 May 2008 15:36:13 +0000 http://countryuniverse.wordpress.com/?p=943#comment-15194 American Idol has tried to do things to keep getting ratings, but they are backfiring this season. American Idol does need to be more genuine, less staged, and more performance focused. The voting is becoming more of who’s cuter or who’s more popular when it should always be about who’s the best. AI needs to make a lot of changes. Yes, John Rich has noticed this, and he has the right to speak, but should he really? I agree that someone from outside the show should bring these things up, not someone so tightly associated with the show.

I respect John Rich for his willingness to seak out. I respected the Dixie Chicks for the smae thing.

However with him on Nashville Star and Gone Country I don’t think he is the one to tell this stuff. AMerican Idol is losing out because it is fake and everyone knows it. I know quite a few people who have auditioned and I was considering it myself until they told me the truth. Of course it was obvious, but there are at least three minor audition segments before even getting close to the three judges who are only reading off the comments of the ones the contestants auditioned for before.

Yes a lot of the show is staged and the more people audition the more they relize this, but John is not the one to speak out on this issue considering his reputation and the fact that he could be critisized for trying to glorify his own reality shows. Nashville star is reality, no weeding out just pure talent, American idol however is staged in many aspects of it. They brings out some great singer and all, but once your in your soul is signed to them and thats not how a singer should be.
