American Idol is bogus !!!!

Of the two I ended up preferring The Voice, but both are a little kitschy for me. I can find better singers than half of their top 10 if I walk into the local college, step into a choir recital, and throw a stone.

Somethings about the voice I like, but I honestly don't care for Reality TV. I hate it.

I never watched American Idol but the Voice got me hooked in episode one and I watched the whole thing.

I'm not a big fan of reality TV. XD The last time I watched American Idol was one of the first few years it was on--it seems a little pointless now. I remember watching it last time and thinking; "How is that person winning?! Everyone hates her!" I just can't really get in to it. I don't know these people, so I don't really care about their success of failure (in most situations). I do enjoy some reality shows, like Beauty and the Geek--just because it's cute, and it's relevant to ME.

I've never even heard of the voice. XD I'm so out of the loop!

I watched American Idol really briefly years ago, but I just don't really watch reality tv at all.

I actually enjoyed watching the Voice before, but American idol is alright to watch if I have nothing better to do.

I've hated every singing-related reality show I've seen. They all seem to focus on a very particular style of performance and I personally don't like pop singers who do a billion vocal runs so, meh.

I watched the first season of The Voice because I used to like the band Meg & Dia.

To me, The Voice has more unique singers. There are singers on American Idol that are good...but they aren't anything different (their voices are cookie cutter and there's already someone who sounds like them on the radio).

I've never really watched it. I know when it first came out my hubby and his brother used to make fun of the people that were auditioning that had no business thinking they really had talent.

I know what you mean, there are a lot of people that have great voices, but don't want to follow that as a career.

My husband was the one that got me hooked on the Voice. He told me that I needed to watch one episode and I really did like it.

Don't worry, I'm usually out of the loop on things of this nature too.
