PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Adam Lambert, judge?" |
And that marks the official end of the career. http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/american-idol-may-reportedly-revamp-entire-judging-panel-add-adam-lambert-as-judge-13626.php I won't argue that the panel needs a desperate 'fire everybody on all levels and with Nigel, use a cannon' revamp, but I don't think Adam is the solution. He made a decent mentor in his one try at it, but actual judging (which hasn't been seen in two seasons) is another matter. And can he really work on a show which refuses to let him discuss his life, causes, beliefs, and existence in any way? Gonna be one fascinating no-talking contract... For now, I'm filing this under Too Good To Be True: not getting Adam, but losing Randy, Steven, and Nigel in one fell chop. And even that won't fix the show. There are a lot of things which would help fix the show, and all of them require actual thought from a network. Not. Going. To. Happen. But it's fun to watch them not try.

Poor Kellie, getting caught between the Claymates and the Lambert fans. Her, um shoes, are not going to be nearly enough padding.

8. "One seat opens." |
LAST EDITED ON 07-12-12 AT 07:41 PM (EST)Steven Tyler is officially off the panel. And with that, the world becomes a little safer for underage contestants everywhere. ETA: Within minutes of posting this, the Worsters pointed me at a People article which has Jennifer speaking about leaving on this morning's Today Show. This could be her 'Pay me still more money or else!' gambit for a nowhere-near-record-breaking second year in a row -- or she could be walking. Or possibly, given the way people reacted to this no-criticism trio over the last two seasons, she's being pushed. Stay tuned.

17. "RE: One seat opens." |
When the last seat shuffle wrapped up, I saw it as stunt casting with a faint note of hope: that maybe, just maybe, the replacements would be able to judge singing and convey their thoughts without resorting to Kara's scale of I Don't Care What's Good, I Care What Sells. And that went away the instant they opened their mouths, then stayed on vacation for two full seasons. They weren't critiquing performances: they were trying to create new religions. Worship the person currently on stage -- and then the next, and then a sacrifice for the next, virgins preferred... Well, this country has been begging for a pantheon-based faith. Part of the audience drop was the aging music (styles, selection, and performances -- look at the guest stars for this year's finale), some of it was the lower quality of the contestants, but more than a little had to have been 'If I have to watch one more person fall into the lake while those three tell me they're walking on water, I'm going to kill something'. And something did die: the ratings. With The Voice, one judge could be biased for their own team, but the other three could cheerfully declare svck. Idol neutrality: praise everybody. Hosannahs to the highest! And the lowest! And whoever just dropped an anvil on their own feet! So I thought they were fired/not fired all along: we'll let you leave gracefully as long as you leave. But the laugh may have been from Jennifer asking for a 2M raise before they tossed her. Because on the Jennifer pay scale, the less you contribute, the more you should make. So clearly they had to fire her immediately because at the rate she was going, another four years would have her owning Murdoch. As for One Direction -- X-Factor ads are already trumpeting the idea of the show finding the Stateside equivalent. The Worsters, who can scent conspiracy earlier than most, believe this means two things: 1. Groups pushed in our faces from auditions to finale. 2. Simon mentors them.

14. "RE: Aretha Franklin volunteers for a seat." |
Actually, I could kinda see her in the matriarch role as long as she is balanced by two younger, more current judges. The show has really been missing a leader since Simon left.

19. "Mariah officially in." |
LAST EDITED ON 07-24-12 AT 06:57 AM (EST)The bad news: this means not only are we never getting rid of Randy, his vocabulary is about to degenerate into one sentence: 'I work with Mariah.' And that's all he'll say. Ever. It will be his vote, his performance review, and his dinner order. And he will be paid millions for it. Go ahead and cry. You've earned it. (The odds also went way down for Aretha and Adam, as there's a per-panel diva limit. Additionally, while Nigel's opinion may not matter much longer, he's becoming irritated with Adam's fans Twitter-pushing him for the hire.) ETA: Jennifer has a banner at the bottom of this page. It's the last involvement with the show she'll ever have.

Now they are saying Brad Paisley. Might not be a bad idea with more and more country contestants entering the fray. Not looking forward to Mariah at all. Need a breath of fresh air on the panel and Mariah is not that !!
