    Oh, and to underscore that this ISN'T American Idol, Simon wears a white V-neck instead of black.

    He wore a charcoal one last night, so maybe this is leading to an American Idol/X Factor Challenge show next year.

    Shows like this are why I don't spend more time with my wife. I can at least get through Survivor or the Amazing Race, where people are doing something than bad karaoke. How many singing shows is this now? Too many.

    That and about 75 pounds.

    And let's be honest. If it's Pepsi or Coke in those cups, it's also got a shot of something.

    I don't know how anybody with a modicum of gray matter can watch these singing "talent" shows. Or dancing ones for that matter. The New York Times devoted about 30 inches today to "Dancing With the Stars." The next minute of that drivel I watch will be the first. Do yourselves all a favor and turn off this garbage. It's rotting your brains, note by note.

    Hey, if I watch it, it's on DVR and I ff through it until I see something that looks like a freak show.

    God, Dick, can you just try NOT judging people for finding entertainment in something easy? When I watch TV, or movies, I usually want to escape the shithole that is my life. So I'm sorry if I don't to watch a dramatic reading of Stephen Hawking's dissertation. I just want to watch people sing, or dance. It's not fucking rotting my brain.

    I am so sick of the line of thinking Dick is espousing. It's lazy, judgmental crap. It's shit somebody who watches the X Factor would supposedly say. Because it's stupid.

    The evidence of this show's appeal is evident in the fact that since it aired last night, not one comment has been made about the auditions that were shown.

    I didn't wade through the new TV show thread, so this may have been addressed, but who's still watching?

    I find the talent pool to be very shallow.

    The only singers I like are Dawn, Melanie Amaro and Marcus Canty.

    And the bickering among the judges seems forced.
