It's amazing how little support the show is getting when it's far better produced, with much better talent, more enjoyable performances and even the set and vibe is better than American Idol. Some speculation has been that they didn't show all the horrible auditions and that that was what drove people to love AI. (i.e. watching folks get humiliated) which really isn't a factor of this show since the talent in general is significantly better than AI.

I think it sort of shows that the public at large isn't NEARLY as concerned with talent as the artist community is. This is one good piece of the proof. When you wonder why pop music is often more style over substance, think back to the fact that this show is a flop and AI is a big success. Better singers, better songs, better performances mean nothing to the overall viewing public. Smarmy judges like Simon Cowell (who I enjoy) and flashy ones like Paula Abdul (who hasn't made a single valuable comment in all the years the show has been on) are more attractive than good, specific critiques, pro quality (but still basically unknown) artists and significantly less cheesy songs.

Hopefully this will illustrate that labels really ARE giving the public what they want... for better or worse. If you try to feed them quality and they want fluff.. they aren't going to eat it. Labels learned that long ago. I guess TV and Mark Burnett is learning it now. Very disappointing.
