American Idol is just karaoke on TV.

Why would I try to change your mind when you're already right?

And look, most of these singers are really good and all. And I'm sure a couple of them will have some success after this. Maybe I'm just extra cynical because I'm a singer and I feel like I'm better than some of these folks. I dunno.

Nope.  Karaoke usually has performers that are half in the bag or better.  That might actually make American Idol interesting.

At least drunk karaoke singers exhibit some personality, and play to the crowd a little bit. Most of these folks are just singing. Singing well, yes, but that's all it is.

I like watching people sing well, but more than that, I like watching people having a great time. That's the problem with these shows. The stakes are so high, and they feel like there's so much riding on every performance, that they don't seem to let loose and have fun.

It sucks after Cowell left change that

At least when he was on the show, there was someone there to tell it like it is. 

Plus it was fun when he and Ryan Seacrest made fun of each other for being secretly gay.
