was the final american idol 2016 the best of the series though or just okay?

was good not sure how to rate if this final ever idol was the best ever like they said it would be, enjoyed some of the earlier stuff when cowell was a judge back in the early days of idol, another cowell venture in the usa that comes to a end though, i thought that idol would of gone on for some more time and new series.

okay so in the immortal words from one of my posts about, american idol was not safe and ended in 2016 with the final ever show.

and what did i post in 2015 about the american idol in a post ?, answer below.

"and the show is still on after they axed the x factor usa just 2 years ago now, so far the american idol looks safe."

well i got that one wrong because the american idol had its final ever series earlier this year, and they said that is it, there will be no more series ever, not even any spin off's or specials for the american idol, though if they wanted to they would probably do a spin off show i would guess.

so like x factor usa the american idol also failed and simon cowell failed in a way to have a success or should say running success with a talent show in the usa, because i think idol was created by simon cowell and someone else who had a legal dispute with cowell over rights years later, but created in the uk.

just like cowell and x factor, though idol was popular for a long time to be fair, just the voice usa now i think for major talent shows in america.

started out interesting but american idol got cancelled 2016 judges favored youth over older singers

over 10 years back, the american idol started out very interesting but american idol got cancelled after the last season in 2016, so that is 4 years since your post, and a lot of people could already see the writing on the wall and that american idol did not have all that long left.

they did pick too many glossy teenagers, that seemed to be the most important criteria to make through the rounds of the auditions on american idol, and older people hardly ever got a look in, seemed like the show was just for good looking young teenagers, and not so much about who could sing the best, older folks who auditioned to american idol, never seemed to get anywhere even if they were the best singers ever.

anyone else notice that how the american idol favored young singers, like a bias, they only had a targeted audience, i really did not see many old people get through the auditions rounds practically ever.

american idol spiritual advisers and the new age types

american idol spiritual advisers and the new age types, this is interesting, and strange also, they could of used something more like coaches who are music people like they do on the voice, who knows what the spiritual advisers could be up to, of course some of em will be really altruistic.

but that was a bit strange when they did that with american idol, if they are really good and honest spiritual advisers then cool, but how would you know either way?.

american idol 2016 auditions will be the last ever show is cancelled

so the american idol 2016 auditions will be the last ever show and after that the american idol is cancelled, been a bad few years for these big talent contests, but i guess they only ever had so much shelf life and then they would all start getting old and losing ratings, and that is the main thing with television networks, the ratings.

why are ratings so important to a television company like fox?, because if no one is watching anymore, then they are basically sending out a signal and broadcasting to no one, so they might as well not bother, so when a show as big as american idol starts losing its popularity and dropping ratings like it has there is only one thing that will happen and that is for the tv network to cancel the show, and look to replace it with something new/and/or more popular, and that is why the american idol 2015 basically got cancelled, with fox deciding to do oe last "farewell" season of american idol in 2016.

the auditions for the farewell season of american idol are taking place now and over the next few months so try out if you ever thought about doing them but was not sure this is the last ever season auditions for american idol.

the voice usa 2016 wins over the american idol which will get cancelled after 2016

in the battle between which would be the best singing competition between the voice and the american idol, next year with the american idol 2016 and the voice 2016 auditions usa, the voice wins out, because it will be back in 2017 and so on, whereas as the other talent competitions like american idol will be cancelled after 2016.

it was a competition between the x factor, the american idol and the voice, to which talent show would be no1 and it has ended up being the voice, after the other 2 shows have now been cancellled, just american idol to return for one last farewell season with the american idol auditions in 2016.

the x factor usa been cancelled a few years ago, so now there is no competition for the voice usa 2016 you would expect it to now go on and on for as long as they like, they have no competition anymore, so there is nothing really stopping there being the number one talent competition which it comes to just auditions and singing shows.

and if the x factor uk gets cancelled after 2016, the same might apply to the uk with there only being the voice uk auditions and no other major talent competition to compete with it anymore.

what is the the american idol singing competition really about?

does anyone know?, it should not come into it when the judges are judging the american idol contestants, look at the judging panel, they have a mix of different judges, the show is meant to be about singing talent, so in a way they are about being judgemental, but it is just meant to be judging on how good of a singer they are.

though they do also go on appearance and how people look it would seem, because when it gets down to who is getting through the auditions and into the live shows and finals, they are usually quite good looking, so it does look like there is some judging going on on how people look and other things, not just how good there singing is.

can probably find some things statistically, but just by what the show is do they say that they are "fair" judges or are they biased talent judges.

The American Idol and Politics kind of the same thing?.

Well it is kind of like the same kind of deal or thing, all about appearance and sounding good, and things of that nature, so going from the american idol singing contest, then into politics, could be a kind of natural progression, of course for the more mature singer.

though it might look strange to some, even former bodybuilder and actor arnold schwarzenegger did the same move and it worked well for him.

american idol is a bit like politics winning votes from a audience so can see how it could work out well if he sticks at it.

The American Idol 2015 Auditions Fox TV Thursdays at 8pm

Good to see the return of american idol 2015 auditions, but just once a week now, it used to be on tv twice a week, wednesdays and thursdays.

"Thursday, Jan. 8
8 p.m.: American Idol (Fox) "

been a two hour show though each week to compensate, i think they were sometimes a bit shorter the episodes not always 2 hours, so just once a week starting at 8pm with 2 hour episodes is not so bad.

and the show is still on after they axed the x factor usa just 2 years ago now, so far the american idol looks safe.

American Idol 2015 auditions this year

not exactly your topic, but, i was looking up on the x factor judges for this years x factor usa, i am worried britney spears could have a break down, she looks really nervous.

well anyway, this cracks me up, if you have seen simon cowell he has a quirky style and look to him, well he has been modelled into a "meme" called "son i am disappoint", this will make you laugh when you see simon cowell on the x factor haha

oh well x factor usa auditions have finished now, is anyone auditioning for the american idol 2015 this year? http://theamericanidol2015.blogspot.com/

currently we are near the end of this years american idol 2014 so the auditions will be quite soon afterwards.
