....is really LACKING the X FACTOR.
This week the live shows started and both nights I fell asleep after 20 minutes. Yes, I was tired. But also, the program just didn't capture my interest! Here are some of my ISSUES with the show:
1) The hosts. Don't get me wrong, I love to "KEEP UP" just as much as I love Saved By The Bell. But Mario Lopez and Khloe Khardashian just can't deliver "THE CHEESE" in the same way a certain Ryan Seacrest can. They come off as annoyingly amateur and I have trouble watching it.
2) Britney. Someone else I LOVE. But here's the thing: you CANNOT say "I wasn't expecting that" along with "It was AMAZING!" after every single performance.
3) Demi. Since when is this a dance competition? IT ISN'T!!! Stop telling people they look "so stiff" and require more "dance practice". And for crying out loud, we know you're TWENTY YEARS OLD! Although you may be able to relate to the contestants on a personal level, you don't have the experience of L.A. or Simon.
4) Electronic voices and poor sound quality. I can hardly HEAR the actual artists singing due to all of the background sounds and computer-generated noises.
5) The audience. They NEVER STOP yelling or cheering. It's ANNOYING. Let the people sing and speak, will ya!
6) Too much CHANGE. Why do the contestants have to resemble something they're not? Isn't it best to let them show their genuine flare and allow the viewers the chance to love or love not?
All this being said, I will give the show a second chance next week. I just read a story on People.com where Khloe discussed some areas of improvement for her own performance. Reflection is a good thing. Let's just hope the other key players engage in a similar activity!
