Fans Think Show Is Pushing Sob Stories For Ratings
American Idol fans think the show is pushing sob stories to get ratings. This may be true. However, it has not been confirmed. Fans are fed up.
- Anyone feel like they highlight contestants more than the other? I feel like there is a bunch of talent and they keep getting voted off due to producers creating that recognition bias with showcasing “sob stories” and showing the same contestant. I feel like it has been happening with the recent seasons. I miss how the old american idol used to be. Based off of talent of the singer, no gimmicks.
- lol American Idol has done this since S1. That said, the contestants used to be more interesting and not so one note & not fun.
- Every season, I seem to lose interest in the show after it moves to Hollywood. Maybe it has something to do with what you said.
- It’s been that way forever. Back in the day the judges comments used to be what they used to sway the votes to who they wanted to win. They have their people picked out from the beginning
