Yes, but thats why you want to watch – for the talent. Its great to watch people make a fool of themselves but you also want to watch those who can actually sing, sing! For me if its going to be a singing competition, the focus should be on a competition that centers around singing.

I only had a chance to watch the first episode and wasn’t very impressed. I actually watched it while reading a paper and since I only lost my place a couple of times, that tells me I really wasn’t into the show. I heard the new judge is from New Jersey and thus I was hoping for big things from her but she didn’t really deliver. She made a fool of herself challenging the bikini girl. I didn’t think the bikini girl was that attractive but she could sing. Even if she couldn’t sing though, any judge who challenges a contestant makes a fool of themselves and Kara did the other night. What is pleasant about her is she is opinionated and doesn’t pander. I like that honesty. Simon does a good job of it and even Randy does but no one takes Randy seriously because he plays around too much. Its only been one episode so I am kind of holding out hope Kara will continue speaking up when contestants are good and they are bad.
