Ya know why the shows bore me so much??? There are *4* singers in a 2 hour show. They stretch it out with so much filler.

At this point, the show should be 1 hour. Each singer singing 2 songs. I can't stand how over produced this show has become. I miss the first few seasons when you really felt for the kids and saw their point of view. Now, it's all staged and overproduced.
The only "realness" is Jimmy's commentary. I don't even listen to the "judges" anymore.
I hate this, too. They're contracted to sell 2 hours though and who knew when this was decided that we'd have such underwhelming people to watch???
Fox NEEDS AI, it's their only high ranking show. This is the week of 4/15 numbers:

Even though their numbers are down (note they JUST beat a REPEAT of the Big Bang Theory

they are really ALL that Fox has to offer ratings wise.
And YES, the Voice is kicking their butts by miles!
Love my birthday boy, Jimmy! He told their sorry tails OFF last night!
