This is a terrible idea. There’s no way this would bring the ratings out of a nosedive.
This ‘Idol’ nonsense is starting to irritate me. I’m just going to not post about this judging situation until it’s final.

If there’s a lesson in the booting of Pia Toscano, it’s that criticism, when it’s offered by people who know what they’re doing, isn’t evil. It’s a force that enriches, an aesthetic helping hand, a declaration of reality that helps the best artists to prevail. Let’s hope that tonight the judges remember what they’re there for. Let’s hope that they start judging.
