Americans start seeing American Idol the way I always have

I admit that I figure out things quicker than the average American, and there are somethings I look at and say, "Really?"
American Idol has always been one of those things.
The show is terrible, cheesy, a waste of time.
Glad to see people are starting to figure it out

5/20/09…10.0/28…28.8 million
5/21/08…11.4/30…31.7 million
5/23/07…11.5/31…30.7 million
5/24/06…14.2/35…36.4 million
5/25/05…12.5/31…30.3 million
5/26/04…12.0/32…28.8 million
5/21/03…15.9/36…36.2 million
9/4/02 …10.7/30…22.8 million (aired in summer)

This year...24.2 million

Update: Fox Pleased Despite 'Idol' Ratings Dip

I was at an establishment that was showing this, so I was forced to watch it.

It

is

crap,

period.

Maybe this is why the ratings are going down:

'Idol' tries to get its groove back

Last year, its talent slipped and its ratings fell for the first time. Now, America's favorite show aims to take advantage of a TV landscape diminished by the writers' strike.

This show is terrible. I think 4 former Idol "stars" just got fired from their contracts this week. Jordan Sparks is going nowhere, Taylor Hicks was just let go and never did anything, Rubin Studdard is done as well. Two out of five winners have done well, and one other is doing well. That's three people in 5 years.
Terrible show, makes my head hurt to watch it. The first few weeks are even worse, when we get to see idiots sing that can't and don't know it.

The beginning of the end for Idol

This show is terrible...
I know I saw it and called it before the average American sheeple figured it out...but slowly they are getting it...

FADING FINISH: 'IDOL' RATINGS DROP 8% IN WEEK... 14.7 RATING/23 SHARE FOR FOX SHOW, DOWN FROM LAST TUESDAY'S 15.5/25... SHOW HAS LOST RATINGS FROM WEEK-TO-WEEK FOR LAST 3 OUTINGS... MORE

Seacrest and Cowell Get Nasty on `Idol'

Man, this show has nothing without Cowell. Seacrest has no talent whatsoever.
Paula and Randy just say what the crowd wants them to say, and just about everyone on the show is about as talented as 10 million other people...

UPDATE: MAYBE AMERICA IS WAKING UP...
