Why won't american Idol go away?

Such a tragedy that they had to butcher Beatles Songs on that lack of talent show last night. Just goes to show that the American public has completely lost touch with what good quality "real" music is. I am proud to say that I have never watched a single episode of this joke and only caught that they ruined Beatles songs on the news today. Completely pissed me off that these wannabes were given the opportunity to kill great songs.

Update:

The fact that it has great ratings just proves how stupid we are as a country...if electing our current president didn't prove that already.

    Still better than the X-Factor or any of those other British shows. I was also wondering when Idol was going to flop. It's for entertainment; not truly to find real musicians. However, obviously you shouldn't be judging the "book" by the "cover" you see on the news

    American Idol is for those little kids who wait at 8 o'clock for a show past their bed time. They cant watch any real shows bc they are either inappropriate or they are on too late. American Idol used to be good in the first few seasons but it got boring quite easily. Now, its a complete joke. I just watch the results shows to see the guest performers like David Archuleta will be preforming tonight. Basically, Idol is still on bc some random people still like it.

    American Idol was good for the first 2 or 3 seasons. The good news is that Simon is quitting American Idol after this season and we all know he makes that show so I'd say it's good riddance to American Idol soon...

    LOL - yeah it does yet He began dropping his cool ingredient with the final couple of Aerosmith albums. he's previous rocker nonetheless attempting to be the sexy guy on point, hardship is he comes off as an imitation of his glory days. I do have faith this would basically smash what occupation he had left.

    It's been great in the past, but this season just sucks. I think it's going downhill quickly. Especially considering this is Simon's last year. The judges are going out of their minds, none of them are helping the contestants at all, which is also helping the show go downhill. It'll be done after next year, no one can replace Simon.

    Totally! That show is a waste of time! It is dumbing down America, and anyone else who watches it! I hope that it goes off the air SOON!
