This is great fare for the whole family. We went to the American Idol summer tour concert last summer. Really a great time had by all. It's rare to find something the my husband and I enjoy just as much as our girls. Plus, because we all watch together, we're able to talk about the consumerism, sexuality (think Adam Lambert) and whatever else pops up on the spot.

Great Show.I like how simon acts

that is all i have to say.

Atualmente a temporada está regular, a anterior há essa foi bem melhor, mas a Jennifer Lopez está sendo muito justa, estou gostando bastante

This show tells kids that everyone has a chance a fame in a good way. Even though they could bleep out some bad words, it's a fun entertaining family show that children seven and up should have no problem enjoying. As for consumerism, all shows have consumerisim from commercials, to food items and the cartoons on cereal boxes. I dont even think consumerism should be on common sense, it's not a big deal. Even Dora the explorer has bookbags,lunchboxes and clothes. Are you going to tell your kids not to watch that too?

I attempted to watch American Idol several times because co-workers raved and raved about it. While not a fan of so-called 'reality' programming and not one to follow fads, I thought I'd give it a try anyway. "Dreadful" as Simon would say. Some people just think it's hilarious to see people being publicly humiliated (yes, many contestants have to know what they're getting into) but, watching and supporting it only feeds the negativity. I couldn't even get past that and immediately tuned out. I'm sure many fans will say "Just get past the criticism and watch the acts." Personally, I don't care for 'created' artists and those who've never paid their dues in the music world. American Idol has created a few performers who've held on to stardom just from their exposure on the show, but the majority have faded away. I really hope the show winds down as viewers tire of the format. From what I've heard of the most recent incarnation, it's more lackluster than ever and the shine has become a soft, dull luster of it's former self.

The kids love it, but the audition shows make me a little squirmy. The negative feedback from the judges is pretty harsh-don't want my kids to think that's acceptable or thoughtful.

This show was great in 2002 but after 7 years of relentless pop music, skimpy clothing and questionable guest performers, it definately won't be missed once its gone.

This show is pretty good. Its something to watchvb that will probely intrest you. theres also not alot of suggestive humor. theres only some mlid language. good show.
